ABSTRACT Se analizan las vías de producción, distribución y uso de la estampa suelta en los Reinos Hispanos en la frontera entra la Edad Media y la Edad Moderna. Mediante el análisis de las fuentes documentales e iconográficas conservadas, se plantea que el grabado bajomedieval no circuló, en origen, por las mismas vías que la imprenta, como tradicionalmente se ha asumido, sino que contó con sus propios itinerarios de producción, distribución y consumo. Asimismo, se revisan otros aspectos técnicos y devocionales que la historiografía ha minusvalorado.

ABSTRACT Until recently, Old Hispanic chant was rarely subjected to close musical analysis, in part because it is preserved in unpitched notation. Although we can read the contours of the melodies—the up and down movements—they cannot be reliably transcribed into modern notation. This paper introduces the Chant Editing and Analysis Program and shows how it facilitates analysis of the repertory.

ABSTRACT This work examines the interdisciplinary methodology currently used to study medieval technical manuscripts and recipe books from the Iberian Peninsula. The methodology is based on both formal and content analysis, including classic paleographic and codicological approaches and the use of scientific techniques on the physical medium, including parchment or paper, inks and pigments, and covers. From the point of view of content, the technical procedures described in the Hispanic recipes can be compared to those presented in other European texts and the technical literature of other historical periods. Not only has this yielded excellent results, but it has also allowed the experimental reproduction of the processes described in these recipes, permitting researchers to verify their validity and to reproduce forms of medieval knowledge with possible applications in the twenty-first century.

ABSTRACT The turn to materiality as an increasingly important element of the study of the Middle Ages both emerges from and responds to a range of intellectual and epistemological trends over the last forty years or so. One field which might provide fertile ground for the centering of such questions is precisely that of digital textual editing, both because of advances in the theory of critical editing and because the digital mode may offer alternative spaces to accommodate material aspects of manuscript culture to those of printed editions. In what follows then, I aim to review what digital critical editing of iberomedieval works has done so far, and what the future might hold for materiality in digital iberomedievalism.

ABSTRACT While rapidly increasing numbers of online manuscript collections allow for unprecedented search capabilities and access to digital photographs, uncovering the interactions between codicology and artistic expression still requires certain traditional techniques for the evaluation of books as physical objects. Using case studies drawn from medieval Iberian bibles, this paper suggests that the study of layout should be approached multidimensionally: 1), one-dimensionally, as a series of data points, especially in light of manuscript metadata and improving visualization technologies; 2), two-dimensionally, as a ruling diagram that has implications even for pages without text; and 3), three-dimensionally, bearing in mind how the materiality of ruled parchment influences artists and how layouts extend throughout the codex.

ABSTRACT Recent works on medieval manuscripts often combine historic research on textual content and illuminated decoration with material studies, such as pigment characterization, but less frequently with the material structure of codices or their bookbinding features. Despite some scholars having addressed this subject, bookbinding studies continue to lag behind other book-related fields; thus comparisons between different works, to arrive at broader understandings, become a rather difficult task. In this article, a new digital tool to record and compare bookbinding features and materials within the medieval collection of codices produced in the Monastery of Alcobaça is presented. Our methodology is explained, from the compilation of a multilanguage glossary to the design of a digital table-based method for bookbinding descriptions, based on up-to-date international projects and bibliography. This tool addresses the main parts of the book structure (bookblock, sewing and endbands, supports, boards, covering, fastening, and furnishing elements), along with their material analysis. As a starting point, three selected codices serve to establish the criteria and to check the efficiency of the data recording process. Results from these case studies allow a preliminary evaluation of the advantages of the proposed innovative tool for medieval bookbinding studies.

ABSTRACT This article provides the first in-depth study of historic content and materials used in the production of a liturgical codex from the collection of manuscripts of the Monastery of Alcobaça: the Psalter-hymnal (Lisbon, National Library, Alc. 11). To answer provenance questions and trace the manuscript’s history, a multidisciplinary team studied the entire procedure of making the codex, which went from in-depth textual, liturgical, and codicological analyses, to examining material composition and bookbinding methods with complementary analytical techniques. The team was able to track the manuscript’s historical trajectory through successive additions and interventions/alterations. Interpretation of the historic information and the resulting technical data confirmed the belief that this is a twelfth-century manuscript produced in the scriptorium of Alcobaça and underlined the role that the manuscript played in this Cistercian monastery during the Middle Ages, and possibly throughout the following centuries. This led the team to approach the codex’s “cultural significance” and perceive later alterations and interventions as evidence of the monks’ intensive use of this manuscript and the great care they took to preserve their monastic library. The new data and knowledge acquired about this precious codex proved to be fundamental for future digital access policy definition and the conservation making decision.

ABSTRACT This introductory article offers an in-depth discussion of the special issue’s overall theme, as well as summaries of the individual contributions and a reflection on how digital tools are reshaping research. The first section covers the recent flourishing of large-scale digitization projects along with advances in material sciences and in a range of scholarly disciplines including paleography and codicology, art history, musicology, literary studies, and conservation and restoration, all of which have explored previously unimaginable possibilities for the study of medieval manuscripts. The second section focuses on the articles gathered for the special issue: those helping to create a theoretical framework, those presenting the results of recent projects, and a group of case studies that reveal how scholars are gradually adopting digital technologies and material studies as essential research tools. The third and final section suggests new avenues of investigation and methodological approaches to promote and improve our current understanding of Iberian manuscript materiality.

ABSTRACT This essay examines why online availability should not be conflated with accessibility in discussions of the digital humanities and medieval studies. Expert-oriented projects and discussions of the digital humanities in medieval Iberian studies tend to get “lost in collation.” These projects lose sight of the promises of democratization and accessibility that the digital humanities community values in favor of the traditional demands of philology.

ABSTRACT Manuscript surveys, digitization efforts, database building: all have been pursued in the past fifteen years at the Centre for the Study of the Sociology and Aesthetics of Music (CESEM) in Lisbon’s Universidade Nova. In so doing, the materiality of medieval and Renaissance codices has been both confronted and abstracted from. Digital tools have been used to expand the reach of past methodologies, but research has also been transformed by their power and ubiquity. This paper will contrast the situation before and after 2010, addressing the ways in which Lisbon-based research on music-related codices and fragments has furthered awareness of their characteristics. The manuscripts referred to include the Ajuda songbook, the Cantigas de Santa Maria codices, and, among the many manuscripts included in the Portuguese Early Music database, the twelfth-century plenary Missal in the Salamanca University Library.
