visualizations. Its wellthoughtout schemas certainly support its primary use case. Its narrow focus has allowed its authors to avoid scopecreep and produce a finishable project that, due to its static nature, should in theory allow it to be sustained for a long time. At the same time, as our comments suggest, even a static site requires maintenance. And we wonder whether there will be sufficient energy and financing for this maintenance in the long run. If sufficient resources are not available to maintain this specific code base, we expect the longterm future life of this data to lie somewhere in its integration into larger datasets that can be maintained more efficiently by a more scalable code base. But here its unique data organization and narrow focus make its integration within larger corpora more difficult. The labor required for such an integration will certainly take some work and perhaps threaten its future viability. Nevertheless, the quality and precision of its semantic encoding is an encouraging sign that, when the time comes for integration into a larger code base, a near lossless transformation of the underlying data should be possible; again, with the caveat that there is enough interest and labor to study the existing schema closely and write the necessary transformation rules.

Abstract (Lang: English):This annotation describes the HMML Authority File (HAF), an open access database of authority records used by the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library that currently focuses on name authorities related to the Eastern Christian and Islamic manuscript traditions, but will eventually include all of HMML’s authority files. It explains the project’s history, describes how the file is populated, and discusses the best methods for searching and accessing the rich data stored in the file. As the file is a Beta project, the annotation also discusses its shortcomings and their intended solutions, as well as other future directions.

Abstract (Lang: English):This progress report details the imaging and initial analysis of watermarks and countermarks present in antique, laid paper leaves from a partial, disbound blank book in the study collection of the Conservation Center at the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU. Preliminary review of watermark catalogues indicates that the paper, featuring the coat-of-arms of Le Tellier of three stars over three lizards, and a countermark reading “H. J. Cusson,” dates roughly from the late seventeenth to early eighteenth centuries. Of the approximately 115 sheets, 20 were analysed using software developed by William A. Sethares (University of Wisconsin, Madison) and C. Richard Johnson, Jr. (Cornell University) to reliably predict whether individual papers were likely to have been made by the same papermaking mold. The programs allowed for the comparison of watermark and countermark shapes by comparison of the ratios of their internal proportions (WatermarkMarker), and the generation of animated overlay .gifs that fade from one image to the next, for instant visual comparison (WatermarkPointMarker and VisualizeOverlays). The incidence of watermarks and moldmates in the folios were also mapped using the VisCodex online collation visualization tool, developed by the University of Toronto Libraries, in collaboration with Dot Porter and Alberto Campagnolo. The results suggest that the stack of sheets was made from two papermaking molds, making the papers moldmates and twins. The progress report concludes with a hypothesis as to which watermark was connected to which countermark, and suggests that the connections between half-sheets may be more easily recreated after more sheets have been analyzed both visually, and with the software.
摘要:这份进展报告详细介绍了纽约大学美术学院保护中心研究收藏的一本部分未装订的空白书的古董纸叶上的水印和反印的成像和初步分析。对水印目录的初步审查表明，这张纸上有勒泰利尔的三颗星星和三只蜥蜴的盾徽，还有一个写着“H”的反标。J. Cusson的著作，大致可以追溯到17世纪末到18世纪初。在大约115张纸中，有20张是用William A. Sethares(威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校)和C. Richard Johnson, Jr.(康奈尔大学)开发的软件进行分析的，以可靠地预测每张纸是否可能是由同一个造纸模具制作的。该程序允许水印和反标记形状的比较，通过比较其内部比例的比率(WatermarkMarker)，并生成动画覆盖。gif从一个图像到下一个图像，为即时的视觉比较(WatermarkPointMarker和VisualizeOverlays)。使用由多伦多大学图书馆与Dot Porter和Alberto Campagnolo合作开发的在线整理可视化工具，还绘制了对开本中水印和模数的发生率。结果表明，这堆纸是由两个造纸模具制成的，使纸成为模具伙伴和双胞胎。进度报告总结了一个关于哪个水印与哪个反标相连接的假设，并建议在更多的纸张经过视觉和软件分析后，半页之间的连接可能更容易重现。

the lion’s share of manuscripts acquired are from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In sum, François Pic has provided scholars with a volume that sheds a good deal of light on the acquisitions and acquisition policies of the CIDO during its formative years, though these are not described in detail. Some of that momentum has been continued by the CIRDOC; access to the materials is facilitated by resources such as Calames and also by the CIRDOC itself, which has posted some of its collection online (see MS 13, which the CIRDOC calls the Chansonnier de Méry de Vic, on Occitanica, https:// occitanica.eu/items/show/1849). For the scholar interested in Occitan literature and/or the history of the CIRDOC, the volume is an important acquisition. For medievalists, its utility is less obvious. For scholars of bibliography, this book is a study in itself.

Abstract (Lang: English):From c. 1450 to c. 1580, Greek-style bindings made in western Europe (also known as ‘alla greca’ bindings) were produced in a number of locales, mainly in Venice, Florence, Rome, and the court of France. Popular with collectors from the fifteenth century to this day, these bindings show a variety of techniques and different degrees of hybridism between the Byzantine practices which they imitated and the western European techniques of the time. Various theories have been explored as to the ethnicity of their makers (Greek or Italian) but so far, very little is known on the topic.This article uses the case study of a manuscript at the Royal Library of Belgium (MS 11344 (Omont 79)) and its binding, which displays both Greek and Italian elements. The manuscript’s endbands were made according to a sophisticated Byzantine technique called ‘full wrapped on multiple additional cores twined endband’; the tooling of the covers, on the other hand, was made using typically Italian tools of the turn of the sixteenth century. This suggests a collaboration between a Greek and an Italian binder, which can cast new light on the making of Greek-style bindings more in general; it also makes a case for using the study of bookbinding techniques to investigate the social and cultural history of the book.

Abstract (Lang: English):Manuscripts of Suetonius' De vita caesarum occasionally include notes referring to Nerva, the emperor who succeeded Domitian, the last of those Caesars. Of these notes, three match almost exactly. This annotation examines the potential sources of those notes. They include not just facts about Nerva but a reference to the Apostle John, which suggests the combination of classical and post classical sources in the exemplar of these three notes.

Abstract (Lang: English):In the Postilla litteralis (Literal Commentary) (1322-1333), Nicholas of Lyra, a Franciscan biblical scholar at the University of Paris, compared Jewish and Christian commentaries on the Old Testament and designed illustrations and diagrams to augment those comparisons. The Postilla litteralis was copied with such an astounding frequency that it can be considered a medieval best seller. These manuscript and printed copies often included copies of Nicholas’ illustrations. This article uses a singular case study of Nicholas of Lyra’s visual comparisons between Latin and Hebrew exegesis regarding the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel’s vision of four winged creatures to shed light on how copies of Nicholas of Lyra’s illustrations represent Jewish visual and textual exegetical traditions. The goal of this article is to provide a nuanced exploration of fourteenth and fifteenth-century copies of Postilla litteralis manuscripts that display Nicholas’ illustrations of Ezekiel’s first vision. These images reveal a reliance on rabbinic commentary regarding literal meanings of scripture yet ultimately reject Jewish visual traditions of representing the divine, a strategy that supports Nicholas’ messianic interpretation of Ezekiel 1. This article uses illuminations and woodcuts in manuscript and printed copies of the Postilla litteralis, illuminations in Hebrew bible and prayer manuscripts, and illuminations in other Christian biblical commentaries to consider Nicholas’ multifaceted and varied perceptions of Jewish commentary on Ezekiel 1. I end by claiming that the copies of the Postilla litteralis’ visual comparisons between Jewish and Christian commentary operate to clarify inconsistencies within Christian iconography regarding Ezekiel 1.
摘要:在《Postilla litteralis(字面注释)》(1322-1333)一书中，巴黎大学方济会圣经学者尼古拉斯·莱拉(Nicholas of Lyra)比较了犹太教和基督教对《旧约》的注释，并设计了插图和图表来加强这些比较。《文学评论》被复制的频率之高令人震惊，以至于它可以被认为是中世纪的畅销书。这些手稿和印刷的副本通常包括尼古拉斯的插图。本文以《天琴座的尼古拉斯》为例，对《旧约》先知以西结关于四个有翼生物的异象进行了拉丁文和希伯来文的视觉比较，以阐明《天琴座的尼古拉斯》的插图副本如何代表犹太人的视觉和文本训诂传统。这篇文章的目的是提供一个细致入微的探索，14和15世纪的Postilla litteralis手稿副本，展示了尼古拉斯对以西结第一次异象的插图。这些图像揭示了对拉比对经文字面意义的评论的依赖，但最终拒绝了犹太人代表神的视觉传统，这一策略支持了尼古拉斯对以西结书1的弥赛亚式解释。这篇文章使用了手稿和印刷的Postilla litteralis中的插图和木刻，希伯来圣经和祈祷手稿中的插图，以及其他基督教圣经注释中的插图来考虑尼古拉斯对犹太人对以西结书1的评论的多方面和不同的看法。最后，我声称，《文学评论》的副本，对犹太教和基督教注释的视觉比较，是为了澄清基督教关于《以西结书》第1章图像的不一致之处。
