Abstract:Because of its diminutive size, unconventional decorative scheme and total lack of built-in translations, MS Bodley Or. 621 is an anomaly among the nine “Hebrew Psalters for Christian Use” listed by Raphael Loewe. It has received scant attention principally because, as a book that appears to have been intended for Jews only to be later appropriated by Christians, it seems to be of lesser relevance to discussions of thirteenth-century English Hebraism than those psalters that were unambiguously custom-made for gentile scholars.This article challenges this premise and this conclusion. By re-examining and synthesising the paleographical and codicological evidence presented by the text proper, I suggest that the psalter may indeed have been commissioned by a Christian according to his specific needs. By considering the form, content, and distribution of the marginal annotations, especially those that contain not only Latin and French translations but also Hebrew roots, I highlight the remarkable and unique method of learning Hebrew adopted by one of the scholars, which is not unlike the modern notion of learning a language through immersion. By approaching the all-Hebrew psalter with an imperfect grasp of the language, he transforms the experience of reading into a learning process, and the psalm text into a type of textbook. This agrees well with the short and fragmentary nature of surviving Hebrew grammars from thirteenth-century England, and perhaps explains why there was no need for more comprehensive works.
摘要:《MS Bodley Or. 621》是拉斐尔·洛伊(Raphael Loewe)所列的九部《希伯来文基督教诗篇》(Hebrew psalms for Christian Use)中的异类，因为其体积小巧，装饰风格不传统，而且完全没有内置翻译。它很少受到关注，主要是因为，作为一本似乎是为犹太人准备的书，后来被基督徒挪用，它似乎与13世纪英语希伯来语的讨论不太相关，而不是那些明确为外邦学者定制的诗篇。本文对这一前提和结论提出了挑战。通过重新检查和综合文本本身提供的古文字学和法典学证据，我认为赞美诗确实可能是由基督徒根据他的具体需要委托创作的。通过考虑边缘注释的形式、内容和分布，特别是那些不仅包含拉丁语和法语翻译，而且包含希伯来语根源的注释，我强调了一位学者采用的学习希伯来语的显着和独特的方法，这与通过浸入式学习语言的现代概念没有什么不同。通过对希伯来语的不完美理解，他把阅读的体验变成了一个学习的过程，把诗篇的文本变成了一种教科书。这与13世纪英格兰幸存下来的希伯来语语法的简短和支离破碎的性质非常吻合，也许可以解释为什么不需要更全面的作品。

Abstract:This article describes the first effort to read inside a damaged codex using X-Ray micro-CT imaging, which has an additional complication beyond most unrolled scrolls, for which the process has been successful: there is writing on both sides. The project is a collaboration between a humanist, a team of computer scientists and engineers, as well as librarians and conservators, to undertake the x-ray micro-CT imaging of codex M.910, a fifth- or sixth-century parchment codex of Acts of the Apostles which is too damaged to open in its current state. The first round of image processing was conducted in December 2017 at the Morgan Library and Museum, and a second round in November 2019; work on restoring the text using machine learning is ongoing, and has already resulted in the identification of some words and phrases. We first describe codex M.910, including the basics of its codicology, and its potential significance for early Christian book culture, as well as the history of the biblical text. We then provide an overview of the manuscript imaging process, at a level of technical detail intended for a general audience, with the hope of providing a reference for future work in this expanding field of research. The key initial step was the preparation of the manuscript’s mount, which had to take into account the necessities of both conservation safety and micro-CT imaging. We also break down the imaging process itself, which was carried out by Skyscan micro-CT scanner, donated for use in this project by Micro Photonics. Finally, we give a brief discussion of the ongoing preliminary data analysis.

Abstract:This article analyses an unpublished manuscript (here referred to as the Cuaderno Español) discovered in a private collection in Madrid, which contains eight folios of calligraphy by the hand of Baldericus van Horicke (†1643), a noted writing master active primarily at the court of the Archdukes of Austria in Brussels.

摘要:本文分析了在马德里一处私人收藏中发现的一份未发表的手稿(此处称为“Cuaderno Español”)，其中包含八对开本书法，出自著名的写作大师Baldericus van Horicke(†1643)之手。Baldericus van Horicke主要活跃在布鲁塞尔的奥地利大公宫廷。对新手稿进行详细的古生物学研究，增强了我们对这位杰出的笔术大师的认识，他在欧洲写作艺术的黄金时代达到了顶峰。此外，这样的分析表明，从17世纪开始，这些书法材料是如何被用来教授写作艺术的。

Abstract:An item included within the collection of manuscript leaves known as Ghent, University Library, MS BHSL.HS.3020 can now be identified as a fragment of the sole surviving English Carthusian antiphonal, and the third extant historiated English antiphonal. Specific features of the chant identify the use as Carthusian, and the illumination localizes the antiphonal’s production to London in the early Tudor period, making it likely that the volume was made for the London Charterhouse.

Abstract:This annotation describes how a small scribal error in a late medieval Danish document led to that document being left out of the later printed source edition, because the scribe’s correction of his own mistake was not recognized by the man who registered the document later on in the city archives in Copenhagen. It talks about how this sealed the fate that the document remained unknown and unpublished until a registration project at Copenhagen City Archives rediscovered and redated it in 2017 finally resulting in the making of the first-ever printed source edition i 2019. It also discusses the implications this has had for the intellectual knowledge of the history of Copenhagen and even for the understanding of modern cultural heritage in the streets of Copenhagen.
