Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Hanes Collection of Manuscripts'

The notebooks and papers of Captain Alexander Matheson (c. 1833-1897), a shipowner from Dornie, Kintail, are commonly referred to as the Dornie Manuscripts.  The bulk of the collection consists of Gaelic verse and song taken down from the oral recitation of old people in Wester Ross, and composed, for the most-part, by poets native to that area. The main aim of this thesis is to present a representative selection of Gaelic verse from Alexander Matheson’s collection.  Sixteen texts have been selected for full editorial treatment, ten of which are not known from any other written source.  These texts are presented in a standardised Gaelic orthography, in chronological order, together with appropriate notes and references.  Also included are relevant indexes, appendices, and a glossary. A substantial part of the thesis consists of transcripts of all the Gaelic verse from the Dornie Manuscripts, with cross-references to other versions and appropriate notes.  An index of the poets featured in the collection is included. The introduction to the thesis contains a brief biography of the collector, a description of non-verse material in the manuscripts, and an account of previous work based on the Dornie Manuscripts.

The portfolio of fifteen-hundred drawings made by the wealthy and brilliant William John Bankes (1786-1855) and his artists, travelling and working in Egypt and Nubia between 1815 and 1822, constitutes an important early scholarly record. Of particular interest are sites and monuments in Nubia and the Sudan, many of which are now destroyed, damaged, or have been moved due to the creation of Lake Nasser. Together with Henry Salt, Henry William Beechey, L-M-A. Linant de Bellefonds, and Alessandro Ricci, Bankes produced plans, views, descriptions, and, above all, remarkably accurate copies of reliefs and inscriptions. This mass of information was never arranged and published. A catalogue raisonné of the Nubian drawings covers the sites running between Dabod and Naqa, including Gebel Barkal, Meroë, and Musawwarat; many virtually unknown at that time. The catalogue provides the data for an assessment of the archaeological and epigraphic significance of the record. In addition, the unsigned drawings can now be attributed to individual artists on stylistic criteria, and, using unpublished journals and correspondence, the two journeys of 1815 and 1818-9 can be reconstructed. Many previously unrecognised drawings can now be identified, and sections of texts of particular interest recorded on the drawings have been hand-copied in an appendix. Bankes' role as a pioneer in the field of Egyptology, and his contribution to the study of decipherment are also examined.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this thesis can be summarised under the following headings: Unlocking the Scott Collection to the music world The University of Stellenbosch is in the possession of the valuable Scott Collection, as was bought from the estate of Gerrit Wessels, the beneficiary of Commander Michael Scott. The latter emigrated to South Africa because of health reasons, where he played a valuable role in the music circles of Cape Town. Music editions, manuscripts, gramophone records, and writings on music form about 20% of the Scott Collection. Providing music editions with RISM numbers and the international implication thereof The research had to determine whether editions could be listed in the RISM. This international inventory of first and early music editions lists all known and existing editions before and up to the year 1800. There are editions in the Scott Collection for example, which are some of the only few first edition copies in the world, A detailed description of the RISM and its activities are discussed in detail in Chapter 2. Creating an user-friendly catalogue for the US Music Library It was considered a great matter of importance to create an user-friendly catalogue for research purposes. The editions discussed in this thesis are therefore presented in table-form. Introducing further research possibilities Through the survey done on the applicable music editions, it was discovered that 111 editions in the Scott Collections could be listed in the RISM. Seeing that no editions harboured in South Africa are listed in the RISM at present, this matter are naturally of international importance. This also creates opportunities for further research and international publications. Conservation of old paper It became evident during the course of the research survey that the University of Stellenbosch was unaware of the monetary and international historical value of the music editions in the Scott Collection. The collection is in danger of perishing, as it is not preserved according to international standards of conserving old paper. It is also not adequately protected from fire and theft hazards. This matter and some suggestions to improve the situation, were brought under the attention of the university authorities (see Chapter 9).
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die tesis kan opgesom word onder die volgende opskrifte: Ontsluiting van die Scott-Versameling aan die musiek wereld Die Universiteit van Stellenbosch beskik oor die Scott-Versameling soos aangekoop uit die boedel van Gerrit Wessels, die begunstigde van Kommandeur Michael Scott. Laasgenoemde het weens gesondheidsredes na Suid-Afrika geimigreer, waar hy 'n waardevolle rol in die Kaapse musiekkringe gespeel het. Musiek-edisies, manuskripte, gramofoonplate, en geskrifte oor musiek vorm omtrent 20% van die Scott-Versameling. Die voorsiening van musiek-edisies van RISM nommers en die internasionale implikasie daarvan. Die navorsing moes bepaal of daar edisies is wat in die RISM gelys kon word. Die internationale inventaris van eerste en vroee musiek edisies, lys alle bekende en bestaande edisies voor en tot en met die jaar 1800. 'n Gedetaileerde beskrywing van die RISM en sy werksaamhede verskyn in Hoofstuk 2. Die skep van 'n gebruikersvriendelike katalogus vir the US Musiekbiblioteek Die opstelling van 'n gebruikersvriendelike katalogus is as noodsaaklik beskou vir navorsingsdoeleindes. Die edisies wat in hierdie tesis bespreek word, word daarom in tabelvorm aangebied. Die skep van verdere navorsingsmoontlikhede Gedurende die ondersoek gedoen op die toepaslike musiek edisies, is daar ontdek dat 111 edisies in die Scott-Versameling in die RISM gelys kan word. Omdat geen edisies wat in Suid-Afrika gehuisves word, huidiglik in die RISM gelys word nie, is hierdie saak uiteraard van internasionale belang. Dit skep ook verdere navorsingsrnoontlikhede en geleenthede vir internasionale vakpublikasies. Bewaring van ou papier Gedurende die navorsing het dit aan die lig gekom dat die Universiteit van Stellenbosch onbewus is van die monetere en internasionaal-historiese waarde van die musiek-edisies in die Scott-Versameling. ·Die versameling staan die gevaar om tot niet te gaan, omdat dit nie bewaar word volgens internasionale standaarde vir die bewaring van ou papier nie. Dit word ook nie voldoende beskerm teen brandgevaar en diefstal nie. Die aangeleentheid, asook 'n paar voorstelle om die omstandighede te verbeter, is onder die aandag van die universiteitowerhede gebring (sien Hoofstuk 9).

Ph.D.
The purpose of this dissertation is to produce a critical edition of Álvaro de Luna's 15th century manuscript, Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres. This Castilian text is a compilation of biographies of good and virtuous women similar to that of the widely studied De claris mulieribus by Giovanni Boccaccio. Scholars however, have neglected Luna's version for various reasons that are discussed within this dissertation. Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres is a significant work because it complements other texts within the genre of defense literature and provides a good argument against the misogynistic texts in the debate on women in the Middle Ages. Within this dissertation, the Introduction serves to orient the reader through the debate on women in 15th century Castile and to contextualize the Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres within it. Through the discussion of the debate on women in medieval Iberia, we will show how Luna's work is a necessary, but forgotten element. Also pertinent is the notorious past of don Álvaro, and how this has negatively impacted the reception of his work. This dissertation also compiles all critical studies and editions currently in print and discusses their merits. Finally in the Introduction, we explain how we took into account Bernard Cerquiglini's concept of variance and John Dagenais' theory that in order to come close to the medieval reading of the text, it is necessary to replicate the manuscripts, not to modernize them. Thus, we produced transcriptions that were as close to the original texts as possible, rather than attempting to correct or modernize them. In order to produce the critical edition necessary for a proper study of the Libro de las claras e virtuosas mugeres, this dissertation contains two transcriptions of the two oldest extant manuscripts: ms. B (2654) and ms. S (207). Within ms. B we also provide a critical apparatus, which shows the lexical and orthographical differences between the two. Additionally for the benefit of the reader, we provide four Appendices: the missing chapter of the Queen of Sheba (not included in ms. B), a list of all the women Luna included in his work, and facsimilar samples of both manuscripts. It is our desire to promote a renewed interest in this forgotten, yet extremely important 15th century Castilian manuscript.
Temple University--Theses

Zu den größten Schätzen der Handschriftensammlung der SLUB gehört seit 1768 ein Band, der Albrecht Dürers Reinschrift zu einer geplanten früheren Ausgabe des ersten Buches seiner „Lehre von menschlicher Proportion“ sowie das so genannte Dresdner Skizzenbuch mit zahlreichen Zeichnungen vor allem zur Proportionslehre enthält. Der Beitrag erläutert die Handschrift als Dokument der Entstehungsgeschichte der Dürer‘schen Proportionslehre anhand ausgewählter Seiten und referiert Hypothesen zu ihrer Überlieferungsgeschichte
One of the greatest treasures kept in the manuscript collection of the SLUB since 1768 is a volume containing Albrecht Durer's fair copy of the first of his "Four Books on Human Proportion", as well as the socalled “Dresden Sketchbook” with many drawings related to the theory of human proportion. This paper explains the manuscript as a document of the development of Durer's theory of proportion, exemplifies its features by selected pages and informs about a number of hypotheses on the transmission of the manuscript

Nossa pesquisa se concentrou no conjunto de manuscritos relativo à gÃnese dos contos âA Cartaâ e âO Cachorroâ, ambos contidos no volume Dizem que os cÃes vÃem coisas, 1 e 2 ediÃÃes, para compreender o itinerÃrio da escritura do contista cearense Moreira Campos. Com esse propÃsito, tomamos como base a fundamentaÃÃo desenvolvida pela teoria da CrÃtica GenÃtica, nova corrente de pesquisa no campo das artes, que tem como objetivo demonstrar o processo da criaÃÃo artÃstica, fazendo uso de inferÃncias sobre os procedimentos utilizados, a partir das marcas deixadas pelo artista no caminho de sua criaÃÃo. O estudo foi estruturado em: apresentaÃÃo, cinco capÃtulos, conclusÃo, anexos e referÃncias bibliogrÃficas. No primeiro capÃtulo, descrevemos a origem do AMEC da UFC, por ser a fonte de nossa pesquisa, priorizando o acervo de Moreira Campos. Classificamos sua documentaÃÃo e relatamos seus primeiros frutos. No segundo capÃtulo, apresentamos sÃntese da vida e obra de Moreira Campos: especificidades pessoais e literÃrias. No terceiro capÃtulo, relatamos a trajetÃria da CrÃtica GenÃtica, seus precursores, surgimento na FranÃa e no Brasil, tendo como parÃmetro a visÃo de Almuth GrÃsillon, a metodologia idealizada por Bierre-Marc de Biasi e leituras enriquecidas por trabalhos de estudiosos brasileiros e de outros estrangeiros, referidos sempre em rodapÃ. No quarto capÃtulo, analisamos o corpus: sua complexidade e singularidade. Detalhamos particularidades do nosso objeto de trabalho, ou seja, do conjunto de documentos integrantes dos dossiÃs genÃticos dos contos âA Cartaâ e âO Cachorroâ, agregados por nÃs atà o presente momento: descrevendo a origem de cada versÃo (suporte, instrumento de escrita, condiÃÃes fÃsicas). No quinto capÃtulo, especificamos os critÃrios para a anÃlise do nosso objeto de estudo; cotejamos as versÃes de cada conto, suas diversas fases de elaboraÃÃo, inclusive as constantes em ediÃÃes revisadas pelo autor; indicamos as variantes entre as versÃes cotejadas, analisando-as para verificar os procedimentos utilizados por Moreira Campos, em seu fazer literÃrio; e formulamos hipÃteses sobre seu processo de criaÃÃo, a partir das marcas de suas campanhas sobre o texto. Na conclusÃo, comentamos as inferÃncias sobre os bastidores da escrita moreiriana, fundamentadas nos dados estilÃsticos do autor e nos pressupostos teÃricos da CrÃtica GenÃtica. Percebemos algumas prÃticas recorrentes de escritura e reescrita que podem licenciar caracterÃsticas singulares das estratÃgias utilizadas pelo autor em sua criaÃÃo literÃria, como, por exemplo, adaptaÃÃo de texto a novos paradigmas da linguagem; a aproximaÃÃo da linguagem ficcional à linguagem coloquial; a busca pela sÃntese.
This work is in focus on the collection of the manuscripts linked to the short stories â The Letterâ and âThe Dogâ, both belonging to the book They say the dogs see things, 1st and 2nd editions, in order to undestand the itinerary of the writting of the author from Ceara, Moreira Campos. For this purpose, we have based this work on the fundamentals of Genetic Criticism theory, a new current of research in the field of the arts, that is aimed at demonstrating the process of the artistic creation, making use of inferencies about the used procedures starting from the marks left by the author in the way of his creation. This study is structured on: presentation, five chapters, conclusion, attacheds and bibliographic references. In the first chapter, we described the origin of AMEC of UFC, because it is the source of our research, giving priority to Moreira Camposâ collection. We classified his documents and related his first results. In the second chapter, we presented a synthesis about Moreira Camposâ life and work: Personal and literary specifities. In the third chapter, we gave na account of trajectory of Genetic Criticism, her precursors, her origin in France and in Brazil, based on Almuth Gresillonâs view, the methodology idealized by Pierre- Marc de Biasi and readings enriched by brazilian researchers and foreignâs works, always refered in footnote. In the fourth chapter, we analyzed the corpus: its complexibility and particularity. We gave details of our work object, in other words, of the collection of integratings documents in the genetic dossiers of the short stories âThe Letterâ and âThe Dogâ, attached for us until the present moment: describing the origin of each version (support, writting instrument, phisical conditions). In the fifth chapter, we specified the criteria to the analyzis of our study object; compared the versions of each short stories, its various stages of elaboration, including those constants in editions revised by the author; indicated the variants between the compared versions, analyzing them in order to verify the procedures used by Moreira Camposin his production; and we developed hypotheses about his process of creation, starting from the marks of his campaingn about the text. In conclusion, we commented on our inferencies about the wings of Moreira Camposâ writting based on stylistic informations of the author and on theorical presupposings of Genetic Criticism. We perceived some recurring pratices of writting and rewritting that can allow unique characteristics of strategies used by the author in his literary creation, like adaptation of texts to news prototypes of language, the approuch of the fictional language and the search for the synthesis.

Music researchers are seldom at the center of attention as a user group within LIS. Thus, investigations of search possibilities for digitized music manuscript collections with a user perspective are lacking. Here, three digitized music manuscript collections (the Schrank II collection in Dresden, the Utile Dulci collection in Stockholm, and the Düben collection in Uppsala) are examined with regard to the accessibility of their contents to the target user group in two steps: First, music researchers are asked about their information seeking process and queries. They are observed in surveys, interviews, and think-aloud protocols. Second, the three retrieval systems are subjected to a performance evaluation by means of precision, recall, and F1 measures. The results show that music researchers are seeking information either with known-item searching, browsing, or subject search, yet the latter with considerably different subjects than, for example, in the domain of literature. In addition, while music researchers are expressing their satisfaction with the discovery systems, the observations from protocol analysis and the performance evaluation show that all three have issues in retrieving relevant documents for music-specific queries.

This paper attempts to understand and analyze the first Russian translation of novel “Hong Lou Meng”. Paper focuses on results from previous researches, including Taiwanese, Chinese and Russian studies of the novel. Paper analyzing three full versions of Russian translation of “Hong Lou Meng”, mostly focuses on V.A. Panasyk (?.?. ?)`s studies. From V.A. Panosyk’s translation method for description of architecture, main heroes characters and appearance, as well as name translation in this fiction “Hong Lou Meng”, reflects author’s unique style for effective, picturesque and correct describing heroes, their names, spoken sentences etc. This paper presents some of the translator’s opinions in the first Russian-translated “Hong Lou Meng” novel published in 1958, points out the translation issue of Chinese architecture, name and analyzes successful translation parts as well as misunderstanding points from the translator. From some results of Russian Hong’s translation analysis, tried to demonstrate political, historical and cultural reasons for misunderstanding in translation. The paper presents and analyses manuscripts of “Hong Lou Meng”, which are preserved in libraries and academic institutes of Russian Federation nowadays. Also, this paper gives analyses of Russian studies of the “Hong Lou Meng”, including research directions, advantages and disadvantages. The paper pointing out, that Russian studies in Soviet period was based on political regime and closed door policy. Moreover cultural and language differences made barriers for translation and research. The paper analyses symbolic significance of clothes, finding out that clothes fulfill personality of the heroes in the novel.

The treatise on horses that forms the basis of this study is a composite text found in a 15th century manuscript previously owned by HRH Duke of Gloucester (MS G). Although sections of this text have been partially edited from other witnesses, it has hitherto been unedited from this witness. This study offers a critical edition of this treatise, including a semi-diplomatic transcription of the text, the edited text together with a textual apparatus, textual commentary and a glossary. The purpose of this study is to provide a transparent reflection of the process of editing this text. The introduction includes an overview of the relevant components and history of the text, other witnesses, previous studies and relevant theory and text-editing practices. The semi-diplomatic transcription is provided to offer the reader a point of reference, which may be used to check against the conservative critical edition and the textual apparatus. The textual apparatus provides information on textual issues and changes within the text, as well as observations concerning the features of the manuscript as deducible from the microfilm copy. The textual commentary elaborates on unfamiliar or problematic phrases and terms, and reflects on how these terms were interpreted. The glossary is selective, and includes technical or uncommon terms, along with words and phrases with unusual spellings or forms. Although this study is by no means exhaustive, the aim of this dissertation is to deal with the text as it appears in MS G, in the manner and for the purposes stated above. Since this manuscript is now in an unknown, private collection, this study will also allow for further work to be done regarding this text.

Of the three manuscripts that form the basis of this thesis, MS Cape Town, South African Library, Grey 4c7 is, in musicological terms the most important of the three manuscripts. It is a complete Carthusian Antiphonary, of the late 14th century, written for the Charterhouse of Champmol, near Dijon, the mausoleum of the Dukes of Burgundy. It also contains an extensive Tonary, a Hymnary and a Kyriale. The two didactic verses which form part of the Tonary are of particular importance, since MS 4c7is one of the few manuscripts in the world intended for musical performance to contain the Ter terni by William of Hirsau; furthermore it is apparently the only Carthusian manuscript of any kind to contain the Oyapente et dyatessaron by Hucbald. The manuscript is placed in the context of the Carthusian liturgy of the 12th to the 16th centuries and is compared with 33 manuscripts of this period. It is shown that, although a marked textual similarity exists between the manuscripts, there are variant melodies. The conclusion is therefore drawn that the Carthusians did not have a single exemplar for the melodies in their liturgical books. It is shown that MS 4c7 and MS Oijon, Bibliotheque municipale 118, also written for Champmol, were copied from the same exemplar and that they are closely related to MSS Beaune, Bibliotheque municipale 27, 34 and 41, ot the neighbouring Charterhouse of Fontenay. The second manuscript, MS Grey 3c23, an Antiphonary for nuns, for Lauds and Vespers, written for the Charterhouse of Mont-Sainte-Marie, at Gosnay, near Arras, has been dated 1538 by the original scribe. This manuscript is almost identical to MS AGC C II 817. The presence of a Sequence, foreign to the Carthusian tradition, is however unique toMS 3c23. The third manuscript, MS Grey 6b3, is an Evangeliary, signed by the scribe, Amelontius de Ercklems, in 1520. Its provenance is the Charterhouse of Our Lady of the Twelve Apostles at Mont-Cornillon near Liege. Musicological features of the manuscript which are discussed are the Hymn 'Te decet laus', and the accent neumes at the ends of pericopes.

(in English): This study focuses on the faculty libraries of the Charles University in Prague. More precisely, it deals with their collections of manuscripts, old and rare books. The introductory chapters are dedicated to theoretical basis of protection and preservation of historical documents. The main body of the thesis is created by an analysis of historical collections in particular libraries. This analysis is based on a questionnaire survey, on study of sources and on a research carried out during an actual visit to these libraries. Each chapter includes a brief history of the faculty library, the origin of the collection, and other important features such as the size of the collection, its thematic focus and especially the details of the way it is stored and available to readers. Another important focus of this study is to express the needs, the aims and experience of these faculty libraries. A more detailed study is dedicated to the library of The Protestant Theological Faculty. It includes a report about my research into the actual physical condition of the collection. The concluding and summarizing part of this thesis consists of thematically structured chapters, diagrams and tables which try to give an overall perspective on the situation. It tries to define the common grounds and...
