Abstract:

It is not uncommon for a university to house its special collections library in the “old” library building. The character of the architecture and the connection with the university’s past often fit with the mission of collecting and preserving rare books, manuscripts, and university archives. A beautiful old library can inspire both librarians and researchers. However, it also can be the downfall of the very collections we treasure. Many older libraries now housing rare and valuable special collections materials have out-of-date and inadequate environmental control systems, if they have any at all. The resulting environmental conditions, particularly wide fluctuations in . . .

Abstract:

Latgalian teacher, publicist and cultural history researcher Stepons Seiļs (1909–1979) devoted his whole lifetime to collect cultural facts about Latgale. He was working with a relentless dedication, and, despite the pressure from those in power, he remained loyal to the Latgalian language and supportive of the idea that Latgalian has to be preserved in print. S. Seiļs can be characterized as a man of deep and lasting interest in publishing of Latgalian books and a persistent and zealous collector of cultural heritage. In his home „Kļovi” in Makašāni parish he created an impressive library of Latgalian works with almost complete collection of books, sizable sets of major newspapers, old manuscripts and a large amount of manuscripts and other materials about cultural figures. The National Library of Latvia obtained the first part of archival materials belonging to S. Seiļs in 1974 from the public prosecutor’s office of the Latvian SSR. The Soviet police confiscated printed publications and manuscripts from the home of S. Seiļs „Kļovi” in Rēzekne district during the search and seizure operation of July 1–3, 1974 with the purpose to find anti-Soviet literature. After checking into Seiļs’ materials, the prosecutor’s office decided not to bring any charges against S. Seiļs. The library staff analysed the printed materials and scripts and reached an agreement with S. Seiļs to keep 54 units of manuscripts in its collection and in the Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts, where a personal archive (RXA96) of S. Seiļs would be formed. The library also made microfilms of his returned materials, partially compensating the owner for these writings. The personal archive includes materials on activities of the Central Society of Latgalian Teachers and other cultural organizations. At the same time, 16 copies of microfilms were made of the essays of S. Seiļs and other Latgalian author manuscripts. Taking the sociopolitical situation of the times into account, the library mostly kept periodical publications from the 1920’s and 1930’s that met all the criteria of special collection according to the instructions set by Main Administration for Literary and Publishing Affairs (Glavlit). The remaining publications and manuscripts, including diaries, letters and studies about personalities were taken back to „Kļovi” and returned to the owner. The most of S. Seiļs’ private library was purchased after his death from his heirs. The cultural heritage includes printed matter and an extensive archive of manuscripts. Printings include several of the so-called Latgalian „contrafactions” (books, which were printed during the prohibition of Latin script in Latgale and had counterfeit printing dates on them). These rare specimens were stored in the collection of the Department of Rare Books and Manuscripts. The rest of the books following the principles of collection management were included in the general book collection. Some 254 manuscripts were added to the personal archive of S. Seiļs. Manuscript archive was enriched with some outstanding printed masterpieces of the period of ban on printing, as well as creative materials of S. Seiļs and other authors, and a wide range of correspondence. Information about eminent people of Latgalian descent, put together in the „cases” became available to readers. It includes the information on every notable person of Latgalian descent or those connected to Latgalian culture in the 20th century. His collection can reasonably be regarded as the archive of Latgalian people. In 2000, the library received 13 folders with deposited materials from Pēteris Seiļs, the son of S. Seiļs. Currently, the personal archive of S. Seiļs holds 339 manuscripts. These materials provide a rich source of information for researchers and those, who are interested in Latgalian history.

Abstract:

Palm leaf manuscripts are one of the vital types of documents containing the indigenous knowledge of Sri Lanka. Treated and seasoned Palmyra leaf was widely used for writing before paper was utilized as writing material. Ancient people were not hesitant to write down their wealth of local knowledge in these palm leaf manuscripts. Today, there is a threat of extinction for the palm leaf manuscripts. The Library, University of Sri Jayewardenepura has launched a project on the Preservation and Conservation of Palm leaf manuscripts to address this issue. This gigantic task is important in preserving indigenous knowledge for future generations. The project began by collecting and physically conserving the palm leaf manuscripts scattered throughout Sri Lanka. In parallel to the project, we established the Preservation and Conservation unit at the library, intending to preserve rare books in addition to the palm leaf manuscripts. We applied established conservation methods according to the defect type found in manuscripts. After conservation, preservation techniques that suit the local environmental conditions were used. Finally, we digitized the complete set of manuscripts where researchers are allowed to use them according to the established policy.

Abstract:

The journal approaches something of a milestone with this issue. The current iteration of ACRL’s professional journal of special collections librarianship practice began publication as Rare Books and Manuscripts Librarianship in 1986. When I was in library school a few years later, the only access points to content in the field was the library’s local card catalogue and the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) index. For those of you competent, working professionals young enough to be my children, research was a matter of looking through print volumes—print, mind you—of annual issue after annual issue for citations appearing under index terms, then pulling the bound volumes from the shelves on another floor. The current title RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage was adopted upon acquiring and moving to a digital platform in 2000. Since that time, all ACRL journal content has been available digitally, creating a backfile of material accessible for the asking. In 2014 ALA enacted a platform migration to OJS (Open Journal System) software. RBM content also moved to the OJS platform.

Abstract:

The article elaborates on the basic linguistic features of the Macedonian redaction manuscripts. A survey of the characteristics is presented on different levels: orthographical, phonological, morphological, lexical, and the level of word formation. Linguistic features of these texts can contribute to their more precise localization, indicating that the manuscripts analyzed here are related to the wide zone of southern and western Macedonian dialects, a wider area in which the activities of the Ohrid Literary School took place. The lexicon of the manuscripts, especially the Greek loanwords present, leads to the conclusion that the place of their formation is a Slavic-Greek contact zone. Part of this paper is dedicated to the comparison of rare lexicon and productive word formation models present in a group of Church Slavonic manuscripts of Russian redaction. The comparative analysis of the lexicon and word formation models can help in establishing the corpus of books of the Byzantine rite that were created in the period of activity of Cyrillo-Methodian disciples, under the leadership of Clement of Ohrid. It is obvious that part of that corpus was the main liturgical book, the Gospel, and some previous works have verified that the Menaion was also translated in this literary center. Based on the analysis made in this work, it can be noted that the same rare lexicon and word formation models, in many cases verified in the hymnographic works of Clement of Ohrid, characterize the Apostle, Psalter with commentary, Triodion, Euchologium, and Prophetologion, leading to the conclusion that all these books were part of Clement’s corpus.

Abstract:

The article presents the results of studying the collection of rare books and manuscripts of the library of the Yekaterinburg Theological Seminary. The characteristics of the collection and the history of its formation are given. The collection was based on the book fund of the Sverdlovsk Diocesan Administration and books from private donations. The collection of handwritten books includes four copies of the XVI century: the Ostrog Bible and three editions of Andronik Timofeyev Ignorant – Apostle in 1597 and two Octoechos (2nd part) in 1594. There are more than forty editions of the XVII century in the fund: mainly of the Moscow Printing Yard and three “Lithuanian” ones – the “disgraced” teaching Gospel by Cyril Tranquillion, 1619; Synopsis by Innokenty Gizel, 1680; Oktoikh of the second half of the XVII century. The earliest manuscript is the Gospel of 1630-1660, compiled in Galicia, with numerous notes of the owner. The XVIII century is mainly represented by Old Believers’ liturgical and reading (“chetyi”) collections of mixed composition. Collections with canons, akathists, and liturgical charters predominate among the manuscripts of the XIX century. Orthodox written tradition of the XIX–XX centuries is represented by educational literature and musical scores. The result of the research will be the preparation of catalogues of handwritten books of the XVII–XX centuries and books of the old printing of the XVI–XVII centuries from the library collection.

Abstract:

A vast quantity of rare music books and manuscripts were lost during the Second World War, and while a substantial number has been rediscovered, many items remain untraced. In some cases the only information we have about such losses is found in early music catalogues. One library with invaluable information of this kind is the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Hamburg (in 1919 the library's name was changed from ‘Stadtbibliothek’ to ‘Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek’, and in 1983 it acquired its present name ‘Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky‘). The full extent of the Hamburg Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek's music losses has yet to be revealed in print, and it is in respect of a small component of these losses, namely, its music manuscripts, that I am concerned here.

Abstract:

The speakers for “Rare and Special Bytes: Special Collections in the Digital Age,” the 2008 Rare Books and Manuscripts Section Preconference, presented an exceptional array of ideas and opportunities for our profession to consider as we confront the challenges of the digital age. The sands are shifting under our feet on an almost daily basis. How to keep up and make the best decisions going forward? Are there any basic principles to guide us toward the most productive responses and actions? In this paper I propose ten principles. I freely admit that “principles” is too grand a word—perhaps they’re . . .

Abstract:

Rare books, manuscripts, early ephemera, photographs, film—everything rare, scarce, hard to find, and perhaps even harder to preserve—is this the final frontier, or are we rehashing the same questions that have been around since the hand-press days: what to collect, the cost of materials to buy and preserve, and how to get people into and using special collection libraries? Do we view the material itself as the treasure or spend our time figuring out how to create and then use new technology to legitimize and even promote our own positions? Are library positions so narrowly focused that any . . .

Abstract:

In Daniel Traister's well-known article, “Is There a Future for Special Collections? And Should There Be? A Polemical Essay,”1 he states that his intention is “to propose that reconsideration of some of the essential assumptions our field operates with is overdue.” Some, he writes, will find his remarks “offensive or disagreeable”; others will say that he has nothing to complain about, that the changes he proposes have long been in practice. In brief, Traister argues that rare book librarians—in their zeal to preserve their rare books, manuscripts, and other special materials—have sacrificed access to collections and convenience to . . .

Abstract:

In the beginning, the pen was the primary instrument available for making a copy of a book or document. Then, about a hundred and fifty years ago photography began to be used, and our learned predecessors could investigate facsimiles of codices from distant collections. Not too many decades ago, microfilm was invented, which enabled the mass archiving of written culture. In recent years, the technological innovation of digital imaging has yet again changed how we archive and make available copies of books and documents. Because they are often rare and fragile, many manuscripts and early printed books are not readily . . .

Abstract:

The British Library holds one of 65 existing copies of the first dated book printed in Muscovy by Ivan Fedorov and Petr Mstislavets, the Apostol (Acts and Epistles) (1564) and one of two known copies of Ivan Fedorov’s Primer (L’viv, 1574), which is considered by many to be the first Cyrillic book printed in Ukraine. The recent history of these books is linked to the name of the legendary Russian art critic and impresario Serge Diaghilev (1872–1929). Both titles belonged to his private book collection. A story of Diaghilev’s collection became part of the history of the British Library when in 1975 it acquired, among other books and manuscripts, his copy of the famous 1564 Apostol. Diaghilev’s copy of the 1574 Primer resurfaced at Harvard University Library, but its detailed descriptions and facsimile editions helped the British Library curator Christine Thomas, then in charge of the Russian collections, to identify a second copy, which is now held at the British Library. This article tells the story of how over 70 titles from Diaghilev’s collection of rare Russian books and manuscripts were acquired by the British Library, examines possible reasons for Diaghilev’s passion for books, and highlights other themes relevant for the history of private and public book collecting.

Abstract:

AbstractKoran manuscripts that fit comfortably within the palm of one’s hand are known as early as the 10th century CE.For the sake of convenience, all dates will be given in the common era (CE) without further mention, and not in the Islamic or Hijra calendar. Their minute and sometimes barely legible script is clearly not intended for comfortable reading. Instead, recent scholarship suggests that the manuscripts were designed to be worn on the body like pendants or fastened to military flag poles. This is corroborated by some preserved cases for these books which feature lugs to attach a cord or chain, but also their rare occurrence in contemporary textual sources. While pendant Korans in rectangular codex form exist, the majority were produced as codices in the shape of an octagonal prism, and others as scrolls that could be rolled up into a cylindrical form. Both resemble the shapes of similarly dated and pre-Islamic amulets or amulet cases. Building on recent scholarship, I will argue in this article that miniature or pendant Koran manuscripts were produced in similar forms and sizes because of comparable modes of usage, but not necessarily by a deliberate imitation of their amuletic ‘predecessors’. The manuscripts’ main functions did not require them to be read or even opened; some of their cases were in fact riveted shut. Accordingly, the haptic feedback they gave to their owners when they carried or touched them was not one of regular books but one of solid objects (like amulets) or even jewellery, which then reinforced this practice.

Ahmed-Zaki Walidi and the Department of Rare Books of the Scientific Library of the Ufa Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Based on the study and analysis of these sources, introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, it was possible to identify the nature, process, and features of the spread and development of Sufism in Bashkortostan. The variety of Sufi handwritten works in the collections of Ufa city and their wide chronological framework, represented by the Late Middle Ages and the period of Modern times, indicate the demand for these historical and cultural monuments among the Muslim population of the region in the pre-revolutionary period.

Abstract:

This paper share experiences of th South African Conservation Technical Team of the Timbuktu Rare Manuscripts Project in the conservation and preservation of manuscripts in Timbuktu. A manuscript is always more than just its textual information – it is a living historical entity and its study a complex web of interrelated factors: the origins, production (that is, materials, formats, script, typography, and illustration), content, use and role of books in culture, educated and society in general. The widespread availability of paper made it easier to produce these manuscripts as some of the important vehicles for transmitting of knowledge in Islamic society. Islamic written culture, particularly during the time of the European middle ages was by all accounts incomparably more brilliant than anything known in contemporary Europe. The time for studying the African manuscript tradition has never been more appropriate given the recent renewed calls for the need to reappraise African history and achievements. It must be acknowledged, however, that the study of African manuscript heritage will not be without difficulty.
