McGuire, Nancy Ross. "The Dornie Manuscripts." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2001. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.288358.
Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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 In addition, the unsigned drawings can now be attributed to individual artists on stylistic criteria, and, using unpublished journals and correspondence, the two journeys of 1815 and 1818-9 can be reconstructed.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.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MMus)--Stellenbosch University, 1993.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).

Full textAbstract:
SpanishPh.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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the compilatory dynamics of manuscripts containing francophone story collections in verse. It investigates how the hermeneutic, textual and paratextual frameworks of story collections, as ‘models’ of compilation, were conceived and read in multi-text codices, analysing in particular how paratext shapes textual boundaries, and how ideological agendas are established. The corpus comprises the manuscripts of three different story collections in order to illustrate common compilatory processes (modification, interpolation, extension, continuation, etc.) as well as the extent to which the specific character of the framework (and ‘generic’ identity) of the story collection affects its dissemination. Chapter one addresses the five extant manuscripts of the Fables Pierre Aufons, one of two thirteenth-century French verse translations of Petrus Alfonsi’s highly influential Disciplina clericalis. The dynamic approach to reading in this story collection framed by a father-son exchange is reflected in the variety of its co-texts. The diversity of the corpus illustrates its semantic malleability. By contrast, in chapter two, the multi-text codices of the Old French verse Vie des Pères are characterised less by the heterogeneity of their content than the multiple configurations of this story collection. Hence, the principal focus is the textual and paratextual organisation of the manuscripts and how other material is integrated into the Vie des Pères. The final chapter brings together the principal approaches from the previous two case studies in its investigation of the manuscripts of the Ysopet attributed to Marie de France, examining in particular how the manuscripts construct the figure of the author and how this affects the reception of the fable collection. By considering the reading practices underlying composition, compilation and manuscript production, and how textual and paratextual frameworks affect the reading experience offered by story collections and their co-texts, this thesis engages with the layers of reading embedded within the texts and inscribed in the codex. Moreover, it looks at how we, as modern readers, approach the medieval book.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about networks in seventeenth-century England: the making and re-shaping of networks of people and texts, and the ways in which they evolved and transformed. It focuses on the manuscripts collected by Dr Thomas Plume (1630-1704), vicar of Greenwich and archdeacon of Rochester, who left them with a substantial body of books and pamphlets to the Library he endowed in Maldon. They take the form of notebooks and papers complied by a number of different clergymen, in particular Dr Robert Boreman (d.1675) and Dr Edward Hyde (1607-1659), in addition to Plume. The significance of the research lies in its reconstruction of the intellectual lives of the middle-status loyalist clergy through their handwritten texts. The research intervenes into debates about the nature and status of the manuscript form in an age of print and asks why these texts were left with the Library. The content and material form of these notebooks and papers evidence the reading and writing practices of the middle-status clergy, and the ways they were able to use their positions to influence and persuade on local and national levels. The main sections of the thesis encompass: a critical analysis of the manuscript collection; an examination of why the manuscripts were created and re-used; an appraisal of themes of identity, memorial, and legacy reflected within them; and the relationship between the handwritten items and printed books. This thesis argues that these seemingly-ephemeral texts were in fact the ‘heart’ of Plume’s library collection, representing a network of clergymen whose commitment to each other’s work extended as far as if they had been related by blood. Their working papers symbolised a memorial to their scholarship, saved for posterity under the shadow of destruction and loss during the Civil Wars.

The personal papers of these writers have undergone a corresponding increase in their research and monetary value. Literary papers have therefore become highly attractive to archival repositories and libraries, many of which compete to acquire these papers through sales or donations. Open-market competition may be advantageous to authors because it allows them to sell their papers to the highest bidder, but it is harmful to archivists because it creates animosity within the archival community, inflates prices and causes collections to be split. This clash of interests between authors and archivists, and among archivists themselves, must be resolved if literary papers are to be preserved and administered properly.
A questionnaire was sent to 29 Canadian repositories to determine the ways in which archivists deal with the complex issues associated with acquiring literary papers: acquisition policies; acquisition budgets; the suitability of certain types of institutions to acquire literary papers; copyright/literary rights; tax credits; monetary appraisal; and automation. Results from this survey indicate that an increasing number of archival institutions now recognize the need for developing systematic collections policies in order to reduce competition and encourage cooperation among archivists. However, the majority of institutions in Canada still do not have any formal written policies for acquiring literary papers and have no plans to develop such policies in the near future. It will be some time, therefore, before a complete cooperative network among archivists in Canada becomes a reality.
Diverse types of institutions acquire literary papers; university archives and special collections, provincial archives, the National Archives and National Library of Canada, and smaller thematic archives are all involved in this type of acquisition. The survey sought respondents' opinions on this question: can or should the acquisition of literary papers be limited to certain types of institutions? Judging from the responses, the answer is a qualified no. Universities are a logical repository for authors' papers because literary research is largely an academic activity, but it is not possible to prevent other types of institutions from acquiring in this area through laws or regulations. Donor preferences play a critical role; ultimately it is the author or his executors who have the last word on where the author's papers are deposited.
The author-archivist relationship lies at the heart of this issue. The onus is on the archivist to educate authors on the nature and function of archives and the legal implications of acquisition. Archivists can also educate themselves regarding authors' economic concerns and the literary activities which produce their records; such understanding will help to resolve the conflicts between authors and archivists and improve acquisition negotiations. Finally, archivists need to develop more systematic written acquisitions policies for literary papers in order to reduce competition and ensure the continued preservation of this important cultural resource.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Collecting recipes was an established tradition that continued in elite English households throughout the eighteenth century. This thesis is on medical recipes and advice, and it addresses the evolution of recipe collecting from the seventeenth century and throughout the eighteenth century. It investigates elite domestic medicine within a cultural history of medicine framework and uses social and material history approaches to reveal why elites continued to collect medical recipes, given the commercialisation of medicine. This thesis contends that the meaning of domestic medicine must be understood within a wider context of elite healthcare in order to appreciate how the recipe collecting tradition evolved alongside cultural shifts, and shifts within the medical economy. My re-appraisal of the meaning of domestic medicine gives elite healthcare a clearer role within the narrative of the social history of medicine. Elite healthcare was about choice. Wealthy individuals had economic agency in consumerism, and recipe compilers interacted with new sources of information and products; recipe books are evidence of this consumer engagement. In addition to being household objects, recipe books had cultural significance as heirlooms, and as objects of literacy, authority, and creativity. A crucial reason for the continuation of the recipe collecting tradition was due to its continued engagement with cultural attitudes towards social obligation, knowledge exchange, taste, and sociability as an intellectual pursuit. Positioning the household as an important space of creativity, experiment, and innovation, this thesis reinforces domestic medicine as an important part of the interconnected histories of science and medicine. This thesis moreover contributes to the social history of eighteenth-century England by demonstrating the central role domestic medicine had in elite healthcare, and reveals the elite reception of the commercialisation of medicine from a consumer perspective through an investigation of personal records of intellectual pastimes and patient experiences.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an interdisciplinary approach to a 12th century illuminated manuscript, a Leccionarium
(Alc. 433), produced in Alcobaça Monastery which currently is being preserved at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal in
Lisbon.
The aim of the work was to trace the biography of this illuminated manuscript, through the liturgical studies
and to obtain the chronological timeline of the use of materials in Alcobaça scriptorium, through centuries. The
representative folia of Alc. 433 were characterised with h-XRF, UV-Vis-NIR-FORS, and hyperspectral images.
The result indicates that Alc. 433 was produced in the last quarter of the 12th century, followed by addition of
some folia in 13th, 14th, and the beginning of 17th century. Materials identification revealed the use of different
pigments in different periods: vermilion and minium (red), copper proteinate (bottle green), yellow lake pigments,
azurite and lapis lazuli (blue). The PCA study of yellow lake dye reproduction indicates the use of turmeric yellow
lake pigment in the initial core. Furthermore, the analysis of iron gall ink also shows that the initial core of Alc. 433
contains the similar ratios of elements with Alc. 11 (primitive manuscript of Alcobaça) thus proved the Alc. 433 was
also the produced in the earliest period of the active year of Alcobaça scriptorium; RESUMO:
O Estudo da Trajetória Biográfica do Manuscrito Português Iluminado do Século XII:
Leccionarium Alc. 433 da Coleção de Alcobaça Detida pela Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal
Esta tese apresenta uma abordagem interdisciplinar de um manuscrito iluminado do século XII, um
Leccionarium (Alc. 433), produzido no Mosteiro de Alcobaça e que se encontra preservado na Biblioteca Nacional
de Portugal em Lisboa.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi traçar a biografia deste manuscrito iluminado, através do seu estudo litúrgico e
obter a linha cronológica da utilização de materiais no scriptorium de Alcobaça, ao longo dos séculos. Os fólios mais
representativos do Alc. 433 foram caracterizados h-XRF, UV-Vis-NIR-FORS e imagens hiperespectrais.
O resultado indica que o Alc. 433 foi produzido no último quarto do século XII, e que foi enriquecido com a
adição de fólios e/ou cadernos nos séculos XIII, XIV e inícios do século XVII. A identificação dos materiais revelou
o uso de diferentes pigmentos em diferentes períodos: vermelhão e minium (vermelho), proteinato de cobre (verde
garrafa), pigmento lago amarelo, azurite e lápis-lazúli (azul). O estudo PCA da reprodução do corante lago amarelo
indica o uso de açafrão no núcleo inicial do pigmento. Além disso, a análise das tintas de escrita evidenciou uma
analogia de composição da tinta ferrogálica utilizada no núcleo inicial do manuscrito Alc.433 e da tinta ferrogálica
utilizada no texto do Alc.11 (outro manuscrito produzido nos primeiros anos do scriptorium de Alcobaça) o que
comprovou assim que também o Alc. 433 foi produzido na mesma época, isto é, em torno de 1175.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout Victoria's reign, Lord Lindsay and his son Ludovic, respectively twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth earls of Crawford, created one of the largest private libraries ever assembled in Britain. The Bibliotheca Lindesiana included some six thousand manuscripts, which Ludovic sold to Enriqueta Rylands in 1901 for £155,000. The principal problematic that I address in this thesis is: Why did the earls of Crawford invest vast amounts of financial and cultural capital in this endeavour? In other words, what factors - both structural and specific - led to the formation of the library, what purposes did it serve, and what roles did its manuscript components in particular perform? Other questions include: How - and how successfully - did Lindsay and Ludovic maintain physical and intellectual control over the rapidly growing library? How did they position themselves within networks of connoisseurship and collecting in Victorian Britain? How was the formation of the Oriental manuscript collections connected with Lindsay's interest in racial classification and with wider racial discourses? And how did the library reflect and reinforce Lindsay's identity as a gentleman-scholar? Previous studies of this and other manuscript collections have adhered to an antiquarian, bio-bibliographical model, focusing on the detailed matter and mechanisms of collecting, rather than exploring the socio-cultural and epistemological contexts of their development. This thesis, by contrast, constitutes the first extended application of cultural theory to a manuscript collection, or indeed to any private library, in the nineteenth century. I combine close archival work with Bourdieu's concepts of field, capital and habitus to reveal the complex structuration and signification of the library, and to investigate the imbrication between the earls' personal agency and wider forces operating upon the library. My examination of the Bibliotheca Lindesiana has uncovered several key issues and themes hitherto unexplored in this or any other major private library of the nineteenth century. First, I argue that the reasons for the library's development reside principally in various forms of classification, which preoccupied Lindsay and reflected wider societal trends and taxonomies: the classification of libraries and the ramification of knowledge; Lindsay's deployment of the library to corroborate his and his family's social and cultural distinction (i.e. social classification); and an interest in racial classification, which reflected Orientalist discourses associated with imperialism. Secondly, while the dispersal of aristocratic collections in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is a familiar trope, this study is the first to contextualize the decline of a private library within the struggle between the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie. Finally, this is the first examination of the impact of professionalization upon private as opposed to public libraries, revealing the tensions between amateur traditions and growing professionalism and specialization in the nineteenth century. I thus 'read' through the library some of the wider socio-economic and cultural issues operating in Victorian Britain and its empire.

Full textAbstract:
Manuscript recipe books come in all shapes and sizes and run from tens to hundreds of pages. Those from the eighteenth century are not exclusively culinary, also incorporating medical, veterinary and household recipes. Surviving examples are almost all from genteel or elite households, the people who had time and resources to create them, and are preserved in local archives or dedicated collections. This thesis examines the medical recipes in particular and considers their role at a time when alternatives to domestic healthcare were proliferating: increasing numbers of physicians and surgeons, a growth in apothecaries’ shops, commercial offerings such as proprietary medicines and a variety of irregular practitioners. Advice and remedies in print were also widely available in books, periodicals and newspapers. This is the largest study of eighteenth-century manuscript medical recipes yet undertaken, encompassing 241 collections and a total of 19,134 recipes. It begins by considering the collections themselves as material objects, rather than merely text, which no other major study in this area has done. The range of recipes and ailments are assessed against prevalent illnesses and causes of death, and variations in recipe types identified regionally and temporally. Detailed case studies of coughs and colds, gout, hydrophobia, diet drinks and Daffy’s Elixir illustrate the variety of ingredients and methods, as well as regimens for health and differences by gender and age. Examination of compilers and contributors of recipes demonstrates that both women and men were involved in this practice. Recipe exchange is delineated as a form of social currency requiring trust and reciprocity, and case studies show how knowledge circulated through three forms of network: familial, sociable and political. Finally, a major contribution of this thesis is that it identifies manuscript medical recipe collections as fulfilling four important functions for their compilers: oeconomic, symbolic, personalised and instrumental.

Full textAbstract:
Fakhr al-Din al-Razi is a significant philosopher who is famous for his critics on Avicenna. He also made effective dialogues between two rival doctrines (namely Kalam and Peripateticism) in the Islamic world in Middle Ages. He defended Kalam Atomism in last decades of his life. This thesis is working on his two treatises as manuscripts and translating it into English. One of the treatises is about proving atom and another one is rejecting Hylomorphism. These two treatises are attached together as a manuscript book titled as Proving AtomismAu Moyen Âge, dans le monde islamique, il y avait deux groupes d'érudits qui avaient deux indications différentes sur l'existence. Le premier groupe était des philosophes, ḥukamā, qui ont approuvé falsafah ou ḥikmah. Cette doctrine avait des bases aristotéliciennes. Un autre groupe était des théologiens, mutikalimūn qui était pour la plupart atomistes. Les théologiens constituaient le kalām qui se traduisait parfois par théologie islamique.Fakhr-e-Razi ou Fakhr al-Din al-Razi était un philosophe et théologien important au 12ème siècle qui a fait des dialogues et des débats entre ces deux doctrines. Il a écrit des critiques sur les livres d'Avicenne et a défendu la doctrine de l'atomisme de Kalam. Bien qu'il ait défendu l'atomisme de Kalam dans beaucoup de livres, il a écrit un traité indépendant sur ce sujet. Cette thèse est l'édition et la traduction d'un livre manuscrit qui comprend deux traités indépendants, dont l'un, prouve atomisme et un autre réfute Hylémorphisme.Cette thèse inclut des commentaires sur l'atomisme et l'hylémorphisme (l'introduction du livre). L'atomisme comme vue générale et l'atomisme de Kalam en particulier sont étudiés. L'histoire de l'atomisme est brièvement passée en revue en tant que racines de l'atomisme de Kalam. Puis la vue de Razi sur l'atomisme est étudiée selon ce livre présent et ses autres livres. Le contraste entre la vision de Razi et la doctrine d'Avicenne comme son rival sont également analysés

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the work of antiquary and scholar Joseph Ritson (1752-1803) in publishing significant and influential collections of early English and Scottish literature, including the first collection of medieval romance, by going beyond the biographical approaches to Ritson's work typical of nineteenth- and twentieth-century accounts, incorporating an analysis of Ritson's contributions to specific fields into a study of the context which made his work possible. It makes use of the 'Register of Manuscripts Sent to the Reading Room of the British Museum' to shed new light on Ritson's use of the manuscript collections of the British Museum. The thesis argues that Ritson's early polemic attacks on Thomas Warton, Thomas Percy, and the editors of Shakespeare allowed Ritson to establish his own claims to expertise and authority, built upon the research he had already undertaken in the British Museum and other public and private collections. Through his publications, Ritson experimented with different strategies for organizing, systematizing, interpreting and presenting his research, constructing very different collections for different kinds of texts, and different kinds of readers. A comparison of Ritson's three major collections of songs - A Select Collection of English Songs (1783), Ancient Songs (1790), and Scotish Songs (1794) - demonstrates some of the consequences of his decisions, particularly the distinction made between English and Scottish material. Although Ritson's Robin Hood (1795) is the most frequently reprinted of his collections, and one of the best studied, approaching this work within the immediate context of Ritson's research and other publications, rather than its later reception, offers some explanation for its more idiosyncratic features. Finally, Ritson's Ancient Engleish Metrical Romance's (1802) provides a striking example of Ritson's participation in collaborative networks and the difficulty of finding an audience and a market for editions of early English literature at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis consists of two parts: a creative element and a critical element. The creative element is an historical novel, Buried; the critical piece is an historical forensic analysis of two contested letters from the Forrest Reid Manuscript Collection. The novel is set in Belfast in 1923 and draws on real events. The protagonist, District-Inspector Michael Carrington, has returned from leave of absence. He is appointed to run a barracks and help colleagues prepare for a War Office inspection of the new Northern Ireland police force. He becomes involved in an investigation into the deaths of two infants and, troubled by past events, he attempts to bring to justice members of a gang he believes were responsible for two atrocities. The contested letters of the critical piece are dated 1926 and are recorded in the Forrest Reid Collection catalogue as, 'Short pencil manuscripts by FR purporting to be love letters from Sadie. Melodramatic in tone. Perhaps notes for character FR developing.' There is no unequivocal evidence from within the Collection or in the biographical or critical work on Reid to support the claim that they are creative-developmental work or that they were authored by Reid. Nor is it likely that Reid was the 'Beloved' addressee of the letters. Using methods from forensic linguistics and forensic document examination I investigated the probability of Reid being the author. The analysis, in comparison with documents known to have been written by him, comprised an examination of stylistic markers including grammar, syntax and sociolinguistic features as well as handwriting. It revealed significant differences between the letters and the known writing, leading to the conclusion that Reid probably did not write the letters. Further work on particulars within the letters strongly indicates that they are genuine personal letters written by 'Sadie'.

Full textAbstract:
Ce sujet propose de déconstruire les discours qui ont conduit à fixer dès le Moyen Age une mémoire officielle des origines chrétiennes du diocèse. Cette lecture est essentielle dans la mesure où l'historiographie a longtemps utilisé les récits hagiographiques sans réfléchir au contexte de leur genèse et de leur diffusion. Des travaux récents ont montré combien l'hagiographie était en fait un genre littéraire qui reproduisait un certain nombre de modèles et que l'historicité des vies de saints reposait seule dans le contexte qui les avait vu naître.Il s'agit d'étudier les saints évêques supposés avoir vécu avant l’an mil, et s'intéresser à l'évolution de leur figure jusqu'à la fin du Moyen Age pour étudier la mémoire épiscopale dont l'hagiographie est le principal-mais non unique- vecteur. La question de la dimension politique de la sainteté, du culte des saints et de l'écriture hagiographique est en outre en plein renouvellement. Le Languedoc permet de conduire une première étude de cas régionale pour tester les constatations qui ont été faites ailleurs dans ce domaine. La problématique centrale de la thèse est donc la question de la mémoire et de ses enjeux politiques. Un inventaire raisonné servira de fondement à une synthèse permettant de comprendre dans quelle mesure la sainteté locale a participé à la construction d’un discours mémoriel sur les origines chrétiennes du diocèse. Ainsi, on comprendra ce qui, à plusieurs périodes du Moyen Age, a pesé dans la perception du passé mais on pourra appréhender également, une fois les différentes strates des discours sur le passé collectif du diocèse analysées, la réalité des changements politiques et territoriaux dans le Languedoc de l'Antiquité Tardive et du haut Moyen AgeIn order to study the relationship between hagiographic production and the formation of a memory of Christian origins, it is necessary to update the sources by analyzing the transmission of hagiographic texts and the establishment of new editions of these texts. What emerges in a study of fifteen dioceses in the South of France is a pattern which demonstrates that since Late Antiquity, the traditions that founded local churches were put into writing with the goal of shaping a memory of these events that was meaningful in the present time. Hagiographic tales were elaborated in periods of crisis, as if hagiography could pacify the present by evading the past's turpitudes at the service of competing powers who invented their own history. The Medieval period was marked by several phases of deeper embellishment of the hagiographic memory, as the figures of bishop saints was useful to both clergy and laymen. In particular, the relationship between cultural memory and hagiography crystallizes around places, marked by the presence of the saint through its relics, whose location in urban space often allows to explain the origin and the uses of Christian memory. This connection with sacred space forms a hagiographic productionwhich can be seen as a local adaptation of sacred history up to the 14th century, when the papacy's move to Avignon marked the last great phase of hagiographic production in the Southern France of the Medieval Period

Full textAbstract:
The Special Collections of the Cadbury Research Library at the University of Birmingham hold seven early Qur’ānic pieces on parchment and papyrus dating from the seventh century. Alphonse Mingana purchased them from the antiquarian dealer von Scherling in 1936. Through investigation of the private correspondence of Mingana and archival documents, this research provides new information about the origin and history of the fragments, whose reception has been influenced by the European cultural context at the beginning of the twentieth century, in contrast with the public image proposed in catalogues, official documents and previous studies. Furthermore, this research is an attempt to initiate an alternative perspective in analysing and editing the physical objects and texts of early Qur’ānic manuscripts by applying digital philology, thus using XML-encoded expressions to transcribe all of the richness of manuscripts in reconstructing the history of their transmission. This perspective interprets the process of the making of the manuscript text and the context in which the manuscript was written, thus editing its mobile and multi-layered text, differently from previous examples of the edition of early Qur’ānic manuscripts.

Full textAbstract:
The novel manuscript Blue Horses (published as Dust, by Random House Australia under its Woolshed Press Imprint, July 2009) focuses on a dusty corner of 1970’s Queensland in this evocative tale of family, shadows that hang over from childhood and beauty found in unexpected places. Its protagonist, Cecilia Maria, was named after saints and martyrs to give her something to live up to. “Over my dead body,” she vows. Her battles with a six-pack of brothers and the despised Kapernicke girls from the farm next door teach her an unforgettable lesson that echoes down through the years. Now she’s heading back to where it all began, with teenagers Jed and Jenna reluctantly in tow. She plans to dance on a grave and track down some ghosts. Instead she learns a new lesson at the gravesite of an old enemy.
The exegesis examines Jung’s concept of the Shadow Archetype as a catalyst for individuation in writing for young adults. It discusses the need to re-vision Jung’s work within a feminist framework and contrasts it to Julia Kristeva’s work on the abject. Alyssa Brugman’s Walking Naked and Sonya Hartnett’s Sleeping Dogs are analysed in relation to these concepts and lead into my own creative reflections on, and justification for, use of the Shadow conceptual framework. In following my shadow and establishing a creative dialogue between my conscious intent and unconscious inspirations, I have discovered a writing self that is “other” to the professional writer persona of my past.

Suite à une étude approfondie d'un corpus de 74 manuscrits enluminés des Décrétales de Grégoire IX, texte officiel majeur du XIIIe siècle, une classification géographique et chronologique a pu être établie. Cette étude a contribué à révéler un patrimoine insoupçonné issu des centres universitaires parisien, angevin et méridionaux ainsi que de centres secondaires. L'enseignement du droit dans ces centres universitaires, entre le second quart du XIIIe siècle et le milieu du XIVe siècle est à l'origine même de la diffusion de cette collection qui a pour but de régir la vie de tous les baptisés. De surcroît, les cycles peints offrent un commentaire extratextuel qui véhicule un message politique. Celui-ci se détourne parfois du texte officiel afin de mobiliser le lecteur sur des problèmes concrets touchant à l'Eglise de France et relayés dans la législation conciliaireBased on a corpus of 74 illuminated manuscripts, we managed to elaborate a geographical and chronological classification. The university centres of Paris, Anjou, and the South of France proved to be the main production centres. These manuscripts aimed to rule the baptised lives and as such the production was widespread at a time when canon law started to be teach in the above university centres from the second quarter of the 13th century till the middle of the 14th century. The painted programs pass the reader a message which is different from the official text and relates to political issues regarding the French Church which are also raised by the conciliar legislation

Full textAbstract:
Malgré les similitudes et l'existence possible d'une source commune, le B. N. Nouv. Acq. Fr. 15771 et le B. N. Fr. 9223 sont deux recueils lyriques collectifs qui n'ont pas été recopiés l'un sur l'autre. Ils nous offrent une image de ce qu'était la poésie bretonne de langue française au milieu du XVe siècle. La deuxième partie du B. N. Fr. 9223 nous apporte un témoignage important sur l'activité poétique du milieu de Jacques de Luxembourg - Richebourg. Premier jalon de notre étude, l'influence exercée par Charles d'Orléans à travers les poèmes dits " de concours ". La thématique tourne autour de deux axes : l'amour purement conventionnel et l'amour désenchanté qui semble de plus en plus inspiré par la réalité trouvent leur expression dans l'emploi systématique de la rime équivoquée et dérivative ainsi que dans l'utilisation de l'accumulation et de la contradiction. Amour et malheur sont presque consubstantiels. Dans ces livres d'amour, la mort n'apparaît qu'accessoirement comme un ornement banal. Le " Débat du jeune et du vieux " ainsi que le " Débat de Vie et de Mort " qui encadrent les poésies courtes ont mérité une approche à part. Blosseville, Vaillant, Antoine de Cuise et Jacques de Luxembourg-Richebourg sont parmi les poètes les plus représentésDespite the similarities and possible existence of a common source, the B. N. Nouv. Acq. Fr. 15771 and the B. N. Fr. 9223 are two collective lyrical anthologies that have not been copied out one over the other. They offer us an aspect of what Breton poetry was like in the French language in the middle of the fifteenth century. The second part of the B. N. Fr. 9223 bears upon an important account of poetic activity in Jacques de Luxembourg-Richebourg's milieu. The first stage of our study, is the influence that had been practiced by Charles d'Orléans throughout poems known as "de concours". The thematic evolves around two axes: that of purely conventional love and that of disenchanted love which seems to have been more and more inspired by reality which, in turn, find their means of expression through the systematic use of "équivoquée" rhyme, "dérivative" rhyme and through the use of accumulatory ("accumulation") and contrapuntal ("contradiction") elements. Love and despair are almost consubstantial. In these "livres d'amour" death appears to be but an accessory, like a commonplace ornament. The "Débat du jeune et du vieux" as well as the "Débat de Vie et de Mort " that encompasses short poetry have acquired a different approch. Blosseville, Vaillant, Antoine de Cuise and Jacques de Luxembourg-Richebourg are amongst the poets that are the most represented in the anthologies mentioned above

La présente étude s’attache à retracer l’histoire textuelle de l’Échelle, encore jamais entreprise, à travers un corpus manuscrit comportant près de 350 codices ; ce corpus est traité exhaustivement du IXe s. au XIIIe s. et partiellement jusqu’au XVIIe s .L’ouvrage composé au VIIe s. est constitué des discours ascétiques de Jean du Sinaï et de plusieurs pièces-annexes. Il est considéré dans la tradition manuscrite comme le livre de l’Échelle (Κλίμαξ) faite de trente degrés, guide spirituel menant au ciel, et son auteur reçoit l’appellation de Climaque (ὁ τῆς Κλίμακος). Les pratiques de lecture de l’ouvrage, sa place dans les recueils et ses emprunts témoignent du rôle important qu’a joué l’Échelle, avec ses aphorismes et ses métaphores, dans la littérature ascétique à Byzance. Un abondant corpus de scholies exégétiques rédigées au Xe s. et développé par des citations d’auteurs ascétiques au XIe s. atteste de la réception originale de l’œuvre de Jean Climaque. Le Commentaire d’Élie de Crète, composé au début du XIIe s. et conservé dans 19 manuscrits, propose une exégèse exhaustive de l’ouvrage en s’appuyant sur les scholies mais aussi sur de nombreuses références patristiques et philosophiques. La présente thèse propose un classement des codices de l’Échelle, de ses scholies et un stemma codicum du Commentaire d’Élie ; tous les manuscrits examinés sont décrits sous forme d’un répertoire. L’étude établit les éditions princeps et critiques de nombreuses scholies et d’une partie du CommentaireThe study relates the textual history of the Ladder, which has never been made attempted before, through a manuscript corpus containing nearly 350 codices exhaustively from the 9th to the 13th and partially up to the 17th century.The work composed in the 7th century is made up of the ascetic discourses of John Sinaites and of a few textual pieces enclosed with them. It is considered in the manuscript tradition as the book of the Ladder (Κλίμαξ) made of thirty steps, spiritual guide leading to Heaven, and its author receives the name of Climacus (ὁ τῆς Κλίμακος). The ways this book was read, its place in the collections and its quotations indicate the important role played by the Ladder, with its aphorisms et metaphors, in the ascetic literature in Byzantium. An abundant corpus of exegetic scholia written in the 10th century and developed in the form of quotations of ascetic authors in the 11th century attests to the original reception of the treatise of John Climacus. The Commentary of Elias of Crete, composed at the beginning of the 12th century and preserved in 19 manuscripts, proposes an exhaustive exegesis of the Ladder, relying on scholia but also on many patristic and philosophical references.The present dissertation establishes a classification of the codices of the Ladder, of its scholia and proposes a stemma codicum of the Elias’ Commentary ; all the examinated manuscripts are described in a repertoire. The study provides Princeps and critical editions of numerous scholia and of a part of the Commentary

Full textAbstract:
From the late-thirteenth through late-fifteenth centuries, among the most frequently produced and widely disseminated books in England were unofficial, common law statute-based miscellanies known as Statuta Angliæ or ‘statute books’. In ca. 1470, a large format, de luxe, yet highly standardized, version of this codicological genre emerged; likely produced on a speculative basis, it survives in approximately two dozen exemplars. This thesis takes as its focus a member of this latter group: Cambridge, MA, Harvard University, Houghton Library, MS Richardson 40 (ca. 1460– 70). After reviewing current scholarship on these codices—examining several key issues and clarifying previous descriptions to enhance our understanding—it endeavours to establish a likely provenance for MS Richardson 40, exploring the ways in which both the manuscript and the broader genre resonate with the life of the proposed patron, Philip Mede (d. 1476), merchant, twice MP, and thrice Mayor of Bristol.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a series of studies in early modern manuscript culture based on Chetham’s Library MS A.4.15 (MC15). These studies develop an understanding of the reception of texts in manuscripts through an analysis of their copying, dissemination and collection: concepts which are linked by their treatment of manuscripts collections as texts whose processes of production are indelibly registered in their physical form. Chapter 1 reviews the methods by which scholars have engaged with manuscript collections, and proposes that a series of ‘object studies’ based on texts from MC15 is a strong way of engaging with the collection, allowing ready comparisons of diverse material characteristics. Chapter 2 extends these arguments through close analysis of the processes of production of several manuscript collections, culminating in an extended critical description of MC15. Chapters 3 to 6 read a series of texts of MC15 in comparison with other copies. Chapter 3 argues that handwriting analysis gives essential evidence for different modes of copying epigrams, and suggests the ways in which they are significant. Chapter 4 presents an account of a verse libel that was copied many times in the seventeenth century; building on the work of the previous chapter, it argues that the material dimension of manuscript libels have a great deal to offer more general narratives of early Stuart history. Chapter 5 concerns letters of the second Earl of Essex, whose reception in various combinations of material in manuscript collections are best contextualised through readings found in print. Chapter 6, a study of metrical psalms, contextualizes the very limited dissemination of metrical psalms by amateur and professional scribes within a ‘psalm culture’ dominated by print. Taken collectively, the chapters of this thesis attest to the heterogeneity of MC15 as a collection; through their attention to processes of copying, dissemination and collection, they demonstrate some of the most characteristic features of early modern manuscripts.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses a change in the ways people composed and engaged with texts during the Warring States (481-221 BCE) period in Early China. It examines changes in the textual sphere as a result of an emergent manuscript culture, that is to say, the increased spread and reliance on manuscript texts for the communication of ideas. This shift moved away from the predominantly oral, commemorative, and ritual use of text in earlier periods, and provided key elements that would function in the text based discourse of the early empires. It influenced the way text across a variety of genres of writing was used and understood, structured and composed, and how it was collected and combined to form new arguments. I focus on texts from the Documents ?, and Odes ? genres, in addition to philosophical texts dealing with the past, and collections of sayings and arguments dealing with questions from cosmological to ethical issues. These materials form the mainstay of Warring States intellectual discourse, and exemplify the following textual developments: 1) the rise of collecting materials into compilations; 2) the emergence of genre classification; 3) the development of new authorship functions, 3) an increase in textual structuring and the integration of lore about the past, 4) the development of commentarial traditions, 5) the emergence of an explicit, self-reflexive understanding of writing and transmission, 6) advances in material structuring of manuscript-texts that interrelate form and content. The analysis is based primarily on excavated materials not edited during the early empires, and engages with comparative and interdisciplinary theory. It argues against models solely based on transmitted sources, which explained Warring States developments as a response to socio-political contexts. Instead, it posits developments in the textual culture itself as a necessary condition to explain the changes in intellectual discourse of the period.

Janus comarius, medecin humaniste originaire de zwickau en saxe, a traduit en ; latin et edite, avec le concours de l'imprimeur baiois jerome froben, une quinzaine d'auteurs grecs de l'antiquite, non seulement des auteurs medicaux comme hippocrate, galien, aetius ou dioscoride, mais aussi des peres de l'eglise, ainsi que les oeuvres completes de platon. L'etablissement d'une bibliographie des editions cornariennes comptant plus de 40 editions originales a permis de reunir un volume de prefaces et de discours dont il est l'auteur, et qui retracent les circonstances dans lesquelles la collection hippocratique fut editee par ses soins entre 1528 et 1558. La redecouverte de tels textes, qui contribue a l'histoire de la \ philologie, l'etude des annotations marginales de son exemplaire de travail, l'aldine ; de 1526, actuellement conservee a gottingen, enfin l'etude de 5 manuscrits grecs ; de la collection hippocratique, ont abouti a l'identification de deux des trois i manuscrits utilises par comarius pour son edition grecque en 1538 chez froben, monacensis gr. 71 et sans doute parisini graeci 2255/2254. L'etude des principaux apports de l'edition latine de 1546 a permis de proposer de nouvelles hypotheses pour l'identification du troisieme manuscrit grec utilise en 1538, a partir de la tradition du traite pseudo-hippocratique de remediis.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to shed light on the collection of Oriental manuscripts at the Uppsala University Library Carolina Rediviva and how the collection is a part of the collective memory. The main question which is central for this thesis is: have orientalism and structures of power influenced the acquisition, arrangement and methods of accessability regarding the Oriental manuscripts? If yes, in what way and why? If no, how has this been avoided? The theoretical framework consists of four approaches: phenomenology, sociology of knowledge, orientalism and power which are applied to the archival concept of collective memory. The main source of material consists of three parts: the historical texts which gives an informational framework regarding the time and place in which the manuscripts were collected, the catalogues in which the manuscripts are described and the transcripted interviews alongside correspondence. Methodologically the thesis is based upon a qualitative method which also partly makes up the foundation for the main material. The methods used are interviews and text studies of manuscript catalogues, historical texts and exhibition catalogues. The usage of manuscript catalogues was, due to the limited time, restricted to one which is written in English, as for the informants they are limited to three. The result of this study shows that the historical foundation on which the Oriental manuscript collection came into existance rests on a basis consisting of orientalism and power structures. This foundation is somewhat reproduced in time and in some ways current regarding the arrangement and methods of accessability both in historical and contemporary approaches.

Full textAbstract:
Si les reliures arabes et islamiques ont connu une immense variété de décors au travers du Moyen-Age, la période allant du XIIIᵉ au XVᵉ siècle représente sans conteste un âge d’or quant à la richesse et la beauté des œuvres réalisées. Si pendant longtemps ce sont les formes géométriques et circulaires qui ont dominé, les conquêtes mongoles dès le XIIIᵉ ont contribuées à la diffusion du décor central en forme de mandorle de la Perse vers l’empire Mamelouk puis vers l’empire Ottoman. Celle-ci était largement utilisée par les relieurs persans dont l’art a certainement connu une influence artistique venant de Chine. Ce sont les artistes persans qui ont porté le décor en forme de mandorle à son plus haut degré de raffinement esthétique. La mandorle n’est apparue dans le répertoire des relieurs mamelouks qu’à partir de la fin du XIVᵉ siècle et a couramment été utilisée à partir de la deuxième moitié du XVᵉ siècle. C’est également à partir de cette période qu’elle apparaît sur les reliures ottomanes avec des mandorles polylobées ornées de belles arabesques et de décors floraux fins et raffinés réalisés de plus en plus souvent sur des fonds dorés. La fin du XVᵉ siècle est marquée par l’apparition des décors réalisés à l’aide de plaque qui va rapidement se répandre et remplacer les mandorles réalisées à l’aide de petits. L’influence esthétique des décors en forme de mandorle fut telle qu’elle se répandit jusque dans les répertoires des décors des reliures de la Renaissance italienne. Cette étude présente l'évolution et la diffusion du décor en forme de mandorle réalisé à l'aide de petits fers du XIIIᵉ au XVᵉ siècle sur la base d'un échantillon composé de quatre-vingt-douze reliuresArab and Islamic bindings offer a very large variety of patterns throughout the Middle Ages. The period from 13th to the 15th century is undoubtedly a golden age regarding the beauty of their ornement and decoration.If during a long time circular and geometric profiles dominated the bindings decoration, the Mongol conquests from the 13th century have contributed to the diffusion of almoond profile from Persia to the Mamluk and Ottoman's bindings. It was widely used by Persian bookbinders whose art has certainly experienced an artistic influence from China. Persian artists have worn the almond shape at its highest degree of aesthetic refinement. The almond profile only appeared into the Mamluk binder's repertoire until the end of the 15th century and commonly used from the second half of 15th century. It is also from this period that it appears on the Ottoman bindings with lobed profiles usually filled with beautiful arabesques and floral ornamentoften on gilded background. In the late 15th century appears the technique of pressure moulding, that involved the pressing of the leather with large stamps. This technique quickly spread and replace almond shape using small stamps. The aesthetic influence of the almond profile was such that it were introduced into the Italian bookbinder's repertoire by the middle of the 15th century. This study presents the developments and dissemination of the almond profile made with small stamps from the 13th to the 15th century on the basis of a sample of ninety two bindings

Full textAbstract:
L’une des composantes de la littérature orale (chants, contes, proverbes,…) de langue bretonne est la gwerz, chanson traditionnelle à caractère souvent historique et fantastique, se transmettant principalement oralement d’une génération à l’autre.L’étude de la langue utilisée dans ces chants permet de mettre en évidence des niveaux de langues différents : si la marque dialectale du chanteur est généralement bien présente, celle de l’utilisation d’un breton standard, se rapprochant du breton littéraire par ses caractéristiques, l’est tout autant.Quelques personnes en Bretagne, principalement issues de la petite noblesse rurale, se sont adonnées au collectage de sa littérature orale (de langue bretonne), à l’instar des autres pays européens, et ceci dès le début du XIXe siècle. Mme de Saint-Prix (1789 -1869) figure parmi ces précurseurs. Les deux manuscrits inédits qui constituent l’essentiel de sa collection (Manuscrit 1 : 97 folios ; Manuscrit 2 : 45 folios), sont actuellement conservés à la bibliothèque de LandévennecOne of the major forms of oral literature in the Breton language – which includes songs, tales, proverbs and sayings- is the gwerz. This form of traditional song, passing on from one generation to another, most often evidences a historical as well as a fantastic character.Studying the language used in these songs helps highlight the existence of several standards or levels of language; indeed, while the dialectal mark of the interpreter generally makes no doubt, the presence of a form of standard Breton can also be noticed.In the early XIXth century, people in Brittany - similarly to what was taking place throughout Europe - started collecting oral literature in the Breton language. Most of the time they came from the lower rural aristocracy. Mme de Saint-Prix (1789-1869) was among these precursors. The two unpublished manuscripts which make the most part of her collection (MS 1 : 97 folios ; MS 2 : 45 folios) are currently kept in the Landevennec library

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this work is to take the methodology developed by Ernest Cowell, and further refined by James R. Royse, of cataloging singular readings of Greek scribes and seek to apply it to Coptic scribes. This study focuses on the text of John found in P. Mich Inv. 3521 and the singular readings of that manuscript. In order to have a basis of comparison, singular readings from two other Coptic versions of John are cataloged as well.1 In total 1619 singular readings have been identified in the three manuscripts.
Following Colwell and Royse, the readings have been further divided into orthographic, sensible and nonsense readings. The sensible and nonsense readings have been further divided and categorized into additions, omissions, substitutions, transpositions and verbal prefixes. All of these entries are then noted in the accompanying database with appropriate commentary so that the reader may format and use the information in a variety of ways.
In addition to the database, detailed commentary has been provided on the singular readings of P. Mich. Inv. 3521 with the following conclusions: Like Greek scribes, Coptic scribes are more likely to omit something than to add something; The category of "transpositions as corrected leaps" which James Royse found useful in his work, has proved unhelpful when dealing with this papyrus; and finally some preliminary analysis about the scribe of P. Mich. Inv. 351 is given.
