Abstract

El análisis de la evolución de la terminología técnica utilizada en la descripción científica de textos y manuscritos desde la Edad Media hasta nuestros días es el argumento que los responsables de este volumen pretenden poner al alcance del lector como tema de discusión y de reflexión. La particularidad del libro manuscrito reside en constituir un unicum donde los elementos materiales, estructurales y de contenido (texto e imagen) se relacionan necesariamente entre sí. Asimismo, los usos lingüísticos de los coetáneos de los manuscritos medievales para denominar su propia realidad libresca y textual se erigen en un objeto de estudio que ahonda en la consideración del manuscrito y del texto, de su forma y de su contenido, como entidades indisociables.00Es recomendable, por lo tanto, un acercamiento multidisciplinar al libro manuscrito, un acercamiento que exige la colaboración de especialistas de disciplinas diversas, cada una de ellas con una terminología técnica propia. Con esa perspectiva, los trabajos presentados en estas páginas servirán como descripción del estado de la cuestión y, a la vez, como punto de partida útil para que paleógrafos, codicólogos, historiadores del arte o filólogos comparen sus respectivos modos de abordar el análisis del libro manuscrito y de sus textos, enriqueciéndose unos a otros mediante sus conocimientos propios y particulares sobre la cuestión, todo ello con el fin de favorecer la utilización de un vocabulario adecuado y, si se considera posible y conveniente, común.

Abstract

This book examines one of the most pervasive, but also perplexing, textual phenomena of the early modern world: the manuscript miscellany. Faced with multiple problems of definition, categorization, and (often conflicting) terminology, modern scholars have tended to dismiss the miscellany as disorganized and chaotic. Miscellaneous Order radically challenges that view by uncovering the various forms of organization and order previously hidden in early modernmanuscript books. Drawing on original literary and historical research, and examining both the materiality of early modern manuscripts and their contents, this book sheds new light on the transcriptive and archival practices of early modern Britain, as well as on the broader intellectual context of manuscriptculture and its scholarly afterlives.Based on extensive archival research, and interdisciplinary in both subject and matter, Miscellaneous Order focuses on the myriad kinds of manuscript compiled and produced in the early modern era. Showing that the miscellany was essential to the organization of knowledge across a range of genres and disciplines, from poetry to science, and from recipe books to accounts, it proposes a new model for understanding the proliferation of manuscript material in the sixteenth and seventeenthcenturies. By restoring attention to 'miscellaneous order' in this way, it shows that we have fundamentally misunderstood how early modern men and women read, wrote, and thought. Rather than a textual form characterized by an absence of order, the miscellany, it argues, operated as an epistemically andaesthetically productive system throughout the early modern period.

Abstract

What would an anatomy of the book look like? There is the main text, of course, the file that the author proudly submits to their publisher. But around this, hemming it in on the page or enclosing it at the front and back of the book, there are dozens of other texts--page numbers and running heads, copyright statements and errata lists--each possessed of particular conventions, each with their own lively histories. To consider these paratexts--recalling them from themargins, letting them take centre stage--is to be reminded that no book is the sole work of the author whose name appears on the cover; rather, every book is the sum of a series of collaborations. It is to be reminded, also, that not everything is intended for us, the readers. There are sectionsthat are solely directed at others--binders, librarians, lawyers--parts of the book that, if they are working well, are working discreetly, like a theatrical prompt, whispering out of the audience's ear-shotBook Parts is a bold and imaginative intervention in the fast growing field of book history: it pulls the book apart. Over twenty-two chapters, Book Parts tells the story of the components of the book: from title pages to endleaves; from dust jackets to indexes--and just about everything in between. Book Parts covers a broad historical range that runs from the pre-print era to the digital, bringing together the expertise of some of the most exciting scholars workingon book history today in order to shine a new light on these elements hiding in plain sight in the books we all read.

Abstract

"Working with manuscripts has become a digital affair. But, are there downsides to digital photos? And how can you take advantage of the incredible computing power you have literally at your fingertips? Cornelis van Lit explains in detail what happens when manuscript studies meets digital humanities. In Among Digitized Manuscripts you will learn why it is important to include a note on the photo quality in your codicological description, how to draw, collect, and publish glyphs of paleographic interest, what standards (such as TEI and IIIF) to abide by when transcribing a text, how to write custom software for image recognition, and much more. The leading principle is that learning a little about computers will already be of great benefit".

Abstract

Medicine and the Inquisition offers a wide-ranging and nuanced account of the role played by the Roman, Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions in shaping medical learning and practice in the period from 1500 to 1850. Until now, learned medicine has remained a secondary subject in scholarship on Inquisitions. This volume delves into physicians’ contributions to the inquisitorial machinery as well as the persecution of medical practitioners and the censorship of books of medicine. Although they are commonly depicted as all-pervasive systems of repression, the Inquisitions emerge from these essays as complex institutions. Authors investigate how boundaries between the medical and the religious were negotiated and transgressed in different contexts. The book sheds new light on the intellectual and social world of early modern physicians, paying particular attention to how they complied with, and at times undermined, ecclesiastical control and the hierarchies of power in which the medical profession was embedded. Contributors are Hervé Baudry, Bradford A. Bouley, Alessandra Celati, Maria Pia Donato, Martha Few, Guido M. Giglioni, Andrew Keitt, Hannah Marcus, and Timothy D. Walker. This volume includes the articles originally published in Volume XXIII, Nos. 1-2 (2018) of Brill's journal Early Science and Medicine with one additional chapter by Timothy D. Walker and an updated introduction.

Abstract

"Exploring the nature of practical or instructional works in English transmitted from the later Middle Ages to c. 1650, this volume considers textual and material strategies for the presentation and organisation of written knowledge and information during the period. The volume examines textual and material conditions of such works in manuscript, tracing their development through and beyond the arrival of the printing press in England in the late fifteenth century. Works on surgery, courtesy, astrology, writing for women and codicological recipes are examined closely from the perspective of frameworks, conventions, and structures, and more broadly in terms of transmission and dissemination, attitudes and traditions, readers and audiences, and shifting ideas about knowledge and the professional realm. 'Instructional Writing in English' makes a significant contribution to the study of so-called non-literary textual genres and their transmission, circulation and reception, in manuscript and in early modern printed books"--

Abstract

In der neueren Forschung zur mittelalterlichen Schrift- und Buchkultur gilt dem Paratext in allen seinen Erscheinungen, von den Prologen zu den Rubriken, von den Glossen zu den Kolophonen, eine stetig wachsende Aufmerksamkeit. In diesem Band stehen die Seitenränder von mittelalterlichen Handschriften und frühneuzeitlichen Drucken im Mittelpunkt. Schriftliche und bildliche Ergänzung oder die geplante Disposition von Inhalten „am Rande“ werden als aufschlussreiche, bisher wenig erforschte Erschließungsinstrumente für Kulturtradition und Kommunikation analysiert und bewertet. Sie gelten als Zeugnisse von Lese- und Kommentierungspraktiken, von Rezeption und Überlieferung von Wissen. Sie können die Gedanken von einzelnen Lesern oder Schreibern reflektieren, aber auch komplexere Veränderungen in den visuellen Gestaltungsformen und -gewohnheiten in illuminierten Handschriften sowie ausgereifte Lernprogramme von ganzen Gemeinschaften wie dem Kloster Weißenburg im 9. Jahrhundert reflektieren. Neben einzelnen Essays und Falluntersuchungen vom Frühmittelalter bis zur Renaissance bietet der Band einen umfangreichen systematischen Einführungsbeitrag zu der Natur, den Formen und den Funktionen von Marginalien in der vormodernen Buchkultur.

Abstract

Contrairement aux scribes « de bibliothèque », les scribes « d’archives » – l’étiquette désigne ici de façon ouverte tous les acteurs de la pratique scripturaire dans le champ foisonnant des sources documentaires – sont très souvent les auteurs intellectuels des textes qu’ils tracent sur le parchemin ou le papier. Pour beaucoup d’entre eux, l’acte quotidien d’écrire n’est donc pas une fin en soi, ni même forcément un aspect prédominant du labeur ; ils exercent une ou plusieurs fonction(s) qui dépasse(nt) parfois très largement le cadre de cette activité technique. La palette de leurs profils socioprofessionnels présente une infinie variété, marquée par d’énormes écarts de statut et de prestige que le seul maniement commun de l’écriture ne saurait gommer. Qui étaient-ils vraiment ? Même si les médiévistes à l’oeuvre dans les archives les côtoient intimement à travers leurs productions écrites, bien peu de recherches leur ont été dédiées : l’historiographie se contente trop souvent d’images d’Épinal qui masquent la complexité et la diversité des situations de terrain. Certes, la plupart des scribes se dérobent à l’historien, frappés d’anonymat. D’autres, cependant, se laissent saisir à la faveur d’une carrière saillante ou d’un dossier loquace : en reconstituant leurs parcours, ce volume collectif vise à jeter les fondements d’une histoire sociale des « scribes d’archives » dans l’Occident latin du second Moyen Âge.
