Abstract:
This thesis examines the production of the Middle English poetic manuscript. It analyses the mise-en-page of manuscripts created during a crucial period for book production, immediately after 1400, when there was a sudden explosion in the production of vernacular manuscripts of literary texts, when the demand for books increased, and the commercial book trade swiftly followed. It offers a close analysis of the mise-en-page of the manuscripts of three central authors: Chaucer’s, Gower’s, and Hoccleve’s manuscripts were at the heart of this sudden flourishing and were, crucially, produced when scribal methods for creating the literary page were still unformed. Previous studies have focused on the localised readings produced by single scribes, manuscripts, or authors, offering a limited examination of broader trends. This study offers a wider comparison: where individual studies offer localised analysis, the multi-textuality of this thesis offers broader perceptions of book production and of scribal responses to the new literary texts being produced. In analysing the layout of seventy-six manuscripts, including borders, initials, paraphs, rubrics, running titles, speaker markers, glosses and notes, this thesis argues that scribes were deeply concerned with creating a manuscript page specifically to showcase texts of poetry. The introduction outlines current scholarship on mise-en-page and defines the scribe as one who offers an individual response to the text on the page within the context of the inherited, commercial, and practical practices of layout. The three analytical chapters address the placement of the features of mise-en-page in each of the seventy-six manuscripts, each chapter offering three contrasting manuscript situations. Chapter 1 analyses the manuscripts of Chaucer, who left no plan for the look of his page, causing scribes to make decisions on layout that illuminate fifteenth-century scribal responses to literature. These are then compared to the manuscripts of Gower in Chapter 2, directly or indirectly supervised by the poet, which display rigorous uniformity in their layout. This chapter argues that scribes responded in much the same way, despite the strict control over meaning. Chapter 3 focuses on Hoccleve’s autograph manuscripts which are unique in demonstrating authorial control over layout. This chapter compares the autograph to the non-autograph manuscripts to argue that scribal responses differed from authorial intentions. Each of the three chapters analyses the development of mise-en-page specifically for literary texts. Focussing on the mise-en-page, this thesis is able to compare across a range of texts, manuscripts, scribes, and authors to mount a substantial challenge to current perceptions that poetic manuscripts were laid out in order to assist readers’ understanding of the meaning of the texts they contain. Instead, it argues that though there was a concern with representing the nuances of poetic meaning, often scribal responses to poetry were bound up with presenting poetic form.

Ahvensalmi, Juulia Kirsikka. "Reading the manuscript page : the use of supra-textual devices in the Middle English Trotula-manuscripts." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2013. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4628/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the use of supra-textual devices in the Trotula, a set of Middle English gynecological and obstetrical medical treatises. Through close examination of the thirteen manuscript versions dating between the early or mid-fifteenth century and the late sixteenth century, this thesis studies the way in which punctuation, layout, colour, marginalia and other visual devices are used to structure and present the texts. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, this thesis examines the ways in which supra-textual devices are used to organise the texts into units of various type and length (major and minor sections, paragraphs,recipes, sense-units, sentences, clauses, phrases), and how the presentation of these units contributes to the reading of the text, showing that,despite the lack of standardised punctuation practices, each manuscript text uses a consistent system of supra-textual devices. Their use is not haphazard, as has previously been asserted; supra-textual devices are used purposefully to structure the texts and to communicate with the reader. The definitions of ‘sentence’ and ‘sense-unit’ in the Middle English context are also discussed, as well as the terminology used to describe medieval punctuation practices. In particular, the often-made binary division between ‘grammatical’ and ‘rhetorical’ punctuation is examined, showing that this division is neither very informative nor useful in practice for describing the systems of supra-textual devices present in medieval English writing. While the majority of the units can be described in terms of ‘sense-units’, the development towards the modern ‘sentence’ can be evinced in the data. This thesis also examines the role that scribes played in adapting and modifying the textual presentation in their exemplars, arguing that scribes played a key role in modifying the appearance of the manuscript texts to suit the needs of their audiences. Emphasising the importance of contextualisation, the final chapter focuses on the pragmatics of supra-textual devices, and how they can contribute to our understanding of the ways in which these texts were read and used by private individuals, professional medical practitioners or textual communities. This thesis argues that the Trotula had a number of different audiences, with varied literacy skills, and the supra-textual devices in the manuscripts suggest a range of reading practices, from private to communal, silent to oral, intensive to extensive. This thesis demonstrates that a close examination of supra-textual devices can bring new insights into Middle English grammar as well as scribal and reading practices.

Abstract:
In the 1930s, Oregon State University received an impressive oversized manuscript, now known as "The Gradual," as part of a large donation of books. Not much was known about this manuscript. It does not have documentation attached from the time of its acquisition, nor had any methodical study been undertaken regarding the manuscript. This thesis examines the OSU Gradual, aiming to provide research tools for the identification of musical manuscripts of unknown or unclear provenance that could be useful to conservators, archivists, and librarians, irrespective of musical training. It is conceived as a "rough guide" for working situations where there is no dedicated manuscript specialist, in particular, a fulltime Latin paleographer or a chant scholar overseeing a massive collection. Instead, its "how-to" nature addresses curators and catalogers managing smaller manuscript collections as generalists, offering an interdisciplinary approach both beneficial and suitable to the aims of this study.

Abstract:
Cette thèse propose de parcourir l’histoire d’un genre littéraire à travers l’analyse de sa production manuscrite. Notre recherche porte ainsi sur la relation entre le texte et le manuscrit, et la problématique à laquelle nous souhaitions apporter quelques éléments de réponse concerne les rapports que l’on peut établir entre une typologie de textes et une typologie de manuscrits. S’il est possible, dans un ensemble de textes varié, d’ébaucher les traits qui distinguent le ‘roman en vers’ des autres productions, la même démarche est-elle transposable aux manuscrits de cette catégorie générique ? En envisageant l’ensemble de la production manuscrite des romans en vers au Moyen Âge, cette étude met en relief des modèles matériels et des typologies de codex pour ce genre littéraire particulier. Les analyses menées dans ce cadre ont par ailleurs contribué à reparcourir l’histoire du genre romanesque et de sa diffusion sous un angle nouveau, ainsi que de mettre en lumière quelques aspects de sa fortune. Les moments charnières de l’évolution du roman en vers sont d’autant plus riches d’enseignements qu’ils ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives de recherche, en particulier concernant la lecture et le mode de réception de ces textes. Parallèlement à l’examen approfondi de cinq aspects de la relation entre le texte et son contexte manuscrit – production des textes, production des manuscrits, dimensions des codices, mise en page et mise en recueil –, la thèse propose un catalogue des romans retenus et un catalogue des manuscrits (entiers ou fragmentaires) contenant un ou plusieurs romans en vers
This thesis intends focuses on the history of a literary genre, starting from the study of its manuscript production. The aim of the study is to investigate the relation between the text and the manuscript and the existence of a relation between a typology of text and a typology of manuscript. If it is possible, in a variety of texts can the same be accomplished for the ‘verse romance manuscript’ as well? Research on the entire manuscript production of medieval romans en vers allowed us to trace the material models and codex typologies associated with this genre. It also enabled us to retrace the history of this genre, its diffusion and some aspects of its fortune, also giving us some valuable insights into the copyists’ awareness of their work and their cultural role. The presence of key points is particularly interesting and leads to new research perspectives, especially with respect to the way these texts were read. Together with the study of five aspects of the relationship between the text and its manuscript context (production of texts, production of manuscripts, codices’ dimensions, layout, collection), the thesis includes a catalogue of selected novels and a catalogue of manuscripts – intact or fragmentary – containing novels in verse

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an intensive study of a manuscript miscellany dating from the early years of the reign of James VI and 1: British Library Manuscript Additional 22601. Compiled by someone who had close links to the court, but who was also likely to have been associated with the Inns of Court and possibly with the south-west of England, the miscellany contains verse (including that of King James) and prose in a wide range of genres, with a particular interest in the political culture of the period. My thesis provides a description of the manuscript's contents as a whole and then goes on to focus on texts from three specific genres: the letter, political prose, and poetry. Studying these individually and in their immediate context, it goes on to trace their appearance in a number of other contemporary miscellanies held in British and North American archives. The two primary contentions of the thesis are (1) that manuscript miscellanies need to be treated as coherent wholes, whose arrangement to some extent determines the meaning of the texts they contain and (2) that in the process of transmission from one manuscript to another texts and their meanings are significantly modified. The act of transcription is thus also an act of interpretation. Building on work by Peter Beal, Mary Hobbs, Harold Love, Henry Woudhuysen and others, the thesis aims to expand our understanding both of the culture of scribal publication and of the ways in which that culture engaged with the political, religious and literary life of the nation.

Abstract:
As is well-known, there are presently several archives of old Swahili manuscripts: in Dar es Salaam, Halle and Hamburg, London etc. These collections and separate manuscripts are being studied from various points of view by both European and African scholars. Beside the vast collection of old Swahili manuscripts kept in SOAS, there is another collection of Swahili works at the British Library in London, which has been considerably expanded recently by acquisitions from Jan Knappert. There, one of the most interesting manuscripts which I have ever seen is kept. I am talking about the manuscripts (OR 4534) received in 1884 by a well-known expert of the Swahili language and literature: W.E. Taylor, who was a missionary in East Africa. In 1891 they have been acquired by the British Museum. It is a roll that is 200 cm long and 16-17 cm wide. Seven sheets, glued together, of a thick paper of special quality (2-3 sheets put together) which even resembles a kind of skin, it is skillfully written on in stable ink.

Abstract:
As early career researchers, we all want to be successful in securing our first big grant and publishing our research findings in the most prestigious journals. To achieve this success, we need to be able to understand why our grants proposals weren't funded in a grant cycle and why we are asked to make major revisions to the manuscript that we spent so much time on already. Even worse is when we get an outright rejection and don't understand why. A very important skill as a researcher is to be able to interpret the comments from grant and manuscript reviews objectively once we recover from the initial reaction of sadness, frustration, or even anger. This session will provide strategies to tackle the reviewers' comments that will hopefully lead to a successful resubmission.

Full text
Abstract:
L’objet de notre recherche touche à la période la plus intéressante de toute l'histoire de l'art arménien, une période où le royaume arménien, créé à la fin du XIIe siècle, était au carrefour de très importants empires. La prospérité politique s’est alors accompagnée d’une prospérité économique, fondée sur l'abondance des ressources naturelles, et par un niveau élevé pour ce qui concerne l'artisanat pour lequel les Arméniens ont toujours été réputés. Ce fut un âge de renouveau complet de l'art du livre sur le plan de la qualité. La peinture, les miniatures sont devenues un symbole indissociable du royaume arménien de Cilicie.La situation géopolitique du royaume arménien de Cilicie nous permet de mettre en évidence les différentes influences artistiques que les miniatures ont reçues. C’est pour cette raison-là qu’elles doivent être discutées d’une manière complexe, comprenant des analyses théologiques historiques et artistiques.Dans mon travail j’ai étudié la majorité des manuscrits ciliciens du XIIIe siècle. J’ai décidé d’établir un corpus de manuscrits en les regroupant sous les noms de leurs commanditaires. Mon étude a commencé par les manuscrits peints par T‘oros Ṙoslin- le plus éminent des enlumineurs arméniens du Moyen Âge classique qui travaillait au scriptorium de Hṙomkla, principalement au service du Catholicos Constantin Ier et du roi Hét‘um Ier.Les manuscrits créés dans la seconde moitié du XIIIe siècle se singularisent par leur style, avec une dramatisation des expressions, l’allongement des corps, les compositions un peu surchargées. Tout cela s’oppose à l’art tout en retenue de Ṙoslin. Les noms des peintres de ces manuscrits sont inconnus, mais nous sommes sûrs qu'il y avait au moins 4 artistes principaux par lesquels ces œuvres ont été créées
He subject of my PHD is “The iconographic, historic andtheological analysis of the royal manuscripts of the first three kings of theHetoumid dynasty of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia” (13th century). I can saywith confidence that it’s the most interesting period in the whole Armenian arthistory, a period when Armenian Kingdom was on the crossroads of hugeempires. Political prosperity was accompanied by economic flourishing, based onthe abundance of natural resources, by high standards in handicrafts for whichthe Armenians have always been famous. This was an age of completely newquality in the book art. The miniature painting became inseparable symbol of theArmenian Kingdom of Cilicia. In flourishing of Cilician painting an important rolewas played by the commissioners, as it was usual for Middle Ages: kings andprinces, among which the most educated were especially distinguished HetumianPrinces who have commissioned the most magnificent Armenian manuscripts.King Levon II and his elder son Hetoum II were probably most educated Ciliciankings and delicate connoisseurs of art. They possessed a rich library where acollection of manuscripts, decorated with miniature paintings, existed. Three ofthem of high artistic quality now are in Mahstots Matenadaran: the MalatiaGospel of 1268, copied and adorned by Toros Roslin by the order of Kostandin I,who intended the manuscript as a gift for, at that time, four-year-old Hetoum II,the Lectionary of 1286 commissioned by future king Hetoum II, and the Bibleordered already by the king Hetoum II in 1295.One of the most elegant and dramatic illuminated manuscripts of that period isthe Gospel of Queen Keran; it was commissioned by the Queen at Sis, Cilicia, in1272 after the ascension of her husband, Levon II to the throne. The Queen isrepresented in one of the last leaves, together with her husband, King Levon IIand their three children - kneeling piously in front of a "Deisis".Cilicia had been on the crossroads of the merchant routes between the East andthe West and the artists who had worked on these manuscripts had travelledmuch and had seen the works of the Italian, Greek and even Persian artists andminiaturists. Perhaps this is the explaination of the stylistic diversity that we findin these manuscripts. We know that Hetoum II made his sister Rita marry theByzantine Emperor Michael Paleolog and may suppose that byzantinemanuscripts had been given as wedding gifts and so became known in the ciliciancourt.Being strongly influenced by Byzantine art and iconography and taking intoconsideration the style of representation of the features of the faces of characterswe may call the style of the manuscripts of this group Italo-Byzantine. AnyhowArmenian manuscripts of this period have always attracted scholars and arthistorians all over the world and the style in which these miniature paintings arerepresented has been called Armeno-Byzantine.The profound research on this subject reveals the most mysterious parts aboutthese manuscripts: I am speaking about the most unbelievable details that onecan find in their decorations. The majority of the elements integrated in thedecorations of the title pages are adopted from Romanesque, Italian, Mongol andeven Chinese art. We can see here three-headed creatures, human-headedplants, Chinese lions and dragons, phoenixes and many more fantastic elements.These manuscripts fascinate with their texts written in fine 'Bolorgir' script inblack ink with colored capitals and much more fascinating content which has asignificant meaning connected with the decorations of the pages on which theyare written. To understand the meaning of these texts we need to consult thewritings of medieval theologians, to understand the period the people creating itlived in and the believes they had

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with how we read, edit, and understand the socio-textual relationships between seventeenth-century literary manuscripts. It takes as its subject William Strode (1601?-1645), poet, preacher, and Public Orator of the University of Oxford. In particular, this study examines the transmission and reception of Strode's English verse, predominantly by examining verse miscellanies of the 1620s, 1630s and 1640s. Chapter 1 provides the most extensive account of Strode's life to date, situating his career as a manuscript-publishing poet alongside his academic and clerical careers and social and literary contexts. Chapter 2 studies Strode's autograph manuscripts in detail, focusing on an autograph notebook, in which Strode transcribed and revised his poems; a booklet of eight poems which provide insight into how Strode circulated his verse; and a no longer extant, authorial manuscript of Strode's verse, which raises the question of whether or not Strode intended to print his poems in a single-author collection. Chapter 3 follows Strode's poems from these autograph manuscripts into four verse miscellanies compiled by his most prolific collectors, and makes original arguments about how Strode's poems circulated in seventeenth-century Oxford. This chapter ends with a discussion of two poems by Strode, once thought lost to scholarship. Chapter 4 moves from Christ Church to consider the social and textual coordinates of Strode's Oxford, and non-Oxford readers, offering reconsiderations and revisions of arguments about the provenance of a range of verse miscellanies. Chapter 5 considers the reception of Strode's poetry in the verse miscellany, and uses this evidence to refine theorizations of 'social editing' and 'textual malleability', before offering guidelines towards an edition of Strode's English verse.

Abstract:
The handwritten recognition system is a process of learning a pattern from a given image of text. The recognition process usually combines a computer vision task with sequence learning techniques. Transcribing texts from the scanned image remains a challenging problem, especially when the documents are highly degraded, or have excessive dusty noises. Nowadays, there are several handwritten recognition systems both commercially and in free versions, especially for Latin based languages. However, there is no prior study that has been built for Ge’ez handwritten ancient manuscript documents. In contrast, the language has many mysteries of the past, in human history of science, architecture, medicine and astronomy. In this thesis, we present two separate recognition systems. (1) A character-level recognition system which combines computer vision for character segmentation from ancient books and a vanilla Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to recognize characters. (2) An end- to- end segmentation free handwritten recognition system using CNN, Multi-Dimensional Recurrent Neural Network (MDRNN) with Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) for the Ethiopic (Ge’ez) manuscript documents. The proposed character label recognition model outperforms 97.78% accuracy. In contrast, the second model provides an encouraging result which indicates to further study the language properties for better recognition of all the ancient books.
Det handskrivna igenkännings systemet är en process för att lära sig ett mönster från en viss bild av text. Erkännande Processen kombinerar vanligtvis en datorvisionsuppgift med sekvens inlärningstekniker. Transkribering av texter från den skannade bilden är fortfarande ett utmanande problem, särskilt när dokumenten är mycket försämrad eller har för omåttlig dammiga buller. Nuförtiden finns det flera handskrivna igenkänningar system både kommersiellt och i gratisversionen, särskilt för latin baserade språk. Det finns dock ingen tidigare studie som har byggts för Ge’ez handskrivna gamla manuskript dokument. I motsats till detta språk har många mysterier från det förflutna, i vetenskapens mänskliga historia, arkitektur, medicin och astronomi. I denna avhandling presenterar vi två separata igenkänningssystem. (1) Ett karaktärs nivå igenkänningssystem som kombinerar bildigenkänning för karaktär segmentering från forntida böcker och ett vanilj Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) för att erkänna karaktärer. (2) Ett änd-till-slut-segmentering fritt handskrivet igenkänningssystem som använder CNN, Multi-Dimensional Recurrent Neural Network (MDRNN) med Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) för etiopiska (Ge’ez) manuskript dokument. Den föreslagna karaktär igenkännings modellen överträffar 97,78% noggrannhet. Däremot ger den andra modellen ett uppmuntrande resultat som indikerar att ytterligare studera språk egenskaperna för bättre igenkänning av alla antika böcker.

Abstract:
L’École nationale des chartes a ouvert aux conservateurs de bibliothèque et du patrimoine un doctorat sur travaux en 2016. Celui que je présente se compose d’un mémoire de synthèse et d’un dossier de travaux. Le mémoire proprement dit est divisé en deux chapitres. Le premier est consacré à la présentation de mes travaux de recherche sur les manuscrits médiévaux dans des domaines variés (histoire des bibliothèques, iconographie et enluminure), des méthodes employées et des résultats obtenus. A travers des méthodes d’approche transversales empruntant aussi bien aux disciplines historiques traditionnelles qu’à l’anthropologie ou aux théories sur l’image, mon objectif est d’appréhender le manuscrit à la fois dans sa globalité et dans sa foisonnante diversité, ainsi que de considérer la place que celui-ci occupe dans le champ de l’histoire culturelle et artistique du Moyen Âge. Le second chapitre fait le point sur les investigations que je mène depuis plusieurs années sur les manuscrits enluminés en France aux Xe et XIe siècles et contextualise celles-ci par rapport à l’historiographie. J’y esquisse un panorama des études sur les manuscrits enluminés du haut Moyen Âge entre le XVIIIe siècle et le début du XXe siècle, à la lumière du médiévalisme et de l’histoire des collections. La conclusion propose quelques pistes de réflexion sur la réception de l’art alto-médiéval en interrogeant sa place dans le champ de l’art contemporain à travers l’évocation de différents projets en chantier. Un dossier de travaux, qui se compose de livres et d’articles dont la liste suit et dont les versions électroniques ont été transmises aux membres du jury, vient compléter le mémoire
The Ecole nationale des chartes offers a specific research-based doctoral programme for heritage curators as well as those who work in libraries since 2016. The one I am presenting consists of a dissertation and a file of reseach papers. The thesis itself is divided into two chapters. The first is devoted to the presentation of my research work on medieval manuscripts in various fields (history of libraries, iconography and illumination), with methodological explanations and their results. Through transversal methodological approaches wich borrow as much from traditional historical disciplines as from anthropology or theories on the image, my objective is to understand the manuscript both in its entirety and in its abundant diversity, thus than to consider the place that it occupies in the field of the cultural and artistic history of the Middle Ages. The second chapter takes stock of the investigations that I have been carrying out for several years on illuminated manuscripts in France in the 10th and 11th centuries, and contextualizes these in relation to historiography. In it, I sketch a panorama of studies on illuminated manuscripts of the early Middle Ages between the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century, in the light of medievalism and the history of collections. The conclusion offers some avenues for reflection on the reception of alto-medieval art by questioning its place in the field of contemporary art through the evocation of various projects underway. A dossier, which consists of books and articles listed below and whose electronic versions have been sent to the members of the jury, completes the thesis

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century manuscript and print contexts of Older Scots romance. Building on recent developments in Middle English romance scholarship and Older Scots book history, it seeks to contextualise the surviving corpus of Older Scots romances in light of their unique material witnesses and contemporary cultural milieu. Chapters 1 to 8 focus respectively on the following Older Scots romances: the Octosyllabic Alexander, the Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour, Florimond, Lancelot of the Laik, King Orphius and Sir Colling, Golagros and Gawane and Rauf Coilyear, the Scottish Troy Book, and Clariodus. The conclusion assesses and evaluates the most significant and recurring features of these chapters and reveals how they cumulatively deepen our understanding of the book-producing and book-owning culture of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Scotland. The conclusion also looks forward to new witness- conscious editions of Older Scots romance that endeavour to represent as far as possible a text’s unique and idiosyncratic manuscript and print contexts. In each chapter I examine the set romance’s primary contexts of composition, including authorship, date, and first audience, as well as its secondary publication contexts. A full palaeographical, codicological and bibliographical description of each manuscript and print is provided, with details of when, where and by whom each witness was produced. Information about when and where that witness was read is also given, with details of the owners and readers where known. Significant attention is paid to the use of titles, rubrication and mise-en-page to reveal the trends and bibliographical codes in copying and presentation. Where appropriate, the compilation choices made by scribes and readers are also analysed. Careful assessments of these are shown to aid modern thematic and comparative literary interpretation. Most notably, each chapter of this thesis also provides much-needed new information about fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Scottish literary communities. Several significant and often-overlapping circles of scribes, readers and owners are revealed. The familial, professional and geographical associations between these groups of producers and consumers are traced and consequently new book- publishing and book-owning networks are documented. In further original work, a number of hitherto unknown texts, scribes and readers are also successfully identified.

Abstract:
Of the various periods in the lute's history, that which is chronologically closest to us - the 18th century - is ironically the least familiar. The lute is strongly associated with Elisabethan England through well known composers such as John Dowland, and the 17th century French lutenists' influence on the style brise clavecin composers is similarly well documented. However, the generations of German lutenists working after c.1720 are largely unfamiliar today. One explanation is that by this time the lute had lost the preeminence which it had enjoyed in previous centuries, its position as the main chordal-, dynamically flexible instrument having been supplanted by the piano-forte. Also, writers such as Mattheson criticised the lute for being exceptionally hard to play and tune, as well as excessively expensive to maintain.2 Moreover, the gradual abandonment of the continuo concept deprived the lute of its accompanimental role. Thus, 18th century lutenists were writing for an increasingly obsolescent instrument. However, they were very productive and technically innovative, and the treasury of 18th century lute music constitutes a rich, interesting and idiomatic contribution to the repertory of the instrument. Few of the works were ever published, however, and the bulk of the repertory is preserved in MSS in various museums and libraries, which thus renders it inaccessible. The notation presents a further difficulty, since virtually all of this music was written in tablature - a notation which few scholars read. Although Sweden's contribution to the history of the lute was never major, a relatively large amount of lute music is preserved in Swedish libraries, museums and foundations. Most of these have been treated in a series of articles by Kenneth Sparr in the Swedish Guitar and Lute Society Journal,3 but there are no thorough studies of Swedish lute MSS, with the sole exception of Bengt Hambreaus' Codex Carminum Gallicorum,4 translated into French. Furthermore, articles on Swedish lute MSS in international languages are even less common, and consequently knowledge about the music concerned is inaccessible to the international audience of players and scholars. The aforementioned situations provided the author with ample justification for writing this paper.
