‎Les articles rassembles dans ce volume ont tous trait aux manuscrits. On y retrouve la preoccupation constante du Pere Boyle d'etudier le codex comme un ensemble et de l'analyser sous divers angles permettant de mieux reconstituer l'histoire du livre medieval. Il utitlise toutes les ressources de la paleographie, de la codicologie, de l'histoire du texte et de sa decoration pour retrouver les traces du milieu d'origine et les indications necessaires pour identifier l'auteur de(s) oeuvre(s) et pour situer les differentes etapes de composition du manuscrit. Le livre medieval est considere comme un objet archeologique qu'il faut etudier dans son ensemble pour retracer son histoire. En lisant les etudes que le Pere Boyle nous livre, on se rend compte que la recherche interdisciplinaire est indispensable pour aborder l'examen d'un codex. Tous les details, meme insignifiants a premiere vue, peuvent apporter un eclairage important. Si la paleographie et l'histoire de l'ecriture latine sont au centre des preoccupations de l'auteur, il entend les resituer dans leur milieu d'origine. Et c'est ainsi qu'il en arrive au concept de "paleographie integrale". Tout chercheur engage dans l'etude d'un manuscrit ou dans l'edition critique d'un texte devrait lire les reflexions methodologiques faites par le Pere Boyle, avant d'entreprendre son travail. Les divers exemples qu'il donne pourront servir de modele a des recherches ulterieures. Tant les philologues que les paleographes, les codicologues que les historiens de l'art trouveront leur bien dans les articles qui ont ete reunis. Apres les avoir lus, ils ne regarderont plus de la meme maniere les manuscrits qu'ils etudient. Puisse cette notion de "paleographie integrale" ouvrir des horizons nouveaux aux recherches futures et faire entrevoir aux specialistes des textes la richesse d'une telle approche. Ce serait certainement le voeu le plus cher de l'auteur de ces articles.‎

‎The mystery of writing is that there is nothing mysterious about it. If Saramago is right, then it is obvious that palaeography has not yet found all the keys we need if we are to enter amongst the people who gave form to the thoughts and memories of the medieval world. In order to reveal their identity ? the greatest mystery of all ? it is sometimes necessary to pass over what has already been written, affirmed and maintained, and to return to the sources instead. The ?Memoriali? conserved in the Archivio di Stato in Bologna reveal stories of men and women who created, with pen and quill veritable cathedrals of ink, indelible and sometimes of ineffable beauty. In this volume the names are collected, the commissions listed, where possible the careers and tribulations described of more than 270 copyists documented at Bologna between 1265 and 1270. In short, it is the documentary sources, not the works produced or such as have survived, on which the present book has been based.‎

‎Autant que sa legende, qui traverse, hante ou fascine plusieurs histoires, l?oeuvre d?Abu al-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ru?d (1126-1198) est d?une singuliere richesse. Juridique, medicale, theologique ou philosophique, sous forme de traites ou de commentaires, elle est batie d?emblee sur divers pans, en verite peu etanches, et sans doute, pour certains, opiniatrement repris par leur auteur. Elle est en outre solidaire de son legs et de sa propagation, puisque son sort, comme on sait, sera de circuler aussi bien en hebreu qu?en latin entre differentes aires geographiques et culturelles : souvent mutilee, deformee, mais sauvee aussi, tantot forte de sa clarte exegetique, ouverte a un destin de manuel, tantot honnie, ou assumee, pour la puissance de scandale ou la radicalite qu?on y decelait. L?objet du colloque fut d?etudier certains elements cruciaux de cette pensee coherente, mais dynamique, multiforme et accidentee, et de retracer quelques etapes de la Rezeptionsgeschichte de l?oeuvre du Commentateur chez les docteurs juifs et latins.‎

‎ducs d'Arenberg et la musique au XVIIIe siecle. Histoire d'une collection musicale‎

‎Le present ouvrage, richement illustre, propose une etude approfondie de la collection musicale des ducs d'Arenberg, qui fait aujourd?hui partie integrante des archives privees familiales conservees a Enghien (Belgique). Cet ensemble exceptionnel de manuscrits et d?imprimes, en provenance de toute l?Europe, s?est constitue des la fin du XVIIe siecle et tout au long du XVIIIe siecle. Son analyse offre l?opportunite rare de pouvoir mettre au jour des sources musicales inconnues des repertoires baroque et classique, de reconstituer l?histoire de leur presence dans la collection et, au-dela, de mettre en evidence la place que la musique occupa au XVIIIe siecle dans une famille aristocratique particulierement influente dans les territoires de la future Belgique. Une introduction retrace les grandes etapes de l?histoire de la famille d?Arenberg et de sa bibliotheque familiale. Trois chapitres traitent ensuite des ducs Leopold-Philippe (1690-1754), Charles-Marie-Raymond (1721-1778) et Louis-Engelbert (1750-1820) d?Arenberg. Dans la foulee de concerts, de representations d?operas mais aussi de contacts privilegies tisses avec des musiciens, ceux-ci font l?acquisition de plusieurs centaines de manuscrits et d?imprimes ou les noms de Lully, Haendel, Pergolesi, Paisiello, Gretry, Mozart ou Haydn cotoient ceux de personnalites musicales oubliees. Les identifications qui ont ete effectuees mettent en evidence le caractere unique de nombreuses pages musicales de la collection, notamment celles proposant deux arias inconnues de L?inganno trionfante in amore de Vivaldi. Les sources et documents les plus significatifs sont reproduits dans l?ouvrage.‎

‎Manuscripts of the 'Evangelium Nicodemi', A Census.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1994 Hardcover. 292 p., 165 x 245 mm, Languages: English, Including an index. Fine copy. ISBN 9780888443700.‎

‎The so-called Evangelium Nicodmi (EN), a fifth-century apocryphal passion narrative, showed remarkable vitality throughout the Middle Ages and by the close of the period established itself as one of the most influential religious texts, its authority approaching - though not often attaining - that of the canonical gospels. The importance of the EN for the religious culture of the Middle Ages has long been recognized, yet its scope and vicissitudes, its gradual evolution and transmission, have occasioned but a few tentative explorations. The reason for this paucity of detailed studies and for the continued absence of a comprehensive edition of the EN lies in the circumstances that make them all the more desirable - the apocryphon's enormous popularity in the Middle Ages and, as a natural corollary, the daunting abundance of extant manuscripts. Manuscripts of the Evangelium Nicodemi offers the first comprehensive listing of all known Latin manuscripts of the apocryphon. Descriptions of individual manuscripts provide information about the coodices (writing material, number of folios, size, date, place of origin, scribes, owners, contents) and about the texts those codices contain (incipits and explicit of the texts that make up the Evangelium). A series of five analytical and interpretative indexes serves as a guide to the composition of the Evangelium and its satellites, to the chronology of the manuscripts, to their contents, and to persons and places connected with them. The information gathered in this volume may be of assistance in studying the sources of vernacular translations of the Evangelium, patterns of its ownership and readership, medieval attitudes towards it, and the dynamics of its textual evolution; in investigating scribal practices of selection and compilation; and in identifying manuscripts of other apocrypha.‎

‎Renaissance Manuscripts: The Sixteenth Century‎

‎This publication is the first comprehensive survey to establish the importance of Renaissance manuscript illumination in the history of sixteenth-century French art. Although illustrated printed books were circulating freely by the beginning of the sixteenth century, patronage of manuscripts became all the more special to the ruling elite, and commissions from the court, aristocratic circles and the higher clergy resulted in a surge of artistic creativity that produced a wide range of outstanding illustrated works from devotional books to translations of classical and humanistic texts. While continuing the tradition of French figurative art, ornamentation became a major element in the style of the period, with frames and borders becoming a significant feature of the aesthetic impact of the illuminated page. One hundred manuscripts have been chosen for this survey to represent the artistic excellence of French book production of the period, as well as to demonstrate the stylistic relationships between artists and between books that may be seen to form distinct groups. Many years of research enabled the author to identify the hands of individual illuminators, both named and anonymous, and to connect these to a particular artistic milieu or regional group. Moreover, not only are the stylistic aspects of the manuscripts analysed, but entirely new information regarding authorship, patronage and historical context are revealed here of hitherto unstudied material. The author, Myra Orth, completed her catalogue and introductory texts shortly before her sad death some years ago. Since that time, a number of scholars ? specialists in French manuscripts studies of the period ? have helped to update the literature that has more recently appeared relating to the manuscripts catalogued and to the individual artists and workshops discussed. Present locations of manuscripts that may have changed ownership since Dr Orth?s submission of her work have also been noted. To accompany the detailed catalogue, the publication includes a corpus of 360 illustrations that offers a significant visual conspectus of manuscript illumination of the period. In addition to the introductory text, the author also provides brief biographies of Artists and Scribes, Authors and Translators, and Patrons and Dedicatees Survey of Manuscripts Illuminated in France (HMMSF 4)‎

‎Carnaval des animaux Camille Saint-Saens. Facsimile Edition of the Autograph Manuscript.‎

‎, Brepols Publishers, 2018 Hardcover, 192 pages., 127 colour ill., 300 x 366 mm, ISBN 9782503581224.‎

‎If there is one work, in all of Saint-Saens musical output that supremely captures the disposition so typical of the composer, it is the Carnival of the Animals. The collection De main de maitre showcases the facsimiles of the most prestigious scores of the Music Department of the National Library of France. Camille Saint-Saens? extremely long career as a virtuoso, as a brilliant pianist and organist (no fewer than seventy-six years of concerts) and his daunting catalogue of works (close to six hundred are known) have helped shape the image of him as a tutelary figure, omnipresent in the musical landscape of his time, the uncontested master of French music, showered with honours and glory, yet the champion of what was, in the young 20th century, an outmoded aesthetic. Such an image ignores, however, that from the outset of his career, at the end of the 1850s, until the 1890s, Saint-Saens was, on the contrary, regarded in the artistic world as an agitator, as a propagator of new ideas and as an intermediary between French and Germanic cultures. Republican from his earliest days, he was a major figure in musical life, involved in many concert societies, most notably the Societe nationale de musique, which he founded in 1871. He was also a polemicist, whose quill was much feared and who used the press as his vehicle of choice, to disseminate his ideas, attract public attention, and conquer new audiences. Similarly, if the image of the ?official? Saint-Saens, at home with the stage and the institutions and their etiquette, has endured, that of the ?intimate? Saint-Saens, known by a faithful few for his sparkling conversation, his sharp humour and taste for puns, has been lost. If there is one work, in all of Saint-Saens? musical output that supremely captures the disposition so typical of the composer, it is the Carnival of the Animals. Dedicated to the autograph manuscript of Camille Saint-Saens? famous Carnival of the Animals (1835-1921), this volume sheds a distinctive light on the musician?s personality. Completed in February 1886, The Carnival of the Animals was created for friends and performers close to Saint-Saens and was performed about fifteen times between 1886 and 1894 to a small audience. Because Camille Saint-Saens feared that his ?zoological fantasy? would damage his reputation, the work was published in its entirety only after his death. Since then, its immense popularity has continued to grow, so much so that it is now enjoyed by music lovers and the general public alike. Presented by Marie-Gabrielle Soret, a specialist of Camille Saint-Saens, who provides a detailed description of the work and the context of its creation, the facsimile includes the fourteen pieces of The Carnival of the Animals. It reveals the composer?s handwriting, all the performance directions as he noted them, but also to the playful animal drawings with which he decorated his score ? a fish for ?Aquarium, the skeleton of a dinosaur for ?Fossiles?, the pale blue pencil silhouette of a swan to illustrate the famous Swan. La collection ? De main de maitre ? presente les fac-similes des partitions les plus prestigieuses du departement de la Musique de la Bibliotheque nationale de France. Dedie au manuscrit autographe du celebre Carnaval des animaux, de Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921), ce volume eclaire la personnalite du musicien sous un jour particulier. Acheve en fevrier 1886, Le Carnaval des animaux fut cree pour des amis et interpretes proches de Saint-Saens et joue a une quinzaine de reprises entre 1886 et 1894 aupres d?un public restreint. Camille Saint-Saens craignant que cette ? fantaisie zoologique ? ne nuise a sa reputation, l?oeuvre ne fut publiee dans son integralite qu?apres la mort du compositeur. Depuis lors, son immense succes n?a cesse de croitre, si bien qu?elle est aujourd?hui appreciee tant par les melomanes que par le grand public. Presente par Marie-Gabrielle Soret, specialiste de Camille Saint-Saens, qui nous livre une description detaillee de l?oeuvre et du contexte de sa creation, le fac-simile comprend les quatorze pieces du Carnaval des animaux. Il permet d'acceder a la graphie du compositeur, a l'ensemble des indications telles qu?il les a notees, mais aussi aux facetieux dessins animaliers dont il emailla sa partition ? un poisson pour ? Aquarium ? , un squelette de dinosaure pour ? Fossiles ? , ou encore la pale silhouette au crayon bleu d'un cygne pour accompagner la celebre piece dediee a cet oiseau. Marie-Gabrielle Soret est conservateur en chef au Departement de la musique a la Bibliotheque nationale de France, responsable de la coordination du traitement des grands fonds d'archives et collections des XIXe et XXe siecles, au Service des collections patrimoniales du Departement de la musique (fonds de compositeurs, interpretes, institutions et societes musicales).‎

‎Haar gebedenboek is een van de grootste Nederlandse kunstschatten van kort na 1400. Het verhaal van haar leven was tot voor kort vrijwel onbekend. Maria, hertogin van Gulik en Gelre en gravin van Zutphen, was een bijzondere vrouw. Ze is geboren in Normandie in 1380 en opgegroeid aan het Franse hof. Jarenlang was ze hofdame van Valentina Visconti, moeder van de beroemde dichter Charles d'Orleans. Die Franse wereld van geleerdheid, schoonheid en zelfverzekerdheid heeft haar gevormd. Ze had smaak, was intelligent en daadkrachtig als bestuurder, wanneer ze daarvoor de ruimte kreeg. Ik, Maria van Gelre. De hertogin en haar uitzonderlijke gebedenboek vertelt voor het eerst het levensverhaal van deze sterke vrouw van 600 jaar geleden, laat de rijke wereld zien waarin zij leefde en biedt de tot nu toe meest uitvoerige kennismaking met haar spectaculaire gebedenboek.‎

‎This book is designed to provide a guide for art historians, conservators and manuscript scholars to understand and support the increasingly popular cross-disciplinary research efforts focused on non-invasive scientific analyses of illuminated manuscripts. The results achieved by the research of the pioneering MINIARE research project based at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge led to the ground-breaking and acclaimed 2016 exhibition "COLOUR: The Art and Science of Illuminated Manuscripts." This was followed by an international Conference, in which art historians, paper and book conservators, and cultural heritage scientists were brought together to share new recent research not only on manuscripts but also on painting in other media. The Conference proceedings were published in the first two volumes of the HMMIMA series (2017-2018). The present publication includes 6 Essays by way of introducing and explaining the major topics being investigated, including the range of inks, pigments and paint binders used by illuminators; parchment-making; pigment recipes; and model books. The many analytical instruments and techniques that are used to investigate manuscripts are also discussed. Then follow 58 Case Studies of manuscripts from as early as the year 700 up to c.1600. All these are fully illustrated in colour and in great detail, and should act as examples to inform scholars in libraries, museums and other cultural institutions of the benefits of adding scientific tools to the range of methods used to investigate manuscripts.‎

‎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.

‎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

‎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.

‎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.

‎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.
