Abstract

Originally published in 1952, this book was written as a continuation of the catalogues of Islamic manuscripts in Cambridge University Library created by Edward Granville Browne. As noted in the preface, the text was 'compiled upon economic lines; but though austere, it will be found to contain the references adequate to establish the identity and significance of each item.' This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Islamic manuscripts and bibliography.

Abstract

The Catalogue of the Arabic, Persian and Turkish Manuscripts in Belgium is a union catalogue aiming is to present the Oriental manuscripts held by various Belgian public institutions (Royal Library, university and public libraries). These collections and their contents are largely unknown to scholars due to the lack of published catalogues. This first volume, consisting of a bi-lingual (English and Arabic) handlist, concerns the collection of the Université de Liège, which holds the largest number of Oriental manuscripts (c. 500). Each title is briefly described, identifying the author and offering basic material information. Most of the manuscripts described in this handlist originate from North Africa.

Abstract

De 1739 à 2002, la BNF s'est enrichie d'une collection de plus de deux mille volumes manuscrits en persan, dont beaucoup sont enluminés, anciens ou contiennent des copies uniques de textes rares. La longue histoire de la constitution du fonds persan de la BNF met en scène savants, voyageurs, interprètes et collectionneurs les plus divers, militaires ou médecins, qui déposent ou vendent les collections accumulées durant leurs voyages et missions diplomatiques en Inde et en Perse. Dans ce tableau des études françaises sur la civilisation persane classique, émergent les noms prestigieux de L. M. Langlès, S. de Sacy, A. L. de Chézy, Otter, Simon de Vierville, ou encore Anquetil-Duperron. La transmission des textes persans pose le problème de la filiation des manuscrits, discipline érudite de l'histoire des textes où les arguments philologiques et stylistiques corroborent ou infirment les données de l'analyse codicologique. Francis Richard se livre à une véritable traque des variantes, marques de relecture ou corrections et fait revivre des grands ateliers comme ceux de la ville de Chîrâz entre le XIIIe et le XVIIe siècle ; il apporte des éclairages sur le rôle du mécénat princier. À la frontière entre transmission orale et transmission écrite, l'étude du mode de survie des textes poétiques peut être illustrée, juste avant que la Perse n'adopte le chiisme comme religion officielle au début du XVIe siècle, par la vogue extraordinaire de l'œuvre de Djâmî, figure emblématique du Hérât timouride et poète adulé des Ottomans. Quelques exemples montrent de quelle manière s'est manifesté le succès de son œuvre, recopiée et illustrée à l'envi. Enfin, Francis Richard attire l'attention sur un type de décor à la fois omniprésent dans les manuscrits persans et éclipsé par la miniature qui a beaucoup plus attiré l'attention des amateurs et des spécialistes d'histoire de l'art, les frontispices initiaux ou sarlowh que l'on trouve en tête de nombre de manuscrits. Or il s'agit d'un…

Abstract

This is an edition of a large number of fragments of Middle Persian and Parthian Manichaean hymns in the Berlin Turfan Collection. M. Boyce in the register of her 1960 'Catalogue of the Iranian Manuscripts in Manichaean script' in the German Turfan Collection identified fragments of hymns 'to the Third Messenger' (group 44); 'Parthian hymns written in couplets, unclassified' (group 58) and 'Hymns, unclassified, including poems' (group 81). Though some of these fragments have been published in the meantime and others are very small, this yields more than 250 previously unpublished fragments, many of considerable size. The fragments are presented in diplomatic edition together with a transcription and translation into English. Since most of the hymns are abecedarian they are presented as far as possible in strophic form. An extensive introduction, notes, a complete glossary and facsimiles of joined fragments accompany the edition.

Abstract

Winner of the 2015 Bibliography Award from the Association of Jewish Libraries! The AJL Judaica Bibliography Award was established to encourage the publication of outstanding Judaica bibliographies. The intellectual legacy of the ancient community of Iranian Jews rests in several large but neglected Judeo-Persian manuscript collections. The largest in the West, and the third largest collection in the world (198 manuscripts), belongs to the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York. Primarily a work of reference, this Catalog informs scholars in the fields of Judaica and Iranica about the range of subjects (history, poetry, medicine, philology, et cetera) that engaged Iranian Jews between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. It reflects the intellectual parameters of Iranian Jewry by describing the extent to which they were acquainted with classical Jewish texts while they were deeply enmeshed in the literary and artistic sensibilities of their Iranian environment.

Abstract

The Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences was established in 1826. Its collection of Persian manuscripts is the most comprehensive set of its kind in Hungary. The volumes were produced in four major cultural centres of the Persianate world, the Ottoman Empire, Iran, Central Asia and India during a span of time that extends from the 14th to the 19th century. Collected mainly by enthusiastic private collectors and acknowledged scholars the manuscripts have preserved several unique texts or otherwise interesting copies of well-known works. Though the bulk of the collection has been part of Library holdings for almost a century, the present volume is the first one to describe these manuscripts in a detailed and systematic way.
