‎Staging the Court of Burgundy.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2013 Hardback with dusjacket, IV 396 p., 200 b/w ill. 50 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History (HMSAH 69) Languages: English . ISBN 9781905375820.‎

‎This volume presents a study of the Burgundian court during the 15th century, and provides a forum for new research in various fields. In the course of the fifteenth century, the reputation of the Burgundian court rose to an unprecedented level, catapulted forward by ever growing territorial ambitions and accumulation of wealth. This reached a climax during the reign of Charles the Bold (1433-1477), the living embodiment of the pomp and pageantry of the Burgundian court and a generous patron of the fine arts. Rather than focusing on a single domain, this volume aims to shed light on Burgundian court culture as an organic whole, between the start of the reign of Philip the Good (1419) and the death of Mary of Burgundy (1482). It is intended to provide a forum for new research from the fields of History, History of Art, Literature and Musicology. With contributions (among others) from Wim Blockmans, Herman Brinkman, Barbara Haggh, Andrea Berlin, James Bloom, Till-Holger Borchert, Andrew Brown, Hendrik Callewier, Anna Campbell, Mario Damen, Sonja Duennebeil, Jonas Goossenaerts, Bieke Hillewaert, Andrew Hamilton, Eva Helfenstein, Jesse Hurlbut, Sophie Jolivet, Sascha Kohl, Sherry Lindquist, Jana Lucas, Samuel Mareel, Elizabeth J.

‎sources hebraiques medievales Vol. II. Les commentaires exegetiques.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1993 Hardcover. 68 p., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: French, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503360669.‎

‎The medieval Hebrew exegesis in its entirety is indisputably a major achievement in the work of the Jewish sages. The exegesis, designed firstly to elucidate the meaning of biblical terms, whose language was not always understood by members of the Jewish communities scattered throughout the Christian and Muslim world, and then to annotate them for academic and practical purposes, played an important role in enhancing understanding of the sacred texts and adapting them to the needs of schools and communities. The author defines the genre of the exegetic commentary and characterises the methods employed: he traces the stages of its development across the different socio-cultural backgrounds of medieval Judaism; he draws up specific critical criteria; he follows the spread of the genre in time and space, weighs up modern editions and shows us the contribution these commentaries make to the history of the Middle Ages. At the end of the book is a bibliography detailing the principal commentaries and tables showing how the genre is chronologically, geographically and thematically divided. The book provides a critical introduction to a category of sources which has been too long neglected by historians.<br>Dans son ensemble, l'exegese hebraique medievale est sans doute une realisation majeure de l'oeuvre des sages juifs. Destinee a elucider le sens des termes bibliques, dont la langue n'etait plus toujours comprise par les membres des communautes dispersees dans les mondes chretien et musulman, et a les commenter a des fins academiques et pratiques, l'exegese joua un role important dans l'intelligence des textes sacres et leur adaptation aux besoins des ecoles et des communautes. L'auteur definit le genre du commentaire exegetique et caracterise les methodes que celui-ci met en oeuvre; il retrace les etapes de son evolution dans les differentes aires socio-culturelles du judaisme medieval; il formule des regles de critique specifiques; il suit la diffusion du genre dans l'espace et dans le temps, apprecie les editions modernes et met en lumiere l'apport de ces commentaires a l'histoire du moyen age. Une bibliographie des principaux commentaires et des tables visualisant la repartition chronologique, geographique et thematique du genre completent cet ouvrage qui introduit critiquement a une categorie de sources trop negligee par les historiens.‎

‎Catalogue des manuscrits conserves dans la Bibliotheque du Patriarcat ?cumenique, Les manuscrits du monastere de la Panaghia de Chalki. Vol. I: notices descriptives. Vol. II: illustrations‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2008 Hardcover. 2 vol., 830 p., 295 colour ill., 210 x 270 mm, Languages: French, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503529295.‎

‎Le Catalogue decrit les manuscrits du monastere de la Panaghia situe sur l?ile de Chalki, manuscrits qui sont maintenant conserves au Patriarcat ?cumenique a Istanbul. Le premier volume contient, apres une ample Introduction, la description des 171 manuscrits grecs qui constituent ce fonds et se termine par les index d?usage, tres detailles ; le second volume est reserve aux illustrations, soit 295 planches photographiques, la plupart du temps en couleur : 259 planches pour les ecritures et les decors, 36 planches pour les reliures. Repondant aux normes scientifiques modernes, il remplace les catalogues anterieurs, ceux du metropolite Athenagoras (1921-22) et d?Aemilianos Tsakopoulos (1953). Se repartissant entre le 10e et le 18e siecle, les manuscrits de la Panaghia ont principalement un contenu liturgique et religieux. La litterature classique n?est cependant pas absente, et quelques miscellanees particulierement complexes sont d?un grand interet. La richesse de la collection tient aux conditions de sa formation. Elle rassemble en effet des manuscrits de trois origines : manuscrits copies sur l?ile de Chalki entre la fin du 15e siecle et le milieu du 17e pour les besoins de la communaute, manuscrits apportes par les moines du Prodrome de Sozopolis sur la mer Noire lors de leur exil de 1629, manuscrits offerts par des particuliers, des eveques ou des patriarches. Les abondantes annotations qu?ils portent en font une source documentaire de premier ordre pour ecrire l?histoire des communautes monastiques situees a Constantinople et dans sa region (en particulier dans la mer de Marmara) d?une part, a Sozopolis sur la rive occidentale de la mer Noire d?autre part. Le nombre exceptionnellement eleve de manuscrits signes et dates apporte beaucoup a la connaissance des centres de copie et a la paleographie. Realise sous l?egide de Sa Saintete Bartholomee Ier et avec le concours de Yanna et Theodoros Angelopoulos, ce catalogue est l??uvre de deux chercheurs de l?Institut de Recherche et d?Histoire des Textes (CNRS), Matoula Kouroupou et Paul Gehin.‎

‎Reformations, Three Medieval Authors in Manuscript and Movable Type‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2007 Hardcover. XVI 231 p., 4 b/w ill., 1 b/w tables, 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503523163.‎

‎This volume discusses the key shift from manuscript to print culture in the history of books, taking The Canterbury Tales, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Piers Plowman as models of the way in which a medieval text's unique tradition influenced its transition from manuscript to print. The forces of the Reformation era did not produce the same effect across the varied textual legacy of the Middle Ages. Every text that made the transition from manuscript to print brought with it a set of concerns, a tendency to address a particular readership in particular ways, a physical presence developed in manuscript culture, all of which might shape the pathways by which a text might arrive in print, and what it might look like when it got there. This study follows The Canterbury Tales, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Piers Plowman from their circulation in manuscript to their presentation in print, in order to track how each of them survived the metamorphosis of the relationship between writers and readers as the new technology was introduced. Taken together, the three case studies demonstrate to scholars of any medieval literature the variety of possible impacts made when texts composed in manuscript culture were prepared for printing. The great force exerted by the technological and cultural developments of the English Reformation, not least the more centralized legislative regulation of the press, has long been central to the study of the history of books. This volume takes into account the ways in which individual textual traditions pushed back or accelerated the forces of early modern reform, producing their own plural reformations.‎

‎Classica et Beneventana, Essays Presented to Virginia Brown on the Occasion of her 65th Birthday‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2008 Hardcover. XXIV 444 p., 20 b/w ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, French, Italian, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503524344.‎

‎The Festschrift volume Classica et Beneventana, presented to Virginia Brown on the occasion of her 65th birthday, brings together twenty-one insightful new essays by leading scholars devoted to the fields of classical reception and Latin palaeography. The authors investigate a wide-range of topics such as the development and application of the Beneventan script, comparative codicology, uses of early liturgical manuscripts, medieval artes and biblical texts and their readers, and the reception and dissemination of classical texts during the Italian Renaissance. Since 1970, Virginia Brown has been a Senior Research Fellow at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies. She is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities in classical reception and Latin palaeography. Her numerous publications on the Beneventan script have dramatically altered our knowledge of the dissemination of this southern Italian book hand from 800 to 1600. Her editorial work for the Catalogus translationum et commentariorum, as a member of the Editorial Board and since 1985 as Editor-in-Chief, has resulted in several learned volumes tracing the fortuna and study of classical authors from antiquity to the year 1600. As editor of Mediaeval Studies from 1974 to 1988, she single-handedly produced tomes noted for their scholarly rigor and acumen. This collection of essays serves as a fitting tribute to a scholar who, via her scholarly research and editorial work, has done so much to advance the fields of palaeography, codicology, and the history of classical scholarship.‎

‎Form and content of instruction in Anglo-Saxon England in the light of contemporary manuscript evidence Papers presented at the International Conference, Udine, 6-8 April 2006‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2007 Hardcover. XIII 546 p., 2 b/w ill. 4 colour ill., 165 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9782503525910.‎

‎The essays collected in this volume focus on a prominent aspect of Anglo-Saxon culture: educational texts and the Insular manuscripts which have preserved them. The English imported manuscripts and texts from the Continent, whilst a series of foreign masters, from Theodore of Tarsus to Abbo of Fleury, brought with them knowledge of works which were being studied in Continental schools. Although monastic education played a leading role for the entire Anglo-Saxon period, it was in the second half of the tenth and early eleventh centuries that it reached its zenith, with its renewed importance and the presence of energetic masters such as AEthelwold and AElfric. The indebtedness to Continental programs of study is evident at each step, beginning with the Disticha Catonis. Nevertheless, a number of texts initially designed for a Latin-speaking milieu appear to have been abandoned (for instance in the field of grammar) in favour of new teaching tools. Besides texts which were part of the standard curriculum, Anglo-Saxon manuscripts provide abundant evidence of other learning and teaching instruments, in particular those for a specialized class of laymen, the Old English laece, the healer or physician. Medicine occupies a relevant place in the book production of late Anglo-Saxon England and, in this field too, knowledge from very far afield was preserved and reshaped. All these essays, many by leading scholars in the various fields, explore these issues by analysing the actual manuscripts, their layout and contents. They show how miscellaneous collections of treatises in medieval codices had an internal logic, and highlight how crucial manuscripts are to the study of medieval culture.‎

‎Il presente studio si colloca all?interno di un complesso di ricerche che negli ultimi quaranta anni hanno affrontato la cultura grafica e la complessiva eredita culturale diumanisti della cerchia laurenziana, quali Angelo Poliziano, Marsilio Ficino, Bartolomeo Fonzio (libri appartenenti alla loro biblioteca, talora autografi oppure realizzati da copisti di fiducia, ma anche materiali di lavoro della piu varia natura, quali appunti, schedature, commenti inediti, traditi da fascicoli autografi, talora oggetto di plurime, successive sistemazioni in forma di volume). Il lavoro ha per oggetto la ricostruzione della biblioteca di Pietro Crinito (1474-1507), lo studio della sua cultura grafica e un catalogo dettagliato di tutti i libri che gli appartennero. In assenza di inventari e disposizioni testamentarie, la raccolta libraria del Crinito e stata ricostruita attraverso un sistematico spoglio della bibliografia di riferimento, ma anche attraverso controlli diretti dei singoli fondi delle principali biblioteche in cui sono giunti materiali dell?umanista fiorentino. La ricerca ha portato al reperimento di 34 volumi di proprieta del Crinito per un totale di 64 unita codicologiche. Particolare attenzione e stata dedicata ai manoscritti autografi del Crinito che, pur distribuiti in un arco di anni ridotto dal 1486 al 1500, permettono di delineare un quadro dell?evoluzione delle sue abitudini grafiche dagli anni della formazione scolastica all?eta matura. La ricerca individua l?evoluzione della scrittura e riconosce, a partire dal 1495, una svolta nelle scelte grafiche del Crinito che solo da questo momento, solo dopo lo studio degli autografi di Poliziano, adotta un modello di corsiva all?antica decisamente caratterizzato da forme di lettera e di legature di tradizione antiquaria.‎

‎L?originalite du nouveau repertoire d?incipit de manuscrits medievaux latins reside dans le caractere inedit de la majorite de la documentation rassemblee. Repondant a un souhait exprime depuis longtemps par plusieurs chercheurs, nous avons essaye d?enregistrer des informations figurant dans des fichiers peu ou pas accessibles a la majorite des medievistes. Constitues au fil du temps par des erudits ou par des equipes de chercheurs, ce materiel est susceptible de rendre d?enormes services a tous ceux qui souhaitent retrouver les manuscrits ayant conserve une oeuvre donnee ou bien encore identifier l?auteur d?un ouvrage considere jusqu?a present comme anonyme. Pour le moyen age, l?incipit d?un manuscrit ou d?une oeuvre, c?est-a-dire les premiers mots d?un texte, est le seul moyen tout a fait sur d?identification. Beaucoup de textes medievaux sont anonymes ou faussement attribues. Seul l?incipit peut alors servir a reperer les differents manuscrits qui conservent encore actuellement une oeuvre donnee. Des recherches peuvent etre faites sur differentes zones afin d?obtenir l?ensemble de la documentation concernant un incipit. L?ensemble du materiel sera publie en quatre volumes. Le dernier comprendra des index d?auteurs, de bibliotheques et de titres pour faciliter la consultation des donnees. Nous esperons donc que ce nouveau repertoire accessible dans les cabinets de manuscrits constituera une aide precieuse lors des recherches menees sur un manuscrit.‎

‎Ce quatrieme volume constitue non seulement le complement indispensable des trois premiers, mais aussi un instrument de travail irremplacable pour tous ceux qui sont a la recherche des manuscrits conserves d?un texte ou qui souhaitent identifier l?auteur d?une ?uvre restee anonyme.

Nous tenons a les remercier vivement de l?aide precieuse qu?ils ont fournie ainsi benevolement a tous les utilisateurs. D?autre part, en confectionnant les divers index, des uniformisations se sont encore averees necessaires que ce soit dans la maniere de citer un manuscrit, dans le nom des bibliotheques, dans le titre d?une ?uvre ou l?identification d?un auteur. A la fin d?un travail de cette ampleur, seuls les index permettent de voir une serie d?erreurs ou de variantes qui ne sautent pas toujours aux yeux en elaborant la documentation sur la base des fiches individuelles contenant les divers incipit et classees alphabetiquement. Enfin, a l?aide des index, il sera possible de faire des recherches croisees en ne partant plus seulement de l?incipit, mais aussi de l?auteur ou de la bibliotheque qui a conserve une ?uvre donnee. L?effort d?uniformisation qui a ete fait pour les realiser apparait immediatement et constitue un apport irremplacable a la documentation deja rassemblee dans les trois volumes precedents. Pour etre certain d?avoir reuni tous les renseignements necessaires, le chercheur doit se livrer a plusieurs interrogations successives qui sont indispensables. Ces interrogations complementaires eviteront de laisser echapper une information pertinente et de passer a cote d?un manuscrit important.

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2015 Hardcover with dusjacket, 296 p., 382 colour ill., 230 x 330 mm, 2015 Languages: English. ISBN 9781909400375.‎

‎This volume contains an impressive range of texts, from Horace (Cat. 17) and Ovid (Cat. 61) to the earliest known copy of the Collectio Lanfranci (Cat. 5) and Gerard of Cremona?s translations of Rasis? works (Cat. 93). The bulk, however, consists of Bibles of two kinds: imposing glossed books, produced in great numbers in the twelfth-century, and their thirteenth-century successors, the compact pandects. Both categories include some of the most richly illuminated French manuscripts of the period. Among the former are two deluxe sets made for Thomas Becket, the first completed while he was in exile in Pontigny and Sens from 1164 until 1170 (Cat. 27-31), the second edited after his martyrdom by his secretary Herbert of Bosham (Cat. 32-34). The majority of the thirteenth-century Bibles are so-called ?Paris? or ?pocket? Bibles produced from the 1220s onwards, mostly in Paris, and containing the biblical books in a standard order. They are illuminated in a variety of figure and ornamental styles, some comparable to the Bibles moralisees of c.1220-1240 (e.g. Cat. 72), others bearing no resemblance to them (e.g. Cat. 73). There are also notable exceptions of complete Bibles made not in Paris, but in North-Eastern France or Champagne (e.g. Cat. 70), and displaying iconography, figure styles and order of books different from those found in their better-known Parisian contemporaries. We hope that the inclusion of numerous images in full colour representing Bibles illuminated in all of these different styles will inspire and support further research, especially on the ornamental initials which deserve more attention. While this volume contains outstanding examples of illumination, notably the work of the itinerant Simon Master (Cat. 46), it also includes books that are modest in artistic terms, but valuable in other ways. Among them is a glossed Ezekiel which boasts one of the finest Romanesque bindings to survive in Cambridge collections, made almost certainly in Paris c.1160-1170 (Cat. 41). Other aesthetically unassuming volumes form important groups of material, for instance, the books assembled by Master Robert Amiclas during his forty years in France and given or sold by him to the Cistercian Abbey of Buildwas in Shropshire (Cat. 20-26, 37).‎

‎KORTE INHOUD De handschriften uit de voormalige Ter Duinenabdij Beschrijving Via mgr. Boussen kwam een hele partij manuscripten en gedrukte boeken van het fonds van de Duinenabdij in de Seminariebibliotheek terecht. De catalogus van de Codices Dunenses, door Antonius Sanderus in 1638 opgemaakt, getuigt van de glorievolle tijd (13de-14de eeuw), toen Ter Duinen een centrum van studie was en sommige van zijn doctores Parisienses aan de Sorbonne afstond. Getuigen ook van de bloei van het scriptorium Dunense. De Codices Dunenses zijn slechts voor een vijfde deel in het Seminarie terechtgekomen. De Stadsbibliotheek van Brugge bezit er een goede 300 van, het Seminarie 82. Treffend is vooral het feit dat de ge llustreerde codices bijna zonder uitzondering tot het fonds De Roover van het Seminarie behoren. Tot de Bibliotheca Dunensis behoorden sedert de unie met de Abdij Ter Doest (1627) ook de codices van deze abdij. Van de 171 manuscripten van Ter Doest zijn er 21 in de bibliotheek van het Seminarie bewaard. Ook een aantal andere handschriften van andere vroegere abdijen behoort tot deze collectie.‎

‎PENNED & PAINTED : The Art and Meaning of Books in Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts‎

‎, British Library 2022, 2022 Hardcover, 160 pages , ENGLISH , 245 x 190 mm, NEW , dozens of coloured images, . ISBN 9780712354363.‎

‎The idea of the book was central throughout the western European and the eastern Mediterranean world in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. From the beginning, the word for 'book'-sefer in Hebrew, biblia in Greek, and liber in Latin-was identified with sacred writings--the Holy Scriptures of Jews and Christians, who were known as 'people of the book'. The centrality of the book to medieval thought is reflected materially in the countless images of books that appear in the manuscripts of the era, be they in the most treasured, highly decorated, sacred texts or in devotional and secular works as well. In Penned & Painted, Lucy Freeman Sandler, one of one of the world's most respected authorities on medieval art, takes us on a personal but highly insightful exploration of some of the British Library's most precious manuscript holdings and describes the many uses and meanings of these 'books in books'. Through the fascinating face-to-face discovery of 60 manuscripts, she investigates the various types and forms of books as depicted in the era. How were they produced and what did they look like? What do they tell us of the lives and skills of the scribes and illuminators? What did these books record and signify? How were they displayed, consumed and how did some of these objects of supreme beauty even come to be wantonly destroyed? Penned & Painted is presented in full-colour throughout and includes a high number of images specially photographed for this volume.‎

‎Dans les ann es 1510-1520, Tournai traverse une zone de turbulence.

‎Spectacle for a Spanish Princess. The Festive Entry of Joanna of Castile into Brussels (1496)‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 440 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:240 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503594439.‎

‎Summary On the evening of 9 December 1496, Princess Joanna, Infanta of Castile, reaches the outskirts of Brussels where a procession of secular and ecclesiastical dignitaries welcomes her. After having been married to Philip the Fair in Lier, Joanna travelled to Brussels by herself. Equipped with torches and processional crosses, the citizens accompany her all the way to the heart of the city, the large market square with its magnificent town hall. The Berlin manuscript 78 D5 is the first illustrated report of an entry concentrating on one single lady. The manuscript is a treasure to all those interested in urban culture of the Early Modern period. The author of the festival booklet compares the well-lit city with the splendours of Troy and Carthage. Twenty-eight stage sets, or Tableaux Vivants, and an elaborate procession mirror the costly intellectual program presented to the sixteen-year-old princess. The carefully planned theatrical productions underscore themes of marriage, female virtues and the politics of war and peace. The program includes entertainments, soundscapes, and pyrotechnic amusements. The Latin texts are made available in English translation. The entire manuscript, with its sixty-three folios, is reproduced in colour. Eleven leading scholars present their new findings on this spectacular entry from an interdisciplinary approach.

‎Summary By comparison with Latin Europe, Anglo-Saxon civilization is notable for the amount of literature preserved in contemporary manuscripts in the vernacular language, formerly called ?Anglo-Saxon' but now more usually called ?Old English'. This literature includes some remarkable poetry, which is the subject of the present collection of essays. Some of the earliest poems may well have been written at a time when northern England held the intellectual leadership of Europe. The approach is holistic, investigating important issues in the manuscripts that affect the integrity of the texts to be studied or the way they relate to each other, examining metrical issues that affect the way the poems are appreciated for their compositional skill, studying particular textual problems that require elucidation or even emendation to make the meaning clear, and finally offering readings of particular poems focussing on themes that are central to Old English poetry. A postscript examines Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, which is presented as a ?Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry'. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Section A: Manuscripts Foreword 1.

‎Learning Hebrew in Medieval England. Christian Scholars and the Longleat House Grammar‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 204 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:24 col., Language: English. ISBN 9780888442307.‎

‎Summary For inquisitive Christian minds in the Middle Ages, there were many reasons to learn Hebrew. The rediscovery of classical sources and Aristotelian philosophy and the engagement with Graeco-Arabic sciences that marked the renaissance of the twelfth century also brought about an acute awareness of the need for a philological understanding of the Hebrew language. In England in particular, various factors combined to encourage and facilitate the study of Hebrew texts, not only among well-known writers but also among English scholars whose names have not been preserved. They nevertheless produced bilingual Hebrew-Latin manuscripts in collaboration with Jewish scribes, along with manuals, textbooks, and reference aids to facilitate access to the sources. This volume presents an edition and analysis of one such learning tool: a thirteenth-century grammar written in Hebrew, Latin, and Anglo-Norman French (the vernacular language of the Jews of England) in a complex combination of Hebrew and Latin alphabets.

‎Tables of 1322 by John of Lign res. An Edition with Commentary‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 159 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:4 col., 32 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503596099.‎

‎Summary Medieval astronomers used tables to solve most of the problems they faced. These tables were generally assembled in sets, which constituted genuine tool-boxes aimed at facilitating the task of practitioners of astronomy. In the early fourteenth century, the set of tables compiled by the astronomers at the service of King Alfonso X of Castile and Le n (d. 1284), reached Paris, where several scholars linked to the university recast them and generated new tables. John of Lign res, one of the earliest Alfonsine astronomers, assembled his own set of astronomical tables, mainly building on the work of previous Muslim and Jewish astronomers in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Toledo. Two major sets had been compiled in this town: one in Arabic, the Toledan Tables, during the second half of the eleventh century, and the Castilian Alfonsine Tables, under the patronage of King Alfonso. This monograph provides for the first time an edition of the Tables of 1322 by John of Lign res. It is the earliest major set of astronomical tables to be compiled in Latin astronomy. It was widely distributed and is found in about fifty manuscripts. A great number of the tables were borrowed directly from the work of the Toledan astronomers, while others were adapted to the meridian of Paris, and many were later transferred to the standard version of the Parisian Alfonsine Tables. Therefore, John of Lign res' set can be considered as an intermediary work between the Toledan Tables and the Parisian Alfonsine Tables.
