‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, ix + 266 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:14 col., Language: English. ISBN 9780888448347.‎

‎Summary This volume of twelve essays aims to honour the career and scholarship of Lesley Smith. The first section begins with two witnesses to Lesley's excellence as teacher and culminates with an appreciation of her as a scholar. The second section explores the scholarly terrain in which Lesley has made her most signal contributions: the material and cultural sites and artefacts within and by which the Christian Scriptures emerged as a field of theoretical inquiry in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The third and final section explores Latin Christian use of scriptural inquiry and understanding so as to engage scholarly and religious traditions outside those of the Latin Church.

‎Avalokitesvara-Sutras. Edition altuigurischer bersetzungen nach Fragmenten aus Turfan und Dunhuang‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 399 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:35 col., 17 tables b/w., Language: German. ISBN 9782503602349.‎

‎Summary The present book is a result of the Turfan studies carried out at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities since more than 100 years. The edition of Old Uyghur fragments that could be assigned to various texts about the Bodhisattva Avalokite?vara provides an insight into the history of Central Asian Buddhism. The monograph is accompanied by commentaries to a large number of subjects related to Tantric Buddhism of the Middle Ages. Some of the manuscripts have illustrations of the 40 objects held in the hands of the Bodhisattva Avalokite?vara of thousand arms and eyes well-known from statues and temple banners from Turfan, Dunhuang as well as China, Korea, and Japan. The Old Uyghur manuscripts are mainly based on Chinese originals of the Mijiao section (T. 1057, T. 1060, T. 1064 and T. 1982). One booklet was translated from a Tibetan original. The book concludes with a word index as a complement for the study of the Old Uyghur lexicon.

‎Summary Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906), descendant of a wealthy and well-known family of bankers, inherited quite young, through a series of unpredictable circumstances, the enormous fortune of Thomas Coutts, her maternal grand-father. She spent most of her long life in London, where she occupied a prominent position in society, becoming well-known not only for her splendid life-style and her important literary and political acquaintances, as, for instance, Charles Dickens and Admiral Nelson, but also for her active role as a philanthropist. This book explores a little-known side of her life; although she did not know Greek, she became the owner of ca. 100 Greek manuscripts, mostly theological, datable between the tenth and the sixteenth century, a part of which she donated to Highgate School. The manuscripts, with all the Baroness's possessions, were dispersed at auction in 1921 and in 1987 and are now mainly divided between American and European University Libraries. This book has identified for the first time the Baroness's Greek manuscripts, located and described them in detail, with special attention to their script style and their origin, adding to their description one or two plates of each codex.

‎Summary Di Tommaso d'Aquino, il pi noto e studiato teologo medievale, ci sono giunti cinque testi autografi, che vengono presentati qui per la prima volta all'interno di uno studio complessivo. La scrittura che li caratterizza talmente ostica da essersi guadagnata, gi nel Medioevo, l'appellativo di littera inintelligibilis, e spesso viene considerata una scrittura assolutamente personale. Quando si studiano le opere di un uomo considerato eccezionale, in effetti, facile incorrere nell'errore di giudicare anomalo, o straordinario, tutto ci che egli produsse, anche sul piano materiale. Obiettivo principale di questo lavoro quello di descrivere la scrittura di Tommaso e di inserirla nel suo contesto, esaminandola come un'espressione della scrittura dei dotti del tempo. Il volume suddiviso in tre parti. Dopo una descrizione codicologica dei manoscritti conservati, ci si concentra sulla scrittura attraverso una minuziosa descrizione dei fatti grafici. Infine, a partire dagli elementi materiali ricavati dall'esame degli autografi, viene esaminato il metodo di lavoro seguito da Tommaso e dai suoi collaboratori. Il punto di vista privilegiato quello della storia della cultura scritta: gli autografi di Tommaso sono analizzati nella loro materialit come testimonianze importanti che aprono spiragli di conoscenza sul lavoro intellettuale nel medioevo.‎

‎Illuminated Manuscript Production in Medieval Iceland. Literary and Artistic Activities of the Monastery at Helgafell in the Fourteenth Century‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 275 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:192 b/w, 22 col., 47 tables b/w., 2 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503589022.‎

‎Summary This book examines a cultural revolution that took place in the Scandinavian artistic landscape during the medieval period. Within just one generation (c. 1340-1400), the Augustinian monastery of Helgafell became the most important centre of illuminated manuscript production in western Iceland. By conducting interdisciplinary research that combines methodologies and sources from the fields of Art History, Old Norse-Icelandic manuscript studies, codicology, and Scandinavian history, this book explores both the illuminated manuscripts produced at Helgafell and the cultural and historical setting of the manuscript production. Equally, the book explores the broader European contexts of manuscript production at Helgafell, comparing the similar domestic artistic monuments and relevant historical evidence of Norwich and surrounding East Anglia in England, northern France, and the region between Bergen and Trondheim in western Norway. The book proposes that most of these workshops are related to ecclesiastical networks, as well as secular trade in the North Sea, which became an important economic factor to western Icelandic society in the fourteenth century. The book thereby contributes to a new and multidisciplinary area of research that studies not only one but several European cultures in relation to similar domestic artistic monuments and relevant historical evidence. It offers a detailed account of this cultural site in relation to its scribal and artistic connections with other ecclesiastical and secular scriptoria in the broader North Atlantic region.

‎Summary In the fall of 2016 an international scholarly conference accompanied the exhibition Beyond Words: Illuminated Manuscripts in Boston Collections. The speakers were chosen because of their expertise and because they were known to have research underway pertaining to important manuscripts in the exhibition. The aim of both exhibition and conference was to provide a broad overview of the history of patronage and book production over the course of the High and late Middle Ages, to the extent that the eclectic holdings of Boston-area institutions permitted. Most of the papers delivered at the conference have been collected as essays in this abundantly illustrated volume which, while still linked to the exhibition, now has an independent purpose. Just as the essays cover a wide range of topics, all relating to the history of the book, but also, inter alia, to the history of law, liturgy, literature, and libraries as well as to devotion, theology, and art, so too the approaches adopted by the contributors are as varied as the materials they study, ranging from paleography, codicology, and provenance research to painstaking reconstructions of historical patterns of patronage and the interpretative strategies of authors and artists. What results is not simply a wealth of fascinating insights into individual illuminated books, their makers, and their readers, but also an indication of how much remains to be learned about the materials to which the exhibition served as no more than an introduction.

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xix + 463 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Language(s):English, Armenian. ISBN 9782503590349.‎

‎Summary Hellenists know the services rendered by the R pertoire des catalogues de manuscrits grecs of Marcel Richard and Jean-Marie Olivier. It is an indispensable heuristic tool, but also a witness to the development of codicology and cultural history. Such a tool was lacking for specialists of Armenian manuscripts, philologists, linguists, and art historians. Armenian Manuscripts. Catalogues, Collections, Libraries (in English) is the second edition, revised and updated, of the R pertoire des biblioth ques et des catalogues de manuscrits arm niens first published in 1992. It includes the four supplements published in the journal Le Mus on in 1995, 2000, 2004, and 2019, as well as new sections devoted e.g. to the main copy centers of Armenian manuscripts. The book provides a full bibliography on all repositories of Armenian manuscripts in the world, public and private, large and small. It also gives many insights about the fate of Armenian manuscripts in the course of history: where and when they have been produced, mostly in medieval monastic centers, how they escaped invasions, fires, thefts and even destructions linked to the genocide of the Armenians, and finally how they ended up in private or public collections where they can be studied and admired today. Tables of concordance between current and old references enable one to locate manuscripts that are thought to have disappeared or to find more complete descriptions in an old catalogue than are given in recent lists. The volume also includes an impressive index of manuscripts.

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, vi + 369 pages, Size:150 x 230 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888448330.‎

‎Summary This volume pays homage to manuscripts and early printed books as material witnesses in the Middle Ages. The essays discuss broad questions relating to the partisan interpretation of texts, but they also illustrate how small details of format, script, and decoration uncover the text, its context, and its reception. Some articles explore scientific methods, examining whether social network analysis can offer an advance over traditional methods of establishing textual connections and using statistics to understand the transmission of ancillary materials. Others present critical editions and contextualize lost genres, providing a first edition of an unedited summary of Ovid's Metamorphoses steeped in the Boccaccian genealogical tradition, exploring mock funeral eulogies for animals, and discussing the variety of texts that pay witness to Ovid's penetration into vernacular literature. A closing brace of essays catalogue collections and reflect on changing trends in the study of manuscripts.

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 327 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503573397.‎

‎Summary This is the third and final volume describing manuscripts and fragments in British libraries containing commentaries and glosses on the Latin Aristotle. It covers institutional libraries from Aberdeen to York, including cathedral libraries, and lists 193 main items (including fragments dismembered from several books), dating from the twelfth century until c.1500. While many of these manuscripts have come to Britain from elsewhere in Europe and were only acquired post-1500, they represent teaching and learning not only in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge but also in continental universities. A majority of them are now held in the British Library, London, and many have not been fully described before. The volume also includes addenda from Oxford and Cambridge, and four indexes are provided to facilitate searching the main text.‎

‎Man and His Manuscripts. The Notebooks of Ademar of Chabannes (989?1034)‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 338 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:154 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503587790.‎

‎Summary This book is devoted to the life, autograph notebooks and manuscripts of Ademar of Chabannes (989-1034), a monk of Saint-Cybard in Angoul me and Saint-Martial in Limoges. Together Ademar's writings bear witness to his enormous productivity and to his many talents as a historian, preacher, musical composer, liturgist, teacher and artist. His notebooks in particular, assembled in manuscript VLO 15 at the University Library of Leiden, shed a unique - and neglected - light on Ademar's capacities as a teacher. An analysis of the texts in VLO 15 shows that Ademar was interested in an extended curriculum (including medicine and Arabic astrology) and that he used a variety of techniques and methods to instruct his pupils. In this study extensive attention is paid to a critical, palaeographical and codicological investigation of the extant manuscript evidence, including some newly discovered material. Ademar's versatile writing habits, his way of preparing his parchment and the flexible way in which he constructed and used his quires are discussed, with detailed descriptions of palaeographical samples and numerous colour plates. These will enable the reader to follow the investigations into past ascriptions of manuscripts to Ademar. The evidence here presented offers a more positive and nuanced view of Ademar, who in recent years has been portrayed as a solitary forger leading a marginal life at Saint-Cybard, his place of exile, on account of his attempts to promote his patron saint St Martial to a position as one of Christ's disciples. Allegedly, the ensuing conflict led to his decision to depart for the Holy Land, never to return. However, the evidence of the manuscripts makes this unlikely and proves that Ademar had every intention of returning to his beloved monastery to continue his work there. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I.

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 304 pages, Size:210 x 297 mm, Illustrations:3 b/w, 20 col., Languages: English, Uygur, Chinese. ISBN 9782503587080.‎

‎Summary The documents in this volume were written by people of the West Uighur kingdom, which flourished from the second half of the 9th century to the start of the 13th century in and around the eastern Tianshan region including the Turfan Depression, and by Uighurs of the 13th to 14th centuries when this region had come under the rule of the Mongol empire (i.e. former West Uighurs). Old Uighur is a form of Old Turkic. This Corpus includes over two hundred letters that were written in Old Uighur using the Uighur script, which derives from the Sogdian script. Although the use of paper had at the time not yet spread to Europe, these letters are all written on paper. The ink is similar to that which was used in China, but the letters were written with reed or wooden pens rather than with writing brushes. The majority of these letters were discovered in the 20th century in China, either in the Turfan Depression in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region or in the famous Mogao Caves of the Thousand Buddhas at Dunhuang in Gansu, and a small number were unearthed at the remains of Kara-khoto in the Gansu Corridor.‎

‎Summary This collection of essays examines medieval and early modern drama in the context of a rich and varied manuscript culture. Focusing on the production, performance, and reception of dramatic documents made in Britain between 1400 and 1700, the essays in this book shed new light on the role of dramatic manuscripts in a range of different social and literary spheres. From extant manuscripts of England's mystery cycles to miscellanies kept by seventeenth-century readers, the documents discussed in this volume reflect a culture of producing and using drama in ways that have been overlooked by the recent critical focus on drama and print by theatre historians and literary critics. By showing the various continuities, exchanges, lendings, and borrowings between medieval and early modern scribal practices, as well as between manuscript and print practices, this volume interrogates accepted critical narratives about the way that drama has been historicized.

‎Notam superponere studui. The Use of Annotation Symbols in the Early Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, 301 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:15 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503581705.‎

‎Summary Early medieval manuscripts were commonly annotated not only by glosses but also by annotation symbols. These graphic signs inserted in manuscript margins provided manuscript text with layers of additional meaning and functionality. From the most common signs marking biblical quotations and passages of interest to the sophisticated systems of signs used by some of the early medieval scholars, annotation symbols represent perhaps the most common form of marginalia encountered in early medieval books. Yet, their non-verbal character proved a serious obstacle to their understanding and appreciation. This book represents the first systematic study of annotation symbols used in the Latin West between c. 400 and c. 900. Combining paleographic evidence with the evidence of written sources such as late antique and early medieval lists of signs, this book identifies the most important communities of sign users and conventions in use in the early Middle Ages. It explores some of the notable differences between regions, periods, linguistic communities and classes of users and reconstructs a fascinating history of the practice of using signs, rather than words, to annotate text. Those who work with early medieval manuscripts will, furthermore, find this book to be a practical handbook of the most common annotation symbols attested in early medieval Western manuscripts or discussed in ancient and medieval sources. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1. The use of annotation symbols in Antiquity Chapter 2. The 21-sign treatise: inherited classical doxa in the early medieval Latin West Chapter 3. Transmission of other doxa with ancient roots in the Early Middle Ages Chapter 4. The revival of scholarly sign use in the Carolingian period Chapter 5. Annotation symbols in the Carolingian classroom Chapter 6. Signs used by Western scribes from Late Antiquity until the ninth century Conclusion Appendix I: Overview of the most important annotation symbols Appendix II: Latin sign treatises from the eighth to fifteenth century Appendix III: Annotation symbols in Bavarian manuscripts Bibliography Index of manuscripts Index of authors and texts annotated with signs Index of notable sign users‎

‎Summary Le manuscrit Montecassino, Archivio dell'Abbazia 318 est l'un des t moins les plus extraordinaires de la th orie musicale avant 1100. Copi par une main b n ventaine dans le troisi me quart du XIe si cle et enti rement glos , il est organis en deux sections, chacune se terminant par un tonaire (une liste d'incipits musicaux class s par mode). Le second tonaire rend compte d'un usage local dont il est le seul t moin subsistant. C'est le cas de plusieurs autres textes de ce volume. S'il s'agit d'un t moin bien connu des musicologues, il n'avait jamais t tudi dans sa globalit . Certains de ses contenus, comme les gloses lexicographiques et les contenus cosmologiques, restaient ignor s. Parmi eux, une mappemonde jamais r pertori e et la plus ancienne copie d'un chapitre du Liber Nemrod sur les abysses. C'est la raison pour laquelle ce volume collectif recueille des tudes approfondies sur les multiples aspects du manuscrit, croisant les points de vue des sp cialistes de la musique qui se sont d j illustr s dans son tude, mais aussi les regards neufs d'autres experts de la philologie, de l'histoire culturelle, de la liturgie et de la cosmologie, en conjuguant leurs comp tences. Le volume s'articule autour de cinq points principaux : I. Le manuscrit et son contexte, II. L'h ritage d'une tradition scientifique ancienne, III. La th orie musicale, IV. Les aspects liturgiques, V. Les aspects techniques. Il comprend en outre l' dition de plusieurs des textes pr sents dans le manuscrit, dont les deux tonaires.

‎Zu den teuersten Erzeugnissen der Pariser Buchproduktion im zweiten Viertel des 14. Jahrhunderts geh ren vier gro formatige Legendare, die der Buchh ndler Thomas de Maubeuge bei den Buchmalern der Rue neuve Nostre Dame f r den franz sischen K nig Karl IV. und sein Umfeld illustrieren lie . Ausgehend von den Herstellungsbedingungen des Entstehungskontextes wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Bedeutung und Funktion der meist stereotypen und formelhaften Miniaturen im Gesamtgef ge der Handschriften untersucht. Vor dem Hintergrund der Tradition franz sischer Legendare und der Legenda aurea werden die Gestaltungsstrategien herausgearbeitet, die den Akteuren eine inhaltliche Ausrichtung der Codices erlauben und die Rezeptionshaltung der Benutzer subtil steuern. Die untersuchten Handschriften unterliegen dabei einer je eigenen Disposition, in der sich die W nsche einzelner Auftraggeber mit dem Ringen um eine zeitgem e Form f r die Buchtgattung Legendar vereinen. Neben den Transformationen, die die Gattung im 13. und fr hen 14. Jahrhundert erf hrt, spiegelt sich hierin die buchhistorisch bedeutsame Verschiebung der idealen Lesehaltung von einer monastisch-kontemplativen hin zu einer scholastisch-akademischen lectio. Ein Katalogteil erschlie t 39 hagiographische Handschriften aus der Zeit vor 1350 und ihre Bildfolgen f r die k nftige Forschung.‎
