Vulgate Bible with prologues by Jerome and illuminations. The biblical text is prefaced by the Interpretationes nominum hebraicorum (f. 2r-27r), attributed to Jerome in the Middle Ages, and the apocryphal Prayer of Manasseh (f. 27v), attributed to Solomon in its rubric. The Prayer of Manasseh more commonly appeared at the end of 2 Chronicles, where in this Bible a rubric (f. 163r) directs the reader to the prayer's location. The biblical text is followed by a calendar of the Church year (f. 400v-401v), a missal (f. 402v-420v), including the ordinary from the canon through the communion and propers for Sundays …

How A Small Scribal Error Left A Medieval Document Unprinted For 500 Years: Report From A Cataloguing Project At Copenhagen City Archives, Svend Clausen 2022 National Museum of Denmark

How A Small Scribal Error Left A Medieval Document Unprinted For 500 Years: Report From A Cataloguing Project At Copenhagen City Archives, Svend Clausen

Manuscript Studies

This annotation describes how a small scribal error in a late medieval Danish document led to that document being left out of the later printed source edition, because the scribe’s correction of his own mistake was not recognized by the man who registered the document later on in the city archives in Copenhagen. It talks about how this sealed the fate that the document remained unknown and unpublished until a registration project at Copenhagen City Archives rediscovered and redated it in 2017 finally resulting in the making of the first-ever printed source edition in 2019. It also discusses the implications …


Data Sanctorum: The Corpus Kalendarium Database Of Devotional Calendars, Aaron Macks 2022 Harvard University

Data Sanctorum: The Corpus Kalendarium Database Of Devotional Calendars, Aaron Macks

Manuscript Studies

The Book of Hours was the popular personal religious manuscript of the medieval period, and the vast majority of the surviving examples begin with a devotional calendar of saints and feasts. The Corpus Kalendarium Database, or CoKL DB, is a database of these manuscripts and their calendars, recording the saints and feasts, and cross linking them to allow querying by metadata of the manuscript or calendar itself, or the presence and rank of a particular observance or group of observances. This paper presents an introduction to the underlying relational database, the user interface, and some of the ways that this …


Title Pages In Sixteenth- And Seventeenth-Century Icelandic Manuscripts: The Development And Functions Of Print Features In Manuscript Form, Silvia Hufnagel 2022 Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies

Title Pages In Sixteenth- And Seventeenth-Century Icelandic Manuscripts: The Development And Functions Of Print Features In Manuscript Form, Silvia Hufnagel

Manuscript Studies

This article analyses the influence of the printing press on Icelandic handwritten manuscripts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Iceland has a particularly rich and long-lasting manuscript culture that did not cease until the early twentieth century. Many post-medieval manuscripts include paratextual features that are more commonly connected with printed books, such as title pages which were a true innovation of the printing press but which are found in manuscripts, too. The earliest Icelandic title pages are found in manuscripts that were written for or by highly educated men and that contain the same textual genres that were printed, too, …


Splendors Of The Serenissima In A Digital Age: The Master Of The Murano Gradual Reconsidered, Stephanie Azzarello, Bryan C. Keene 2022 University of Cambridge

Splendors Of The Serenissima In A Digital Age: The Master Of The Murano Gradual Reconsidered, Stephanie Azzarello, Bryan C. Keene

Manuscript Studies

The Master of the Murano Gradual is one of the most enigmatic illuminators working in early fifteenth-century Venice. The eponymous choir books were commissioned by the Camaldolese monastery of San Mattia a Murano and today comprise a single intact volume in the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin (MS 78 F.1) and about fifty historiated initials dispersed in twenty-five public and private collections in Europe and the United States. The fragmentary nature of the overall corpus is a central challenge to studying the artist and to understanding the contours of the workshop. This article provides a reassessment of the corpus of work attributed …

History From The Margins: Literary Culture And Manuscript Production In Western India In The Vernacular Millennium, Jahnabi Barooah Chanchani

Manuscript Studies

Scholars of South Asia have long known of praśastis, eulogistic verses often composed in the transregional Sanskrit language on copperplates, stone slabs, and temple walls, from the early centuries of the Common Era. They have traditionally sieved these documents to recover dynastic histories and have supposed that as a genre, it faded away in the second millennium CE when Islamic polities were established across the subcontinent and new genres of history writing were popularized. In making this supposition they have overlooked the fact that praśastis continued to be frequently composed and written. Yet, their appearance was neither in public spaces …
