Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The notebooks and papers of Captain Alexander Matheson (c. 1833-1897), a shipowner from Dornie, Kintail, are commonly referred to as the Dornie Manuscripts. The bulk of the collection consists of Gaelic verse and song taken down from the oral recitation of old people in Wester Ross, and composed, for the most-part, by poets native to that area. The main aim of this thesis is to present a representative selection of Gaelic verse from Alexander Matheson’s collection. Sixteen texts have been selected for full editorial treatment, ten of which are not known from any other written source. These texts are presented in a standardised Gaelic orthography, in chronological order, together with appropriate notes and references. Also included are relevant indexes, appendices, and a glossary. A substantial part of the thesis consists of transcripts of all the Gaelic verse from the Dornie Manuscripts, with cross-references to other versions and appropriate notes. An index of the poets featured in the collection is included. The introduction to the thesis contains a brief biography of the collector, a description of non-verse material in the manuscripts, and an account of previous work based on the Dornie Manuscripts.

In the 1930s, Oregon State University received an impressive oversized manuscript, now known as "The Gradual," as part of a large donation of books. Not much was known about this manuscript. It does not have documentation attached from the time of its acquisition, nor had any methodical study been undertaken regarding the manuscript. This thesis examines the OSU Gradual, aiming to provide research tools for the identification of musical manuscripts of unknown or unclear provenance that could be useful to conservators, archivists, and librarians, irrespective of musical training. It is conceived as a "rough guide" for working situations where there is no dedicated manuscript specialist, in particular, a fulltime Latin paleographer or a chant scholar overseeing a massive collection. Instead, its "how-to" nature addresses curators and catalogers managing smaller manuscript collections as generalists, offering an interdisciplinary approach both beneficial and suitable to the aims of this study.

En aquesta tesi de doctorat es duu a terme una edició completa, crítica i actualitzada
dels escolis al cant IX de l’Odissea, incloent tant els escolis considerats menors com els
majors. Aquest cant, juntament amb els tres subsegüents, conforma les anomenades
aventures d’Odisseu, que han atret l’atenció dels estudiosos de l’obra homèrica de tots els
temps.
Per dur a terme aquesta tasca ha calgut analitzar i confrontar sistemàticament les
edicions anteriors que, de manera total o bé parcial, inclouen escolis relatius al cant IX de
l’Odissea i, per un altre costat, fixar el corpus de manuscrits que hi empraríem, el qual s’ha
establert en 37, de tipologies i filiacions genètiques diferents.
Destaca la novetat metodològica de classificar els escolis per tipus en funció del seu
contingut: referits als títols, dedicats a resums argumentals, centrats en aspectes
lexicològics, en aspectes gramaticals, o bé contextuals o mitogràfics. Aquesta classificació,
a més d’ajudar a entendre el contingut de cada escoli, ofereix també una visió interessant
sobre la filiació dels manuscrits.
L’objectiu, per tant, és oferir un corpus de dades que reculli els escolis, les anotacions i
també les correccions significatives del text homèric. En aquest corpus, hi ha continguts de
diversos tipus, des de mites en versions diferents de les tradicionals fins a mots que convé
interpretar, passant per expressions sintàctiques o acotacions morfològiques.This doctoral dissertation intends to provide a complete, critical, and up-to-date edition of the scholia of Book IX of the Odyssey, including both the minor as well as the major scholia. This book, along with the next three, presents the so-called adventures of Ulysses, which have drawn the attention of scholars of Homeric work since early time. To accomplish this task, it has been necessary to analyze and systematically confront the previous editions that either in its totality or partially include scholia related to Book IX of the Odyssey, and at the same time, to establish the corpus of manuscripts we will use, established at 37, which have different genetic typologies and filiations. The methodology novelty of classifying the scholia by types based on their content stands out: referring to titles, dedicated to argumentative summaries, centered on lexicological aspects, on grammatical aspects, or contextualized or mythographic. This classification, besides helping to understand the meaning of each scholium, also offers an interesting vision about the filiation of the manuscripts. The objective, therefore, is to offer a corpus that collects the scholia, annotations, and also the significant corrections of the Homeric text. In this corpus, there are contents of different types, ranging from myths in versions different from the traditional ones to words that need to be interpreted, including syntactic expressions or morphological annotations.

This thesis examines the production of the Middle English poetic manuscript. It analyses the mise-en-page of manuscripts created during a crucial period for book production, immediately after 1400, when there was a sudden explosion in the production of vernacular manuscripts of literary texts, when the demand for books increased, and the commercial book trade swiftly followed. It offers a close analysis of the mise-en-page of the manuscripts of three central authors: Chaucer’s, Gower’s, and Hoccleve’s manuscripts were at the heart of this sudden flourishing and were, crucially, produced when scribal methods for creating the literary page were still unformed. Previous studies have focused on the localised readings produced by single scribes, manuscripts, or authors, offering a limited examination of broader trends. This study offers a wider comparison: where individual studies offer localised analysis, the multi-textuality of this thesis offers broader perceptions of book production and of scribal responses to the new literary texts being produced. In analysing the layout of seventy-six manuscripts, including borders, initials, paraphs, rubrics, running titles, speaker markers, glosses and notes, this thesis argues that scribes were deeply concerned with creating a manuscript page specifically to showcase texts of poetry. The introduction outlines current scholarship on mise-en-page and defines the scribe as one who offers an individual response to the text on the page within the context of the inherited, commercial, and practical practices of layout. The three analytical chapters address the placement of the features of mise-en-page in each of the seventy-six manuscripts, each chapter offering three contrasting manuscript situations. Chapter 1 analyses the manuscripts of Chaucer, who left no plan for the look of his page, causing scribes to make decisions on layout that illuminate fifteenth-century scribal responses to literature. These are then compared to the manuscripts of Gower in Chapter 2, directly or indirectly supervised by the poet, which display rigorous uniformity in their layout. This chapter argues that scribes responded in much the same way, despite the strict control over meaning. Chapter 3 focuses on Hoccleve’s autograph manuscripts which are unique in demonstrating authorial control over layout. This chapter compares the autograph to the non-autograph manuscripts to argue that scribal responses differed from authorial intentions. Each of the three chapters analyses the development of mise-en-page specifically for literary texts. Focussing on the mise-en-page, this thesis is able to compare across a range of texts, manuscripts, scribes, and authors to mount a substantial challenge to current perceptions that poetic manuscripts were laid out in order to assist readers’ understanding of the meaning of the texts they contain. Instead, it argues that though there was a concern with representing the nuances of poetic meaning, often scribal responses to poetry were bound up with presenting poetic form.

Previous issue date: 2005Fonte documental do Brasil setecentista ainda inédita, os “Dialogos Geograficos Chronologicos, Politicos, e naturais, escriptos por Joseph Barbosa de Sáa Nesta Vila Reyal do Senhor Bom Jesus do Cuyaba - Anno de 1769.”, até então depositado no Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro (Rio de Janeiro), constituem um manuscrito com 926 páginas. É dividido por seu autor em duas partes, a primeira constante de 10 capítulos e a segunda de 11. Nesta primeira parte dos Diálogos Geográficos, José Barbosa de Sá aborda os temas concernentes não somente à geografia física, mas também ao continente americano, às raças que povoam e povoaram as Américas, além de explicar como os animais foram trazidos a este continente; a segunda parte é composta de 11 capítulos que tratam principalmente da descrição de animais, plantas e minerais. Neste sentido, elegemos enquanto objeto de análise e estudo nos Diálogos Geográficos, as teorias de seu autor para explicar a ocupação do Novo Mundo pelos seres humanos e animais. Para além da investigação acerca das teorias cosmológicas contidas nos Diálogos Geográficos, procedemos a um levantamento sobre a vida e as obras de José Barbosa de Sá e elaboramos um índice explicativo com os autores por ele citados. Pretende-se assim fornecer subsídios não somente para uma maior compreensão do manuscrito Diálogos Geográficos, mas, principalmente, do Brasil setecentista, palco histórico onde José Barbosa de Sá concebeu sua maior obra.

Ahvensalmi, Juulia Kirsikka. "Reading the manuscript page : the use of supra-textual devices in the Middle English Trotula-manuscripts". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2013. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4628/.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines the use of supra-textual devices in the Trotula, a set of Middle English gynecological and obstetrical medical treatises. Through close examination of the thirteen manuscript versions dating between the early or mid-fifteenth century and the late sixteenth century, this thesis studies the way in which punctuation, layout, colour, marginalia and other visual devices are used to structure and present the texts. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, this thesis examines the ways in which supra-textual devices are used to organise the texts into units of various type and length (major and minor sections, paragraphs,recipes, sense-units, sentences, clauses, phrases), and how the presentation of these units contributes to the reading of the text, showing that,despite the lack of standardised punctuation practices, each manuscript text uses a consistent system of supra-textual devices. Their use is not haphazard, as has previously been asserted; supra-textual devices are used purposefully to structure the texts and to communicate with the reader. The definitions of ‘sentence’ and ‘sense-unit’ in the Middle English context are also discussed, as well as the terminology used to describe medieval punctuation practices. In particular, the often-made binary division between ‘grammatical’ and ‘rhetorical’ punctuation is examined, showing that this division is neither very informative nor useful in practice for describing the systems of supra-textual devices present in medieval English writing. While the majority of the units can be described in terms of ‘sense-units’, the development towards the modern ‘sentence’ can be evinced in the data. This thesis also examines the role that scribes played in adapting and modifying the textual presentation in their exemplars, arguing that scribes played a key role in modifying the appearance of the manuscript texts to suit the needs of their audiences. Emphasising the importance of contextualisation, the final chapter focuses on the pragmatics of supra-textual devices, and how they can contribute to our understanding of the ways in which these texts were read and used by private individuals, professional medical practitioners or textual communities. This thesis argues that the Trotula had a number of different audiences, with varied literacy skills, and the supra-textual devices in the manuscripts suggest a range of reading practices, from private to communal, silent to oral, intensive to extensive. This thesis demonstrates that a close examination of supra-textual devices can bring new insights into Middle English grammar as well as scribal and reading practices.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines diagrams found in English medieval manuscripts dating from the ninth to the fourteenth century. It is based upon a survey of diagrammatic material, the results of which are presented in the catalogue raisonnee (Appendix A). The lack of adequate terms to define diagrams is addressed, as is the lack of a consistent and coherent treatment of diagrams in existing literature. A close critique of diagrams can be an aid in dating manuscripts and tracing textual recensions, and therefore a well-defined yet flexible framework must be established in order to further future research. The catalogue establishes standard types for particular diagrams, which can be used for comparison and identification of examples in manuscripts. The discussion of the thesis is largely structured on a chronological basis, studying the types of diagrams which were in use in three periods; late Antiquity, the Dark Ages, and the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. The main diagrammatic forms which were transmitted from late classical commentaries in medieval manuscripts are analysed in terms of their content and technique. These diagrams are still influenced by Greek learning. Changes and adaptations in these forms and techniques are then observed. The degeneracy of learning in the Dark Ages is characterised by diagrams based on cyclical rather than circular forms. The availability of translations of Greek texts through Arab sources in the twelfth century leads again to precise diagrams which accompany logical textual exposition. Diagrams are finally viewed within the wider context of medieval art. Features of medieval aesthetics are highlighted which make it possible to approach diagrams in the same way as works of art. The importance of geometric structures to artistic composition is increased by the symbolic meanings which are attached to certain shapes and proportions. Pictorial diagrams themselves migrate into wall-paintings and floor-mosaics, and also eventually into literature

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Cette thèse propose de parcourir l’histoire d’un genre littéraire à travers l’analyse de sa production manuscrite. Notre recherche porte ainsi sur la relation entre le texte et le manuscrit, et la problématique à laquelle nous souhaitions apporter quelques éléments de réponse concerne les rapports que l’on peut établir entre une typologie de textes et une typologie de manuscrits. S’il est possible, dans un ensemble de textes varié, d’ébaucher les traits qui distinguent le ‘roman en vers’ des autres productions, la même démarche est-elle transposable aux manuscrits de cette catégorie générique ? En envisageant l’ensemble de la production manuscrite des romans en vers au Moyen Âge, cette étude met en relief des modèles matériels et des typologies de codex pour ce genre littéraire particulier. Les analyses menées dans ce cadre ont par ailleurs contribué à reparcourir l’histoire du genre romanesque et de sa diffusion sous un angle nouveau, ainsi que de mettre en lumière quelques aspects de sa fortune. Les moments charnières de l’évolution du roman en vers sont d’autant plus riches d’enseignements qu’ils ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives de recherche, en particulier concernant la lecture et le mode de réception de ces textes. Parallèlement à l’examen approfondi de cinq aspects de la relation entre le texte et son contexte manuscrit – production des textes, production des manuscrits, dimensions des codices, mise en page et mise en recueil –, la thèse propose un catalogue des romans retenus et un catalogue des manuscrits (entiers ou fragmentaires) contenant un ou plusieurs romans en versThis thesis intends focuses on the history of a literary genre, starting from the study of its manuscript production. The aim of the study is to investigate the relation between the text and the manuscript and the existence of a relation between a typology of text and a typology of manuscript. If it is possible, in a variety of texts can the same be accomplished for the ‘verse romance manuscript’ as well? Research on the entire manuscript production of medieval romans en vers allowed us to trace the material models and codex typologies associated with this genre. It also enabled us to retrace the history of this genre, its diffusion and some aspects of its fortune, also giving us some valuable insights into the copyists’ awareness of their work and their cultural role. The presence of key points is particularly interesting and leads to new research perspectives, especially with respect to the way these texts were read. Together with the study of five aspects of the relationship between the text and its manuscript context (production of texts, production of manuscripts, codices’ dimensions, layout, collection), the thesis includes a catalogue of selected novels and a catalogue of manuscripts – intact or fragmentary – containing novels in verse

Researchers in the field of Swahili studies have noted the need for a comprehensive, detailed catalogue of the Swahili manuscripts at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS, University of London). They have had occasion to make this recommendation in print (see, for example, Omar and Frankl 1994 and Frankl 1999) and - presumably many more times, and to no specified audience - in life, as they pored over unitemised or inaccurately labelled files of eminent scholars in the field. It is precisely this need for a comprehensive, widely accessible catalogue that the Swahili Manuscripts Project at SOAS was established, in October 2001, to address. In this article, the present authors undertake to describe the catalogue being created and to discuss problems they have encountered and observations they have had opportunity to make in the course of their work.

Wang, Jianlan. "Silk facing of ancient Chinese manuscripts". Thesis, Queen's University Belfast, 2014. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.675481.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The thesis has profiled silk facing treatments to manuscripts in the Stein Collection in the British Library, via its unique historical background, compared with the lamination technique that was prevalent in conservation in the last century in libraries and archives. The correction of the previous inappropriate preservation methods might have not aroused enough attentiveness, or critical attention, in the conservation arena. IR and Raman spectroscopy were widely applied in this project, for the characterisation of the different silks removed from the manuscripts, in comparison with new silk from commercial suppliers, revealing the ageing of silk, its fragility and stiffness, which causes mechanical abrasion toward the scrolls of ancient manuscripts. Silk's absorption of moisture, and exposure to light, exacerbate this problem. The characterisation of a series of vegetable and animal derived glues emphasises the poor record-keeping of the conservation studios. The non-native and pipeline-processed starches show almost the same pattern in both IR and Raman spectroscopy. Animal glues also show different patterns from the starch-based glues in both IR and Raman spectroscopy. The problems of applying gelatine-base glue in the conservation process are also discussed. The dye-transfer phenomenon has been confirmed: the yellow dye from the manuscripts (which were dyed by water-soluble huangbo extracts) transfer to the glue paste and then to the silk materials, thus causing the discolouration of the manuscripts. Finally, solid-state NMR characterisation with magic angle spinning was used to characterise the silks and glue pastes. The SEM and EDAX study provided the evidence for the existence of fungi and/or bacteria on the glues al1ached to the manuscripts, data being provided from a strong collaboration with Dr. Cristina Silva Pereira from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. Preliminary studies have confirmed that the silk and glue carry Aspergillus niger, Neurospora crass a and Penicillium chrysogenum. This observation provides unimpeachable evidence that long-term damage will occur to the faced manuscripts if the facing is not removed. Currently, the desire for digitisation of manuscripts in the Stein collection in the British Library also enhances the case for the removal of the silk facing materials. The sill<, glue, water and dye, compose a complicated matrix which influence the lifetime and stability of the manuscripts by interaction with the external environment, thus it is believed that the removal the silk facing materials is reasonable, and should be performed if economically viable

Writing is much like any other activity-the more you read and write, the more proficient you become as a scientist. Here, I provide canons for writing and editing scientific papers that should help novice writers avoid common hazards that could render a manuscript unpublishable. Abstracts should be well-written and concise and contain all the major results and conclusions. The manuscript should be well organized. Sentences in all paragraphs should stick to the central theme of the paragraph. Writers should provide Latin names for species analyzed, and should use SI units in all cases. The use of bulleted lists, active voice, and commas after introductory phrases will improve the clarity of the manuscript. Tables and figures should be clear, well-organized, stand-alone accessories to the text, and usually convey data and results that are numerous or complex. Writers should avoid both plagiarism and self-plagiarism, and should have their manuscript proofread before submitting to a journal. Finally, authors should consult primary references (such as Scientific Style and Format, published by the Council of Biology Editors in 1994) to become familiar with troublesome words and phrases.

O objetivo desta dissertação é oferecer uma fixação crítica do texto do Sumario das Armadas (ca. 1589), crônica jesuítica do século XVI que narra as guerras de conquista do território da Paraíba, a partir de um estudo crítico das suas variantes. O manuscrito autógrafo se perdeu, e atualmente se conhecem três apógrafos que contêm variantes da crônica, todos eles salvaguardados em instituições portuguesas: o manuscrito da Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, o manuscrito da Biblioteca Pública de Évora e o testemunho da Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, testemunho que se encontra no códice intitulado Historia da Capitania da Paraiba. A fim de se realizar a fixação do texto do Sumario das Armadas (ca. 1589), as variantes foram transcritas e comparadas uma a uma. E, a partir das comparações, optou-se por se estabelecer a fixação, tomando por base o testemunho existente no códice da Historia da Capitania da Paraiba. Não se trata, portanto, de um trabalho de crítica histórica dos eventos narrados, mas do estabelecimento e estudo de um texto compreensão da sua circulação, da possível autoria e data de redação. Na primeira parte encontra-se o estudo introdutório e na segunda parte estão as regras de transcrição e o texto fixado, com notas que registram as diferenças referentes às outras duas variantes.The purpose of this work is to offer a single manuscript edition of the Sumario das Armadas (ca. 1589) text, a Jesuit chronicle written on the sixteenth century which describes the conquest Paraibas territory, based on a critical study of its textual variants. The autograph manuscript has been lost, and three apographs are known nowadays that contain variants of the chronicle, all safeguarded in Portuguese institutions: the manuscript of the National Library of Portugal, the manuscript of the Public Library of Évora and the testimony of the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, which codex is titled Historia da Capitania da Paraiba. In order to provide a single manuscript edition of the Sumario das Armadas (ca. 1589), the variants were transcribed and compared one by one. From this process the textual differences were established which analysis indicated the best testemony is the one found in the codex Historia da Capitania da Paraiba. It is not, therefore, a work of historical criticism of the events narrated, but the single manuscript edition and study of a text, the understanding of its circulation, of the possible authorship and date of writing. In the first part of work there is the introductory study and in the second part there are the rules of transcription and the single manuscript edition, along the notes that reremark the differences referring to the other two variants.

Maclean, Anne M. "The acquisition of literary papers in Canada". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1987. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/26050.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
During the past thirty years Canadian literature has developed at a remarkable rate, with the result that many Canadian writers now enjoy national and international recognition. The personal papers of these writers have undergone a corresponding increase in their research and monetary value. Literary papers have therefore become highly attractive to archival repositories and libraries, many of which compete to acquire these papers through sales or donations. Open-market competition may be advantageous to authors because it allows them to sell their papers to the highest bidder, but it is harmful to archivists because it creates animosity within the archival community, inflates prices and causes collections to be split. This clash of interests between authors and archivists, and among archivists themselves, must be resolved if literary papers are to be preserved and administered properly.
A questionnaire was sent to 29 Canadian repositories to determine the ways in which archivists deal with the complex issues associated with acquiring literary papers: acquisition policies; acquisition budgets; the suitability of certain types of institutions to acquire literary papers; copyright/literary rights; tax credits; monetary appraisal; and automation. Results from this survey indicate that an increasing number of archival institutions now recognize the need for developing systematic collections policies in order to reduce competition and encourage cooperation among archivists. However, the majority of institutions in Canada still do not have any formal written policies for acquiring literary papers and have no plans to develop such policies in the near future. It will be some time, therefore, before a complete cooperative network among archivists in Canada becomes a reality.
Diverse types of institutions acquire literary papers; university archives and special collections, provincial archives, the National Archives and National Library of Canada, and smaller thematic archives are all involved in this type of acquisition. The survey sought respondents' opinions on this question: can or should the acquisition of literary papers be limited to certain types of institutions? Judging from the responses, the answer is a qualified no. Universities are a logical repository for authors' papers because literary research is largely an academic activity, but it is not possible to prevent other types of institutions from acquiring in this area through laws or regulations. Donor preferences play a critical role; ultimately it is the author or his executors who have the last word on where the author's papers are deposited.
The author-archivist relationship lies at the heart of this issue. The onus is on the archivist to educate authors on the nature and function of archives and the legal implications of acquisition. Archivists can also educate themselves regarding authors' economic concerns and the literary activities which produce their records; such understanding will help to resolve the conflicts between authors and archivists and improve acquisition negotiations. Finally, archivists need to develop more systematic written acquisitions policies for literary papers in order to reduce competition and ensure the continued preservation of this important cultural resource.Arts, Faculty of

Byzantine religious manuscripts were commissioned by people from many levels of society. Several contain portraits of their commissioners, represented together with a holy figure. An analysis of these scenes, examining features such as the holy figures represented and their specific iconographic meaning, and the relation of mortal to divine, reveals many facets of Byzantine art, religion and society. This analysis indicates a major distinction between portraits representing the emperor, and those depicting all other patrons. Non-imperial portraits show deep personal devotion and piety. The manuscripts in which they occur were commissioned to honour the holy figure, and many request salvation in return. Imperial commissions, on the other hand, were not votive gifts. Their portraits stress the public, political, and occasionally religious role of the emperor as the elected of God upon earth, and head of state. These portraits are thus highly informative of several aspects of Byzantine life.

This thesis examines the sustainability of fifteenth-century manuscripts. It analyses the durability of manuscripts, and the ways in which people recycled and reused their books. During the long fifteenth-century (here, 1375-1530), book production in England flourished, driven by increased demand for books. Yet while the fast-developing commercial book trade produced new books in great quantity, significantly, older books were also sustained, recycled and reused. Although there is awareness within medieval scholarship of recycled manuscript components, such as flyleaves, no sustained study has yet been undertaken into recycled and reused materials in fifteenth-century manuscripts, or into book production's practices and processes of reuse. In addition, previous book history studies of recycling have focused on the book material reuse that followed the Dissolution. By contrast, this study offers a broader exploration of sustainable practices in fifteenth-century manuscript culture, as well as in-depth analysis of manuscript examples, to argue that book producers made and reused books in sustainable ways. The introduction outlines key concepts and relevant scholarship, such as studies that follow the material turn, and ecocriticism. The four chapters that follow address sustainability from different angles, focusing primarily on the evidence both in and written on books themselves. Chapter 1 explores the craftsmanship of parchment- making through contemporary recipes and physical evidence in manuscripts. Chapter 2 presents case studies of parchment reused sustainably in books, as off-cuts, quire guards, flyleaves, pastedowns, limp covers, and palimpsests. Chapter 3 surveys spaces reclaimed in books for opportunistic mark-making, in the form of doodles, jottings, and short verses. Chapter 4 presents three surveys of second-hand books and the inscriptions written onto their leaves. A conclusion draws together the findings. This thesis augments and nuances current scholarship by arguing that fifteenth-century reuse and recycling of book materials were customary aspects of book production and symptomatic of more widespread sustainability in manuscript culture.

This thesis describes and accounts for certain innovative scribal practices in Irish and Anglo-Saxon manuscripts of the seventh to ninth centuries, seeing these as both graphic and linguistic phenomena. Part One deals with the linguistic context in which the scribes were working, examining the general role of grammar during the period and those aspects of grammatical teaching which would most concern the scribe. The presence of Latin as a non-vernacular Church language in Ireland and Anglo- Saxon England resulted in a dependence on and enthusiasm for the study of Latin grammar, and innovations in scribal practice must be seen in the context of this special linguistic environment. Irish grammarians understood their own language in terms of syntactic groups rather than distinct parts of speech: this and other differences between Irish and Latin may have encouraged the practices of separation (and abbreviation) in the copying of Latin, as a means of making the latter easier to read. The traditional teaching of the Latin grammarians on the eight parts of speech was especially popular with Insular grammarians, and this analysis underlies the practice of word separation, but a lack of explicit teaching on word boundaries accounts for the characteristic 'errors' of Insular separation. Part Two examines the practices of word separation and abbreviation as displayed in early Insular manuscripts. The physical and the linguistic aspects of word separation are considered, and the early development of the practice is described. Standard patterns of separation are seen to reflect Latin morphological teaching. The practice of heavy abbreviation, although modified by various non-linguistic factors such as type of script or the intended function of a book, is basically an orthographical convention which, like the adoption of word separation, brings into the alphabetic system an ideogrammatic element which is symptomatic of a tendency to view Latin primarily as a graphical means of communication.

This thesis examines a cultural revolution that took place in the Icelandic artistic landscape during the medieval period. Within just one generation (c. 1350–1400), the house of canons regular of Helgafell rose to become the most important centre of illuminated manuscript production in western Iceland. This study delivers a comprehensive and critical multidisciplinary study that combines methodologies and sources from the fields of Art History, Old Norse-Icelandic Manuscript Studies and Medieval Nordic History. It maps important changes in the art historical market, as well as major movements of ideas between three distinct manuscript cultures: from Helgafell in Iceland, Norwich and surrounding East Anglia in England, and the region between Bergen and Trondheim in Western Norway. By conducting cross-disciplinary research, the philological and historical data, combined with a sound social network analysis methodology, this study presents a comprehensive approach that respects both the historical setting of the illuminated manuscript production and the products themselves. It thereby contributes to a new and multidisciplinary area of research that studies not only one but several western European cultures in relation to similar domestic artistic monuments and relevant historical evidence. By using the interdisciplinary approach outlined above, it offers a detailed perspective of one cultural site – Helgafell – in particular in regard to its artistic connections to other ecclesiastical and secular scriptoria in the broader North Atlantic region.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Les collections de manuscrits sur feuilles de palmier sont devenues une partie intégrante de la culture et de la vie des peuples de l'Asie du Sud-Est. Avec l’augmentation des projets de numérisation des documents patrimoniaux à travers le monde, les collections de manuscrits sur feuilles de palmier ont finalement attiré l'attention des chercheurs en analyse d'images de documents (AID). Les travaux de recherche menés dans le cadre de cette thèse ont porté sur les manuscrits d'Indonésie, et en particulier sur les manuscrits de Bali. Nos travaux visent à proposer des méthodes d’analyse pour les manuscrits sur feuilles de palmier. En effet, ces collections offrent de nouveaux défis car elles utilisent, d’une part, un support spécifique : les feuilles de palmier, et d’autre part, un langage et un script qui n'ont jamais été analysés auparavant. Prenant en compte, le contexte et les conditions de stockage des collections de manuscrits sur feuilles de palmier à Bali, nos travaux ont pour objectif d’apporter une valeur ajoutée aux manuscrits numérisés en développant des outils pour analyser, translittérer et indexer le contenu des manuscrits sur feuilles de palmier. Ces systèmes rendront ces manuscrits plus accessibles, lisibles et compréhensibles à un public plus large ainsi que pour les chercheurs et les étudiants du monde entier. Cette thèse a permis de développer un système d’AID pour les images de documents sur feuilles de palmier, comprenant plusieurs tâches de traitement d'images : numérisation du document, construction de la vérité terrain, binarisation, segmentation des lignes de texte et des glyphes, la reconnaissance des glyphes et des mots, translittération et l’indexation de document. Nous avons ainsi créé le premier corpus et jeu de données de manuscrits balinais sur feuilles de palmier. Ce corpus est actuellement disponible pour les chercheurs en AID. Nous avons également développé un système de reconnaissance des glyphes et un système de translittération automatique des manuscrits balinais. Cette thèse propose un schéma complet de reconnaissance de glyphes spatialement catégorisé pour la translittération des manuscrits balinais sur feuilles de palmier. Le schéma proposé comprend six tâches : la segmentation de lignes de texte et de glyphes, un processus de classification de glyphes, la détection de la position spatiale pour la catégorisation des glyphes, une reconnaissance globale et catégorisée des glyphes, la sélection des glyphes et la translittération basée sur des règles phonologiques. La translittération automatique de l'écriture balinaise nécessite de mettre en œuvre des mécanismes de représentation des connaissances et des règles phonologiques. Nous proposons un système de translittération sans segmentation basée sur la méthode LSTM. Celui-ci a été testé sur des données réelles et synthétiques. Il comprend un schéma d'apprentissage à deux niveaux pouvant s’appliquer au niveau du mot et au niveau de la ligne de texteThe collection of palm leaf manuscripts is an important part of Southeast Asian people’s culture and life. Following the increasing of the digitization projects of heritage documents around the world, the collection of palm leaf manuscripts in Southeast Asia finally attracted the attention of researchers in document image analysis (DIA). The research work conducted for this dissertation focused on the heritage documents of the collection of palm leaf manuscripts from Indonesia, especially the palm leaf manuscripts from Bali. This dissertation took part in exploring DIA researches for palm leaf manuscripts collection. This collection offers new challenges for DIA researches because it uses palm leaf as writing media and also with a language and script that have never been analyzed before. Motivated by the contextual situations and real conditions of the palm leaf manuscript collections in Bali, this research tried to bring added value to digitized palm leaf manuscripts by developing tools to analyze, to transliterate and to index the content of palm leaf manuscripts. These systems aim at making palm leaf manuscripts more accessible, readable and understandable to a wider audience and, to scholars and students all over the world. This research developed a DIA system for document images of palm leaf manuscripts, that includes several image processing tasks, beginning with digitization of the document, ground truth construction, binarization, text line and glyph segmentation, ending with glyph and word recognition, transliteration and document indexing and retrieval. In this research, we created the first corpus and dataset of the Balinese palm leaf manuscripts for the DIA research community. We also developed the glyph recognition system and the automatic transliteration system for the Balinese palm leaf manuscripts. This dissertation proposed a complete scheme of spatially categorized glyph recognition for the transliteration of Balinese palm leaf manuscripts. The proposed scheme consists of six tasks: the text line and glyph segmentation, the glyph ordering process, the detection of the spatial position for glyph category, the global and categorized glyph recognition, the option selection for glyph recognition and the transliteration with phonological rules-based machine. An implementation of knowledge representation and phonological rules for the automatic transliteration of Balinese script on palm leaf manuscript is proposed. The adaptation of a segmentation-free LSTM-based transliteration system with the generated synthetic dataset and the training schemes at two different levels (word level and text line level) is also proposed

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Late medieval vernacular literary texts frequently reflect on their physical existence; they establish a poetics of material composition that is productively ambivalent about the contingencies of literary making in a manuscript culture. This thesis traces the ‘potential life’ of a late medieval manuscript. Four keywords (blankness, palimpsests, textiles, and fragments) provide the impetus for a discussion that connects a wide range of literary, codicological, and theoretical materials, in a mode that is iterative and additive. Manuscripts are not simply containers or substrates for literary texts; varied and ambivalent ideas about manuscripts are deeply embedded in the medieval period’s cultural and philosophical moment: they are the ‘matter’ of medieval writing in the dual sense of that word. In exploring the theoretical, figurative, and interpretative possibilities of manuscript study this thesis turns to a wide range of late medieval texts: these include the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, vernacular romance, The Book of Margery Kempe, The Book of Sir John Mandeville, and Thomas Hoccleve’s Series. The numerous and varied manuscripts of The Book of Sir John Mandeville form a central focus. As well as engaging with the late medieval period’s own rich vocabulary for describing the transformations of matter, I use contemporary ecological theory and new materialism in order to think further about the materials of medieval books. The work of Michel Serres, Bruno Latour, Tim Ingold, and Jonathan Gil Harris provides the occasion not simply to ‘apply’ contemporary theory to medieval materials, but to trace a more dialectical history in which theoretical, literary, and manuscript materials are brought into productive contact. This thesis demonstrates that late medieval manuscripts are sites where multiple temporalities are interwoven, in a manner that should encourage a critical self-‐‑reflexiveness about how scholars narrate the lives of manuscripts, as well as about the modern archiving procedures that have come to condition our access to the medieval past. It reflects critically on the ways in which the medieval textual record has come to be fragmented, archived, and disciplined in the postmedieval period.

This dissertation is the first book-length study to analyse the production and patronage of Islamic illuminated manuscripts in late medieval RÅ«m in their fullest cultural contexts and in relation to the arts of the book of neighbouring regions. Although research concerning the artistic landscapes of late medieval Rūm has made significant progress in recent years, the development of the arts of the book and the nature of their patronage and production has yet to be fully addressed. The topic also remains relatively neglected in the wider field of Islamic art history. This thesis considers the arts of the book and the part they played in artistic life within contemporary scholarly frameworks that emphasise inclusivity, diversity and fluidity. Such frameworks acknowledge the period's ethnic and religious pluralism, the extent of cross-cultural exchange, the region's complex political situation after the breakdown in Seljuk rule, and the itinerancy of scholars, Sufis and craftsmen. Analyses are based on the codicological examination of sixteen illuminated Persian and Arabic manuscripts, none of which have been published in depth. In order to appropriately assess the material and to partially redress scholarly emphases on the constituent arts of the book (calligraphy, illumination, illustration and binding), the manuscripts are considered as whole objects. The manuscripts' ample inscriptions also help to form a clearer picture of contemporary artistic life. Evidence from further illuminated and non-illuminated manuscripts and other textual and material primary sources is also examined. Based on this evidence, this dissertation demonstrates that Rūm's towns had active cultural scenes despite the frequent outbreak of hostilities and the absence of an effective centralised government. The lavishness of some manuscripts from this period also challenges the often-assumed connection between dynastic patronage and sophisticated artistic production. Furthermore, the identities and affiliations of those involved in the production and patronage of illuminated manuscripts reinforces the impression of an ethnically and religiously diverse environment and highlights the role that local amīrs and Sufi dervishes in particular had in the creation of such material.

De diuersis artibus o Schedula diuersarum artium de Teòfil és una de les obres sobre art i artesania més importants de l'Edat Mitjana. És un tractat medieval dividit en tres llibres que s'ocupen, respectivament, de pintura, vitralleria i orfebreria.
El treball que presentem consta de diferents parts: en primer lloc, oferim un estudi preliminar on exposem les teories que s'han formulat recentment pel que fa a l'autoria, la datació i el títol de l'obra i hi incloem un estudi sobre les principals fonts de la tecnologia artística medieval. Hi incorporem un apartat dedicat a la transmissió manuscrita del tractat on recollim el llistat actualitzat de tots els manuscrits que contenen el De diuersis artibus i aportem una relació de totes les edicions i traduccions que s'han publicat fins al moment. Dediquem també un capítol a exposar els criteris que hem seguit per a l'establiment del text llatí i per a l'elaboració de la traducció catalana.
En segon lloc, oferim una nova versió del text de De diuersis artibus. Prenent com a base l'edició de Dodwell, aportem noves variants i esmenes significatives, a les quals hem pogut arribar gràcies a haver-nos capbussat profundament en el text i en la seva interpretació. Aquest treball conté també la primera traducció al català d'aquest tractat medieval. La iniciativa de traduir aquesta obra fou motivada per l'interès que aquesta pot suscitar en un territori on l'art romànic destaca per la seva quantitat, qualitat i bon estat de conservació. En tercer lloc, presentem un extens comentari de l'obra, en el qual examinem i contextualitzem les tècniques i l'art que s'hi descriu.
Finalment, hem completat el nostre estudi amb un ampli annex d'imatges per exemplificar les eines, tècniques i obres d'art que es descriuen en el De diuersis artibus de Teòfil.De diuersis artibus o Schedula diuersarum artium written by the monk Theophilus is one of the most important medieval works about art techniques. This medieval treatise is divided into three books, which deal with paint, glass and metalwork, respectively. The present work consists of several parts: first, it provides a preliminary study on the most recent theories regarding authorship, dating and title of the work. It also includes a study about the main sources of medieval art technology. In addition, there is a section dealing with the manuscript tradition of this treatise and a list of all the editions and translations that have hitherto been published. There is another chapter where we explain the criteria followed for the Latin text's edition and for the Catalan translation. Secondly, we offer a new edition of the De diuersis artibus. Based on Dodwell's edition, we provide new variants and meaningful corrections. This work also contains the first Catalan translation of this treatise. Thirdly, we present an extensive study of the work, in which we contextualize and examine the art techniques that are described. Finally, we have completed our study with a large annex of images to illustrate the tools, techniques and pieces of art that are described in De diuersis artibus of Theophilus.

So far only a limited number of biblical books in Church Slavonic has been studied and edited, and the book of Ecclesiastes does not feature among these. Ecclesiastes is not a mainstream book such as the Gospels and the Psalter but rather a peripheral biblical text never used in Eastern Orthodox liturgical services. Its late date and small number of witnesses, which also reflect its marginal status, are additional reasons why this particular book has not attracted much scholarly attention in the past. This thesis is intended to contribute to studies in the history of the Church Slavonic Bible by editing the unpublished text of Ecclesiastes including its catenary versions and discussing its textual tradition. Ecclesiastes surfaces as a complete text relatively late: the earliest extant Cyrillic manuscripts are from the 15th century. Such a late date may be an indication that there was no pressing need for translating the non-liturgical book of Ecclesiastes. Two Church Slavonic translations of Ecclesiastes are extant: one, attested in Cyrillic manuscripts, survives in three distinct types: a continuous version of the text (32 manuscripts of the 15th-17th centuries), a fragmentary commentated version (1 manuscript of the 16th century), a fragmentary commentated insertion (8 manuscripts of the 15th-16th centuries). The other translation is a Croatian Church Slavonic version in Glagolitic breviaries (17 manuscripts of the 13th-16th centuries). The structure of the thesis is determined by the nature of the subject, which deals with textual criticism. The chapters are organised into a series of sections which all have headings. This somewhat 'atomistic' approach is necessitated by the fact that we are faced with fragmentary and incomplete evidence of manuscript sources, and therefore only detailed examination and comparison of various manuscripts and versions of the text will enable us to solve, at least in part, the textual history of the book in question. The limitations of the present study are the scarcity of manuscripts and the lateness of the tradition. These, however, are familiar 'obstacles' recognised by Slavists working on similar subjects. The thesis consists of an introduction, which presents a brief historical outline of the Church Slavonic biblical translations, 4 chapters, conclusion, bibliography and 2 appendices: the first of these contains a variorum edition of the continuous text of Ecclesiastes; the second, the parallel texts from continuous, commentated and interpolated versions. Chapter 1 gives a list of all the extant manuscripts of Ecclesiastes with short descriptions including dating (on palaeographical grounds), and investigates the textual relationships between various groups of manuscripts using the classical method of textual criticism and stemmatics. This leads on to a discussion of the type of edition to be used. At the end of the chapter a stemma codicum is constructed. Analysis of the language is carried out in an attempt to date the translation on linguistic grounds. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the Greek and Slavonic catena and explores some of the key issues arising out of the existence of several versions and early fragments of Ecclesiastes. It deals with problems concerning the date and place of the translation of Ecclesiastes. Detailed analysis sheds some light on the textual peculiarities of the three versions: commentated, interpolated and continuous. The complex interrelationship between these three versions is investigated further and a comparison with the earlier extant fragments of the catena is also carried out. Chapter 3 deals with the quotations from Ecclesiastes in early translated texts and in original Old Russian literature. Quotations found in medieval Slavonic texts, both translated and original, appear to be independent of the translation of continuous Ecclesiastes known from manuscripts of around the 15th century. However, the quotations prove that parts of Ecclesiastes were known in some form of exegetical compilations. Chapter 4 investigates the translation of Ecclesiastes in the Croatian Church Slavonic breviary tradition. It examines claims made by scholars in the past and present with regards to its authorship and to the language of the source from which this text was translated. The conclusion is drawn that the text was translated purely from Latin. This conclusion is based on a number of findings: errors of translation, divergences in wording and grammatical forms between the Croat Glagolitic and Cyrillic Church Slavonic texts, and certain syntactical constructions such as periphrastic expressions for the future, which point unambiguously to a Latin original. In addition the date of the translation is placed roughly between the 12th and the 13th centuries. The conclusions summarize the findings of the study: textual analysis of the continuous text of Ecclesiastes indicates that all the extant Cyrillic manuscripts come from a single translation; this translation was made at some time between the 10th century and the beginning of the 15th century. Commmentated and interpolated versions should be treated as redactions deriving from a fuller catena. This fuller catena may have given rise to the continuous text through the removal of the commentary. Alternatively, the orginal plain text may have been added to the newly translated commentary to produce a commentated version. Bearing in mind that it is hard to decide conclusively between these possibilities, the difficulties of reconstructing archetypes of the plain text and the commentary are shown. The investigation of the text in the Croatian tradition demonstrates that the translation in the breviaries was made from Latin, and thereby eliminates the hypothesis that Methodius was the translator of this version. GB is chosen as a base text for the edition in Appendix 1. The main reason for doing so is pragmatic, for it offers as complete a text as is available to us. Besides, the availability of information on the cultural and historical circumstances surrounding the production of GB, in addition to its importance for the history of the East Slavonic biblical tradition makes it more worthwhile. By publishing the text from manuscript Sinodal'nyj 915 (GB) with a critical apparatus, supplying variants from other manuscripts, the editorial 'control' which the compilers of GB exercised while working with the text translated from Greek is illustrated. They appear to have compared their exemplar with another Slavonic witness to fill a lacuna in the middle of the text, and they shortened the interpolation by removing the commentary. It seems that they deliberately left the biblical verses in the interpolation intact. The textual evidence does not support the supposition that the compilers of GB collated their text of Ecclesiastes with any Greek or Latin sources. The choice of GB for the edition constitutes a significant step towards wider research into and eventual publication of the Gennadian Bible, which has received little attention hitherto, despite its significance as the first complete Church Slavonic Bible. In appendix 2 three versions of Ecclesiastes are presented in a tabular form: the continuous version is taken from the manuscript Sinodal'nyj 915 (GB), the commentated version from the manuscript Undol'skij 13, and the interpolated version from the manuscript Pogodinskij 1 with variant readings from the manuscripts of group 1. In the thesis several new findings are presented. These are: the absence of any link between the versions of Ecclesiastes in the Cyrillic and in the Glagolitic manuscripts, and the implausibility of a Methodian origin for the Croatian Church Slavonic text.

In this study the manuscript transmission, dissemination and reception of Gerald of Wales’ Topographia Hibernica (TH) and William of Rubruck’s Itinerarium ad partes Orientales (Itinerary) in England c.1185-1500 have been explored. The TH and the Itinerary are well known texts and have been carefully examined by modern scholars. Nevertheless, the afterlives of these two medieval texts have largely been neglected. Similarities in the authors’ approach and interests alongside the obvious difference in subject matter, i.e. the focus on two opposing ends of the believed peripheries of the world, have made the two texts worthy of consideration together. In chapters I and II, the extant manuscripts of each text have been been examined. As a consequence, the list of extant TH manuscripts, as provided by Robert Bartlett and Catherine Rooney, has been supplemented with two additional medieval manuscripts. The number of known medieval manuscripts of the Itinerary has also increased with the inclusion of one previously thought lost. In addition, through the examination of the manuscripts, the surviving attestations from catalogues and correspondence and through the subsequent re-use of the texts within other medieval narratives, this study offers a geographical and literary mapping of the dissemination of both works. It also examines the various uses to which the TH and the Itinerary were put, highlighting in particular the political significance of each text. Furthermore, in chapter III the contents of each manuscript containing the TH or the Itinerary are considered in order to explore the significance, if any, of the accompanying texts. The study culminates in chapter IV with an examination of three medieval bibliophiles: Simon Bozoun, John Erghome and John Gunthorpe, whose association with one or other of the text have offered a further contextualisation of the interest in the text, particularly in relation to their wider book collections. An approach which considers the text’s afterlife contextualises the work within its literary and socio-cultural milieus offering a wealth of information. By examining the availability of, and to a lesser extent the uses of, information regarding the Irish and the Mongols in England through these two specific texts, this study also hopes to help enhance our understanding of English attitudes to the two geographical extremities of the known medieval world.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
My dissertation is a palaeographical study of the manuscripts of the works of Gerald of Wales (c. 1146-1223). Gerald was a churchman, a member of the court of King Henry II and a prolific author. His extensive works include historical and topographical descriptions of Ireland and Wales, theological and hagiographical studies, and several autobiographical works. Throughout his career he constantly revised these works. A hundred manuscripts containing works of Gerald survive today, and the progress of his revision of his works may be observed from the manuscript-record. I therefore devote some space to the textual history of Gerald's works in the manuscripts; however, the emphasis is on the manuscripts and therefore on what the textual history can show about them, not on the texts themselves. There is an unusually large number of manuscripts (about 20%) surviving from Gerald's lifetime, including some which are decorated and illustrated and at least one which has been described as a 'working copy'. I have studied these manuscripts closely, concentrating on finding similarities between them - particularly the appearance of the same hand in different manuscripts - which may point to a common place of production, possibly 'Gerald's scriptorium'. I have also considered the manuscript evidence for Gerald's publishing processes and the possibility of finding Gerald's autograph. I have then considered the manuscripts surviving from after Gerald's death and what they can show about the continuing tradition of his works, for example: who read them, and which were most popular; the geographical spread of the manuscript-evidence; whether different works were popular at different times, and why; the treatment of the works by later scholars, for example translation, abbreviation and excerpting. This includes evidence which I have discovered for the existence of now lost manuscripts. Finally, I have compared the manuscript-tradition of Gerald's works with that of some other twelfth-century Insular writers whose works survive in various authorial editions and/or in autograph or quasi-autograph copies.

This thesis examines the uses of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts in the 150 years immediately following the Norman Conquest. By focusing on the most common types of use evident in the manuscripts, it explores how readers actually interacted with books. It also treats manuscripts as cultural artefacts through which it is possible to observe the literary and social consequences of the Conquest. The Introduction summarises our current understanding of the literary culture of this transitional period. Chapter II, ‘Destruction and Conservation’, examines claims that Norman elites destroyed Anglo-Saxon manuscripts; finding these claims unjustified, it investigates the circumstances in which manuscripts were lost and identifies how readers evaluated the contents of pre-Conquest books. Chapter III, ‘The Movement of Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, looks at the consequent loan, exchange and sale of pre-Conquest manuscripts after 1066. Chapter IV, ‘Updating Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, discusses difficulties which Norman readers encountered with pre-Conquest books, including script, abbreviation, orthography and textual redaction, and examines how these technical features could be modernised. It also investigates more practical modernisations to liturgical books, chronicles and cartularies. Chapter V, ‘Glossing and Annotating’, concerns readers’ reactions to the texts found in pre-Conquest manuscripts, particularly vernacular homilies and translations. It argues that the post-Conquest classroom was essentially trilingual, though Latin became the lingua franca. Chapter VI, ‘Record-Keeping in Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, explores the use of pre-Conquest manuscripts – copies of the gospels, liturgical books and patristic texts – as repositories for records. Chapter VII, ‘The Veneration of Pre-Conquest Manuscripts’, continues this exploration of the symbolic capital of pre-Conquest books by examining how Norman churchmen supported the veneration of particular manuscripts as secondary relics, and introduced new traditions regarding other books. The Conclusion refocuses the findings of this thesis on two key issues: early medieval reading practices and English literature between 1066 and 1200.

Recent interest in the preservation of our heritage has brought about increased archival research, which has made a considerable number of historical documents available in digital format. However, the analysis of these documents still greatly depends on manually intensive work by domain experts. Early music manuscripts are one of the most complicated sources as they require extensive knowledge of domain experts. Although optical music recognition has been actively investigated, it has; not been applied to music manuscripts from a historical musicological perspective. The principal aim of this work is to reveal the potential of music manuscripts as a source of data mining by integrating historical musicologists' knowledge. Particular attention is paid to the paleographical aspects of music manuscripts. Image processing is used to extract geometric features from music manuscripts and statistical analysis is conducted. The proposed methods are validated by exploring case studies in Bach source studies, the results of which suggest that there is a strong potential for them to become a road map not only for musicological research but also other empirical research. Moreover, the results of the proposed research may, also serve as a prototype for next-generation data mining, which can not only use the data-driven information but also the experts' background knowledge in highly professional subjects

The aims ofthis thesis are to apply the two main goals of textual criticism as practiced with the New Testament to the text of the Qur'an: 1) to discern the earliest possible form of the text, and 2) to illumine the history of the text. A selection was made of small porti()ns of text of similar genre and length in both books (Acts 7:1-8 and Surah 14:35-41). The texts ofthese portions from twenty manuscripts from. each tradition are collated including the very oldest manuscripts available. The variants observed are intensively analysed, categories oftype are established and then used as the basis of comparison. The similarities and differences in kinds of variants are thoroughly explored, taking into account the differences in kinds of script, the effects of oral tradition on written transmission, and the role ofcentralised ideological control on the texts. These comparisons are then examined in regard to recovering the earliest possible forms of the texts of both traditions and illuminating the histories ofthe development ofthese texts into standardised text-forms. Intentional variants in both traditions are given special attention. The thesis concludes that whereas there is the strong possibility of recovering reliable versions ofthe earliest autographic forms of the New Testament books, there is not the possibility of recovering the earliest authoritative forms of the Qur'an. The current version is sho~ to be the result of a long and complex development to create a precise f~fin of the text supporting Islamic dogma, instead of a version preserving the earliest authoritative forms of the text. Also, it is shown that the oral tradition of the Qur'an was not strong enough to prevent alternative interpretive text-forms and was often dependent on reforms to the written text.

Though alphabetic script had become a prevailing communicative form for keeping records and recounting histories in New Spain by the turn of the seventeenth century, pre-Columbian and early colonial artistic and scribal traditions, including pictorial, oral, and performative discourses still held great currency for indigenous communities during the later colonial period. The pages of a corpus of indigenous documents created during the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries known as the Techialoyan manuscripts abound with vibrantly painted watercolor depictions, alphabetic inscriptions, and vivid invocations of community elders’ speeches and embodied experiences. Designed in response to challenging viceregal policies that threatened land and autonomy, the Techialoyans sought to protect and preserve indigenous ways of life by fashioning community members as the noble descendants of illustrious rulers from the pre-Columbian past. The documents register significant events in the histories of communities, often creating a sense of continuity between the colonial present and that of antiquity. What is more, they provide the limits of the territory within a depicted landscape using a reflexive, ambulatory model. Representations of place evoke ritual practices of walking the boundaries from the perspective of the ground, enabling readers to acquire different forms of knowledge as they move through the pages of the book and the envisioned landscape to which it points. The different communicative forms evident in the Techialoyans, including pictorial, alphabetic, oral, and performative modes contribute to understandings of indigenous literacies of the later colonial period by demonstrating the diverse resources and methods upon which indigenous leaders drew to preserve community histories and territories.
The Techialoyans present an innovative artistic and scribal tradition that drew upon pre-Columbian, early colonial, and European conventions, as well as the contemporary late-colonial pictorial climate. The artists consciously juxtaposed traditional indigenous materials and conventions with those of the contemporary colonial moment to simultaneously create a sense of both old and new. Not only did the documents recount indigenous communities’ histories and affirm their noble heritages, they also proclaimed possession of an artistic and scribal tradition that was on par with that of their revered ancestors, thereby strengthening corporate identity and demonstrating their legitimacy and autonomy within the colonial regime.

For ages past, inscribed culture heritage materials have been preserved, organised, and disseminated by libraries, museums, and archive centres. Arabic manuscripts, as one of the most fragile and valuable examples of mankind's heritage, are kept in different parts of the world. With the increasing demand for these manuscripts by users, many Arabic manuscript holders have tended to use technology in order to preserve this fragile information resource and provide a better service for users. Digital libraries open new frontiers for Arabic manuscript providers and end-users. In the last five years, a number of digital libraries providing access to some Arabic manuscripts have been launched in several parts of the world. There are also ongoing projects to establish a digital library of Arabic manuscripts (e.g. in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). A number of studies have called for the involvement of users in building and maintaining digital libraries to provide a better service. This study aims to explore and specify Arabic manuscript users' (providers and end-users) requirements to provide best practice for digital libraries of Arabic manuscripts. In order to elicit Arabic manuscripts users' requirements, the study has employed both desk research and a mixed methods approach. This study has selected the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as the research environment. The findings of this study show willingness by number of Arabic manuscript providers to establish a digital library of Arabic manuscripts. In addition, the majority of surveyed end-users have previous experience of using internet resources (e.g. digital libraries) for locating and accessing Arabic manuscripts. End-users have specific requirements based on their informationseeking behaviour which are in contrast with those of providers, such as obtaining a hard copy of a manuscript.

This thesis examines the compilatory dynamics of manuscripts containing francophone story collections in verse. It investigates how the hermeneutic, textual and paratextual frameworks of story collections, as ‘models’ of compilation, were conceived and read in multi-text codices, analysing in particular how paratext shapes textual boundaries, and how ideological agendas are established. The corpus comprises the manuscripts of three different story collections in order to illustrate common compilatory processes (modification, interpolation, extension, continuation, etc.) as well as the extent to which the specific character of the framework (and ‘generic’ identity) of the story collection affects its dissemination. Chapter one addresses the five extant manuscripts of the Fables Pierre Aufons, one of two thirteenth-century French verse translations of Petrus Alfonsi’s highly influential Disciplina clericalis. The dynamic approach to reading in this story collection framed by a father-son exchange is reflected in the variety of its co-texts. The diversity of the corpus illustrates its semantic malleability. By contrast, in chapter two, the multi-text codices of the Old French verse Vie des Pères are characterised less by the heterogeneity of their content than the multiple configurations of this story collection. Hence, the principal focus is the textual and paratextual organisation of the manuscripts and how other material is integrated into the Vie des Pères. The final chapter brings together the principal approaches from the previous two case studies in its investigation of the manuscripts of the Ysopet attributed to Marie de France, examining in particular how the manuscripts construct the figure of the author and how this affects the reception of the fable collection. By considering the reading practices underlying composition, compilation and manuscript production, and how textual and paratextual frameworks affect the reading experience offered by story collections and their co-texts, this thesis engages with the layers of reading embedded within the texts and inscribed in the codex. Moreover, it looks at how we, as modern readers, approach the medieval book.

The objective of this project was to establish a provenance for two Indian manuscripts that were recently discovered in the collections at Scripps College. Based on their illuminations, script, and binding structure, I was able to conclude that these two manuscripts are Hindu religious texts created around the 19th or 20th century. To determine an approximate origin and the significance of these volumes, my research focused on the syncretism of religion, material history, and power dynamics in India. Their context was specifically framed within the history of manuscript construction and conservation.
