The research aims to provide insight into the period of studies of the artist Manuel Khristoforovich Alajalov at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. The paper is novel in that it is the first to pay attention to the life and creative work of the artist, to consider in detail the entire period of his studies at the Moscow School of Painting. As a result, the work describes all the events of the school time, the artist’s success, his creative development and personal life. The years of the artist’s studies, the names of his teachers, the titles of his study works, the places where he worked during the summer holidays, his awards, the beginning of participation in exhibitions, works, reviews and buyers, the places at which he stayed are revealed. On the basis of the dated works, an analysis of painting was made, the individuality of the master was highlighted and the connection with the art characteristic of this educational institution was determined.

The aim of the study is to determine the artistic features of two Renaissance chests from the collection of the Pskov Museum-Reserve, as well as the time and place of their production. The paper considers two works from the collection of the Pskov State Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve, i.e. a cassone decorated in the techniques of carving and intarsia and a small chest decorated with flat carvings. The items are considered against a broad historical background, numerous analogies are drawn. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the author was able to establish that the cassone chest and the small chest decorated with flat carvings had been made in the XV-XVI centuries in Northern Italy. As a result of the study, the two artistic works were added to the number of attributed Italian Renaissance chests, which are currently located in Russian museums.

The project nevertheless represents a powerful, precious, openaccess resource for specialists of the Commedia’s early manuscript transmission, for researchers working at the intersection of medieval manuscript studies and digital textual scholarship, and for teachers and students of paleography, codicology, or manuscript studies. It boasts a rich treasury of information and tools for further research, features extensive documentation of its own development that provides a map for digital humanists to come, and represents a magisterial example of the possibilities afforded by digital methods in the study of manuscript transmission.

Abstract:Using a recent placement at the University of Pennsylvania as its basis, this Annotation explains the processes used to create and edit Name Authorities in the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts of a particular, underrepresented group within the database: women. The data available at present in the SDBM is skewed towards male collectors and dealers, in part due to the biases implicit in the sources used to create manuscript entries and Name Authorities. Therefore, it is necessary to work on specific highlighted groups such as women in order to combat these biases.The essay will then move to discuss the process of creating and editing Wikidata entries for these women so that the two entries, the SDBM one and the Wikidata one, can be linked. It also argues that given the information about the candidates was usually already digitally present in some way, the data is in essence out there somewhere, it simply needs to be pulled together. In doing so, this paper highlights the importance of linked data and invites further targeted action to be taken for other similarly marginalised groups in the database in addition to women.

the catalog, Trinita Kennedy has done an outstanding job of balancing rigorous scholarship on a specialized topic with accessibility and appeal to nonspecialist audiences. The catalog’s outstanding essays are consistent in quality of writing and scope of inquiry, the fruit of a careful editor’s work as well as the highlevel research of the contributors. It is a shame that the emergence of the omicron variant in the fall of 2021 diminished the number of visitors to Medieval Bologna and forced a related symposium, the Andrew Ladis Memorial Trecento Conference, online. Nonetheless, Trinita Kennedy and the Frist are to be commended for mounting this extraordinary exhibition despite these singular challenges and for taking on a highly specialized topic in a smaller city like Nashville. They wisely produced a wonderful catalog that will ensure the exhibition’s afterlife, bringing scholarship on medieval Bologna to new audiences in the United States and elsewhere.

Abstract:The Books of the Parish Church-project is an ERC-funded project that launched in January 2021 and is hosted by the Finnish National Library. The project seeks to shed new light on the book provision of the parish churches, in the Swedish realm and in Europe overall, c. 1150–c. 1500. To do this, it utilizes the exceptionally rich collections of fragments of liturgical books from medieval Sweden that were systematically recycled and preserved by the royal tax administration in the early modern period. Here we offer a history of this unique source material and the objectives of the project.

This is a detailed encyclopedia of Persian terms and their English equivalents for the arts of the book—first and foremost calligraphy but also illumination, painting, and binding—as these arts developed historically and continue to be practiced today in Iran. Originally published in 1994 and revised in 2009, the manual is based on thirty Persian treatises dating from the twelfth to twentieth centuries and on a number of recent studies in English and French that treat the paleography of Arabic script and codicology of Islamicate manuscripts. In addition—and perhaps most notably—the Handbook draws on the considerable experience of both the author and editor as trained calligraphers and artists. Thus, it melds past and present traditions, making it a complementary resource for scholars and practitioners alike. Altogether the publication contains hundreds of individual entries arranged in Persian alphabetical order, so ا (alef) through ى (ya). Each lemma gives its Persian transcription and correct pronunciation in transliterated form. Next comes the English translation in bold, sometimes in multiple versions and preceded by abbreviations such as “sc.” for script, “to.” for tool, and “lit.” for literally. This preliminary data is then followed by the term’s definition or explanation in English, often in a few words or succinct sentences. For example, sajāvandī, under the letter س, is defined as “the placing of diacritical marks in a text. This is usually done with a different pen after the text itself has been written” (180). Many lemmas are much more extensive, with multiple bullet points, and constitute richly documented essays, as in the entry for nastà līq, under the letter ن. From the initial definition as the “predominant script in Iranian calligraphy,” the entry continues in considerable detail about the script’s history and development, with quotations from a number of the treatises that form the Handbook’s primary source material.
这是一本详细的波斯语术语百科全书，以及与书籍艺术相关的英语术语——首先是书法，还有照明、绘画和装订——这些艺术在历史上得到了发展，并在今天的伊朗继续被实践。该手册最初于1994年出版，2009年修订，基于12世纪至20世纪的30篇波斯语论文，以及最近用英语和法语进行的一些研究，这些研究涉及阿拉伯文字的古文字和伊斯兰手稿的法典学。此外，也许最值得注意的是，这本手册借鉴了作者和编辑作为训练有素的书法家和艺术家的丰富经验。因此，它融合了过去和现在的传统，使其成为学者和从业者的补充资源。该出版物总共包含数百个单独的条目，按波斯语字母顺序排列，所以是:从(alef)到(ya)。每个引理都以音译的形式给出了它的波斯语转录和正确的发音。接下来是粗体的英文翻译，有时有多个版本，前面有缩写，如script的“sc.”，“to”。“工具”代表“工具”，“字面”代表“字面”。这些初步数据之后是术语的英语定义或解释，通常是几个单词或简洁的句子。例如，在字母下面的sajāvandī被定义为“在文本中放置变音符号”。这通常是在文本本身写好之后用另一支笔完成的。”许多引理要广泛得多，有多个要点，并构成了丰富的文献文章，如nast l q的条目，在字母。从最初的定义为“伊朗书法中的主要文字”开始，该条目继续相当详细地介绍了该文字的历史和发展，并引用了构成手册主要来源材料的一些论文。

Abstract:Originally used for preaching, exempla, short stories with a religious educational goal, rapidly spread in private manuscript collections and miscellanies, thanks to their wealth of characters, events, and situations. They moved easily from one manuscript collection to another, allowing the often-anonymous copyists and authors to personalize them according to their interests and the needs of their audience. This course was made possible by the spread of the vernacular languages, especially in Tuscany, that allowed for a larger audience; this also meant stories were able to not only share a religious message but also plots and tropes that could keep readers engaged. To better understand the main features of these vernacular religious miscellanies of exempla, this essay will consider Ms. Codex 331, a collection of religious texts, housed in the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts at the Van Pelt Library of the University of Pennsylvania. The miscellany lacks a well-defined provenance and colophon, is a relic of an obscure past, an assortment of diverse materials. By discussing the exempla of this miscellany and underlining the connections that it has with other similar manuscripts, the paper argue that the change of audience brought about a new understanding of religious literature and culture, in search of a better balance between the educational purpose of preaching and the entertaining value of literature.
