: This article takes on the idea that, at least in some contexts, when producing manuscripts certain protagonists were learning, fostering and promoting mathematical astronomy. It also seeks to improve our understanding of the articulations between producing astronomical manuscripts and other astronomical practices in the specific context of late medieval Europe. In tackling this issue one is compelled to rely on approaches used within the history of mathematical astronomy and those of manuscript cultures. In so doing, I focus on two manuscripts both relating to the same protagonist: Conrad Heingarter, a fifteenth-century astrologer cum physician in France. By analysing the material, decorative and intellectual aspects of BnF lat. 7197 and BnF lat. 7432 I will re-veal how the first is a student manuscript produced during Heingarter’s university years, whereas the second is a presentation manuscript intended to show-case Heingarter’s competence in a specific courtly context.

: In my paper I describe two text collections (the so-called Mawlid Collection and šayḫ Hāšim’s al-Fatḥ al-Raḥmānī ) widely attested in multiple-text manuscripts (MTMs) of the Arabic manuscript culture of the Islamic city and learning centre of Harar (Eastern Ethiopia), highlight the main components of both collections and their distribution in the codices, and carry out a comparative analysis, tentatively reconstructing a possible history of their formation and diffusion.

Abstract: Manuscripts Arabe 248 and 788 of the Escorial collection are multiple-text manuscripts (MTMs) produced in Morocco, the former in 1409, the latter in 1561.

: The paper focuses on some Byzantine manuscripts which consist of collections of Greek poetic texts and are linked to each other: (a) the lost poetic book of Constantine Cephalas and its main descendants, and (b) the poetic multi-ple-text manuscripts (MTMs) created in the circle of Maximus Planudes. A com-parison between the structure and the purposes of some of these MTMs and the epigrammatic anthologies they include is also provided. In the final part of the paper, epigrammatic collections are also used as a case study on what MTMs can tell about the perception and the contexts in which the literary works they contain came to fruition.
本文重点研究了一些拜占庭时期的手稿,这些手稿由希腊诗歌文本的集合组成,并相互联系:(a)君士坦丁·塞法拉斯(Constantine Cephalas)及其主要后代遗失的诗歌书,以及(b) Maximus Planudes圈子中创作的诗歌多文本手稿(MTMs)。本文还比较了其中一些MTMs和它们所包含的警句选集的结构和目的。在论文的最后一部分,警句集也被用作一个案例研究,探讨警句集可以告诉人们它们所包含的文学作品的感知和语境。

: In this article, I am going to analyse how the typology of Coptic multiple-text manuscripts (MTMs) evolved in relation to their content and regional prove-nance, showing how Coptic literature and Coptic book production underwent a revolutionary transformation that started in the ninth century, becoming something completely different from what it was before. Summarizing the studies on the development of Coptic literature carried out by Tito Orlandi, Martin Krause and others, Siegfried Richter writes: older works. cases, Coptic This assertion is certainly correct: what we have is mainly transmitted by codices that date back to between the ninth and the eleventh centuries and consists of a targeted selection of contents that do not fully correspond to the primeval nature of Coptic literature.
在这篇文章中,我将分析科普特多文本手稿(mtm)的类型学是如何根据其内容和地区出处而演变的,展示了科普特文学和科普特书籍生产是如何经历了从9世纪开始的革命性转变,成为与以前完全不同的东西。Siegfried Richter总结了Tito Orlandi, Martin Krause等人对科普特文学发展的研究,他写道:这种说法当然是正确的:我们所拥有的主要是通过可以追溯到9世纪到11世纪之间的抄本传播的,其中包含了一些有针对性的内容,这些内容并不完全符合科普特文学的原始性质。

: After a brief introduction on basics relating to Jain manuscript culture and a terminological discussion of the multiple-text manuscript (MTM) concept along with the treatment of Jain MTMs in manuscript catalogues, the present paper considers the possible reasons motivating the MTM phenomenon. The main part of the investigation concerns the combinations available in Jain MTMs, from binary associations to large-scale MTMs. The issue of canonized assemblages versus dynamic collections and the issue of language in MTMs which has to be connected with the coexistent use of languages in the Jain tradition (Prakrit, Sanskrit and vernaculars) are discussed with the support of instances as available in palm leaf and paper manuscripts, in pothīs and codices.
