Abstract: This study presents the case of the ‘library’ of a curious late medieval personality: Crux of Telč (1434–1504). During his lifetime, Crux was active in a variety of environments—local schools, university, churches and the Prague chapter, ending up in the Augustinian canonry in Třeboň. Since he was an avid copyist of basically any text he came across, and since he tended to add colophons to his copies, it is possible for researchers to reconstruct his career and his interests. The codices in his ‘library’ are all multiple-text manuscripts (MTMs), usually of an extremely miscella-neous character. His copies are usually ‘creative copies’, that is, manuscript versions with a substantial number of unique scribal interventions. The author suggests that Cruxʼs case exemplifies the way in which the boom in information and spread of knowledge in the second half of the fifteenth century were

: In the multiple-text manuscript (MTM) Istanbul Aya Sofya 3610, around a peculiar recension of the Pseudo-Aristotle On Stones , a constellation of texts dealing with stones, mineral and their use has gathered. This collection of texts represents an anthology of many different streams of tradition received in the early Abbasid time by the Arabo-Islamic cultural milieu, alongside with some of original compositions from the same period inspired by the reception of ancient and late-antique knowledge. The comparison with another MTM on stones, Paris BnF 2775, shows the formation of clusters of texts around a central one―that becomes the driving force of the collection―and their circulation as such. The focus on the layout and other codicological features of Aya Sofya 3610 reveals an interest for some of these technical materials in the late Mamluk time and hints at their possible inclusion in the Mamluk curriculum.
在多文本手稿(MTM) Istanbul Aya Sofya 3610中，围绕着《伪亚里士多德论石头》的一个特殊修订版，收集了一系列关于石头，矿物及其使用的文本。这个文本集合代表了许多不同的传统流的选集，在早期阿拔斯时期接受了阿拉伯-伊斯兰文化环境，以及一些来自同一时期的原创作品，这些作品受到古代和晚期知识的接受的启发。与另一个MTM在石头上的对比，巴黎BnF 2775，显示了围绕一个中心文本的集群形成，这成为了集合的驱动力，以及它们的循环。对《Aya Sofya 3610》的布局和其他法典特征的关注揭示了对马穆鲁克时代晚期一些技术材料的兴趣，并暗示它们可能被纳入马穆鲁克的课程。

: One of the striking features of Chinese manuscripts from Dunhuang is that often texts from originally distinct sources are gathered together into one manuscript. Some of the components are assembled from pieces of older manuscripts written by different persons at different times, producing a composite item with an amalgam of codicological features. But there are also physically homogeneous manuscripts with distinct texts copied together into a new collection. This paper examines such physically homogeneous multiple-text manuscripts (MTMs) and attempts to shed light on the circumstances of their production. As a case study, I analyse the codicological characteristics and the textual composition of manuscripts S.5531 and P.3932, both of which are codices with a series of shorter Buddhist texts written in succession. The Dunhuang manuscripts represent the largest body of manuscripts that survive from China’s medieval period. The material was discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century in a hidden library cave, which had been sealed around 1006, possibly in order to safeguard its predominantly Buddhist contents from the advancing Islamic forces. 1 The cave contained a vast amount of written material in a dozen and a half languages and scripts, demonstrating the cosmopolitan nature of local society of the period. Manuscripts written in Chinese were by far the most numerous, numbering in the tens of thousands. 2 During the medieval period Dunhuang was a thriving oasis city at the western end of the Gansu corridor which connected China with Central Asia and regions farther west, and thus it was the first Chinese city when coming from the West. The rich collection of manuscripts provides an ideal opportunity to study medieval Chinese manuscript culture in a way that would not be possible using the considerably smaller

: This article describes a new method of scholarly investigation developed for studying the history of complex codices united by a common subject—a type of codices now dubbed ‘thematic books,’ as presented in a 2016 publication. The first part describes the fundamental concepts, based on the codicology of complex manuscripts. It takes into consideration the materiality, the content and the structure of the codices, as they are found today, in order to reconstruct the various configura-tions in which their constitutive units once circulated, and evaluate the relevance of each configuration as a thematic book. In the second part, the method is applied to the category of byzantine anti-Jewish codices. Questions concerning the analysis of individual Production Units are discussed first, followed by questions linked to the relation between the various Production Units in the same codex.

This article is based on documented book collections in pre-Ottoman Syria and focuses in particular on a corpus of Arabic ḥadīth manuscripts produced between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. These manuscripts came mostly in the format of composite manuscripts, but occasionally also as multiple-text manuscripts. Many of them had originally been stand-alone booklets that were subsequently transformed into larger codices. This article shows how changes in the social and intellectual profile of a scholarly field (here ḥadīth studies) changes the materiality of the books the scholars used. The article furthermore argues that the term ‘majmūʿ’ that contemporaries used for composite and multiple-text manuscripts is meaningful when we consider the manuscripts not as ‘production units’, but as ‘circulation units’.

: One of the most common multiple-text manuscripts (MTMs) in the Late Antique period was the codex containing the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which originally circulated separately but were collected and bound together as a single manuscript sometime in the third century. Within a generation of the creation of this MTM, it had given rise to the first numerically based cross-referencing system in the ancient world, the so-called Eusebian Canon Tables apparatus. This paratext extended the organizing function of the MTM by ordering the textual content contained within the manuscript, effectively providing the reader with a map by which to navigate the dialectic of sameness and difference among these four texts.

The main reason behind the compilation of (multiple-text manuscripts) MTMs by Mudéjares and Moriscos was the need to provide access to a basic knowledge of Islam to as many people as possible and to preserve it in spite of increasingly harsh conditions. However, functions and readers were not the same, which is the reason why I suggest a typology of Mudéjar and Morisco MTMs in two groups: on the one hand, a collection of chapters and/or small fragments copied from various works from either an earlier or a contemporaneous date; and on the other hand, the MTMs that ceased to have this miscellaneous character and began to be perceived—and therefore transmitted—as unitary manuscripts: at some point, both the copyist and the reader inevitably ended up thinking that all the texts contained in the codex were actually part of a single unit, in such a way that these MTMs started being copied and used as a unitary volume.
