used sporadically throughout the codex, and she points out that more research is needed on the notation and analysis of the melodies. For English readers, this volume will be an essential first port of call for research into the Codex Buranus. The scholarly literature on each aspect of the codex is listed and summarized in its related chapter, such that readers are introduced to previous key works of scholarship. This is invaluable for readers who want to know more about the codex from the perspective of a discipline foreign to them, but it will also benefit readers whose knowledge of scholarship in German is lacking. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most previous scholarship on the Codex Buranus has been generated by Germanspeaking scholars. This collection of essays presents handy summaries of fields of scholarship that have largely been conducted in German; the editors have even gone so far as to translate some chapters of the book from the original German of the contributor into English. For readers with little or no Latin, the volume is also accessible, with translations into English provided for all Latin quotations. Occasionally the translation is presented after the Latin, rather than alongside it in a second column, which can make it difficult to check the translation against the original (especially where the Latin starts on one page and the translation finishes overleaf). Nevertheless, the care taken over Latin translation is commendable and shows the editors’ desire to make the volume accessible to scholars from different disciplines. For that, and for their efforts at embracing interdisciplinary study of the Codex Buranus, they should be applauded.

and reconstruction of this obscure early historical text, the editors of the book series that this appears in might well be asked about their decisions. For example, while it is no doubt handy to have this study “between boards” as a book, it seems difficult to justify such a format when the work in question weighs in at a mere 116 pages, excluding bibliography and index and front matter. Of those 116 pages, the study itself spans only sixty—making the whole book something that could have easily graced the pages of its parent journal Der Islam in a few installments.

Abstract (Lang: English):This annotation explores an unremarked upon provenance feature of the Paris Apocalypse (Paris, BnF Ms. fr 403), a mid-thirteenth-century illustrated Anglo-Norman Book of Revelation. While early scholars, such as Delisle, Meyer, and James, concerned their scholarship primarily with establishing a stemma to relate the Apocalypse manuscripts to each other, modern scholarship on the Apocalypses, such as that of Lewis, Emmerson, and Morgan, interests itself in using the Apocalypses to better understand reading habits and the culture surrounding them.This annotation offers an examination of a short ownership rhyme included on the back coverboard of the Paris Apocalypse which reads "Christus homo factus; W(illel)m prosperet actus." This rhyme appears in Oxford Bodl. Ms 110, an early fifteenth-century English composite manuscript of 184 leaves containing a collection of medieval Latin works of Christian instruction and preaching. After a comparison of the paleographic features, I fit the owner, William Cleve, into the known provenance narrative of the Paris Apocalypse and find that his brief ownership of the book was in fact likely.
摘要(Lang: English):本注释探讨了《巴黎启示录》(Paris, BnF Ms. fr 403)一个未被注意到的出处特征，这是一本13世纪中期的盎格鲁-诺曼插图《启示录》。早期的学者，如迪莱尔、迈耶和詹姆斯，主要关注的是建立一个体系，将《启示录》手稿彼此联系起来，而现代的《启示录》学者，如刘易斯、埃默森和摩根，则对利用《启示录》更好地理解阅读习惯和周围的文化感兴趣。这个注释提供了一个简短的所有权押韵的检查，包括在巴黎启示录的封底上，上面写着“Christus homo factus;我的事业蒸蒸日上。”这首押韵诗出现在《牛津词典》中。《Ms 110》是一份15世纪早期的英文合成手稿，共有184页，其中收录了中世纪拉丁语的基督教教导和布道作品。在比较了古生物学特征之后，我把这本书的主人威廉·克利夫(William Cleve)与已知的《巴黎天启》的出处叙述联系起来，发现他短暂拥有这本书实际上是有可能的。

Abstract:Forms of short and fast writing have existed since antiquity, but interest in them rapidly took off during the early modern period. Dozens of different manuals and methods appeared, all promising to teach the trendiest manuscript technologies of the day. Despite the widespread early modern interest in stenography and ciphers, relatively little research has been conducted on these scribal arts. Some scholars have focused on the famed diary of Samuel Pepys, but few have considered the scores of early modern journalists, ministers, students, diplomats, and merchants, among many others, who also actively employed fast writing in their daily lives. This article provides a historical overview of early modern shorthand, as well as an original bibliographic account of shorthand's presence and prevalence in colonial American archives.

Abstract:Binding, which adapts a written text to its intended use, is one of the most formative stages of book production. The scarcity of extant medieval bindings makes any discussion of how Hebrew manuscripts were originally bound rather speculative, but such a discussion is nonetheless worthwhile. To shed light on the practices of bookbinding among Jews, this article examines various aspects of bookbinding in Ashkenaz on the basis of selected examples of extant medieval bindings and primary written sources relevant to the matter. The aspects to be discussed include the question of Jewish binders, the role of bindings as a material marker of manuscripts in Jewish private libraries, and the ways in which Hebrew books were rebound when they entered Christian book collections.

Abstract:This article presents the colophons of a Buddhist text, the Questions of King Milinda, as seen in manuscripts found mainly in Central Thailand. Through a survey of over seventy Pāli palm-leaf manuscripts and a Thai samut khoi (folding book), the colophons reveal information not only related to textual transmission, but also to the social and soteriological ambitions of the communities that created them. Inspired by the ideology of merit, which promises good karmic returns for presenting and preserving the Dharma in this world, donors and scribes produced various kinds of aspirations (Pāli: patthanā). These aspirations are recorded in colophons. In this group of manuscripts, it is not uncommon to find that the preferred path to Nirvana among stakeholders is to become a Buddha. This is somewhat contrary to the general assumption that the way of arhat is preferred for a community that upheld the Theravāda tradition. Moreover, the quest to be fully awakened and omniscient is shown not to be confined to kings or to the nobility, but shared by a wider layer of society. The colophon of the samut khoi was sponsored by the noble royal ladies (pavaranārī) from the court of Ayutthaya. It gives us a glimpse into what—in a past era—was considered good and righteous, both materially and spiritually, by the inner circle of the ruling establishment. Accordingly, colophons deserve special attention as they provide information not only about their respective manuscripts but also about the socio-cultural aspects of the community that preserved and transmitted them.

Abstract:This article presents a paleographical analysis of the marginal annotations that appear next to the biblical text in the Hebrew Bible codex known as Madrid M1. In order to do so, a new methodology has been developed. The ensuing analysis has identified a great number of annotations, largely located in the outer and intercolumnar margins, written by multiple hands. These later interventions have different aims and produce diverse results. The systematic additions associated with different Masoretic textual phenomena reveal an interest in organizing the information differently and offering the information on each phenomenon consistently by adding cases that are lacking. The non-systematic additions seem to be more the result or reflection of later revisions, readings, and uses of the manuscript. The annotations of both types show a clear intention to complete and expand the already abundant information found in the margins of Madrid M1, rather than an effort to correct it.
