Abstract:
Digital palaeography is an emerging research area which aims to introduce digital image processing techniques into palaeographic analysis for the purpose of providing objective quantitative measurements. This paper explores the use of a fully automated handwriting feature extraction, visualization, and analysis system for digital palaeography which bridges the gap between traditional and digital palaeography in terms of the deployment of feature extraction techniques and handwriting metrics. We propose the application of a set of features, more closely related to conventional palaeographic assesment metrics than those commonly adopted in automatic writer identification. These features are emprically tested on two datasets in order to assess their effectiveness for automatic writer identification and aid attribution of individual handwriting characteristics in historical manuscripts. Finally, we introduce tools to support visualization of the extracted features in a comparative way, showing how they can best be exploited in the implementation of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system for digital archiving.

Abstract:
Philosophers who would do history of philosophy (which they must do in order not to impoverish themselves and the discipline they serve) must also occasionally do some philology. The meaning of the text interacts with the language in which it is spoken, and it is informed by it. One need not be a Whorfean to appreciate that there is no text without contexts, and one of the most important of these contexts is the language itself. To what extent the philologist must also become a palaeographer is a question seldom raised even among those who call themselves philologists. Taking our texts not only in written form, but in printed regularity, we tend to focus on the type of expression rather than the token, treating the latter as incidental, irrelevant and uninteresting. I want here to tell a tale of a text with attention to some palaeographic dimensions, hoping to open questions about their philological and philosophical worth. The palaeography may itself be superficial or amateurish, but if the point is well taken at this level, someone more expert may be able to unfold a richer tale.

Abstract:
P.Ryl.iii.457, a papyrus fragment of the gospel of John known to New Testament scholars as P52, is regularly publicised as the earliest extant Christian manuscript and forms a central part of the Rylands collection. Yet the date generally assigned to the fragment (‘about 125 ad’) is based entirely on palaeography, or analysis of handwriting, which cannot provide such a precise date. The present article introduces new details about the acquisition of P52, engages the most recent scholarship on the date of the fragment and argues that the range of possible palaeographic dates for P52 extends into the third century.

Abstract:
Publikowany artykuł Adama Kamińskiego, znakomitego paleografa i edytora staropolskich źródeł historycznych (1905–1981), omawia system skrótów paleograficznych stosowanych przez pisarzy sądu ziemskiego krakowskiego w najstarszej zachowanej księdze tego sądu w Polsce z lat 1374–1385, przechowywanej w Archiwum Narodowym w Krakowie pod sygn. 29/1/1. Autor porównuje go ze skrótami stosowanymi na Zachodzie Europy na podstawie podręczników paleografii i słowników skrótów. Wydawany obecnie tekst jest świadectwem wczesnych zainteresowań i studiów paleograficznych A. Kamińskiego, których wyniki nie mogły być wtedy opublikowane, głównie ze względu na ograniczone możliwości finansowe i techniczne ówczesnych archiwów państwowych. Stanowi jednak cenny i ciekawy, a przy tym nieznany przyczynek do badań nad kancelarią sądów ziemskich w Polsce. Adam Kamiński on the shorthand of the oldest Krakow land register (1374–1385) The article by Adam Kamiński, an outstanding palaeographer and editor of old-Polish historical sources (1905–1981), discusses the system of palaeographic shorthand used by scribes of the Krakow land court in the oldest preserved register of the court in Poland from the years 1374–1385, stored in the National Archives in Krakow with the reference number 29/1/1. The author compares it with the shorthand used in western Europe based on handbooks of palaeography and shorthand dictionaries. The current text is testimony to Kamiński’s early palaeographic interests and studies, whose results were not published at the time, mainly due to the limited financial and technical resources of the state archives. This represents a valuable and interesting, as well as an unknown, contribution to research into land court offices in Poland.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to study the origin and development of Maghribī round scripts, i.e. the highly distinctive writing styles employed in the Arabic manuscripts and documents produced from the 4th/10th century onwards in the western Islamic world, and more specifically in the Iberian Peninsula, North-West Africa, and the Balearic Islands. In order to reconstruct the activity of Maghribī calligraphers, copyists, and secretaries, and to follow the development of their practices, the present work lists and discusses the earliest dated material written in Maghribī scripts, in chronological order: 123 non-Quranic manuscripts, 25 Quranic codices and fragments, nine chancery documents, and two private contracts, all of which produced between 270/883 and 600/1204. The palaeographic analysis of the scripts has made it possible to distinguish between different Maghribī sub-styles and 'schools' of calligraphy, some of which have been given a new definition. A particular attention has been devoted to the geographical and historical context in which these scripts developed - i.e. Umayyad al-Andalus - and to the cultural, and even ideological implications of their use and diffusion throughout North-West Africa. Codicological aspects have also been taken into consideration, such as the quality of scribal supports, the composition of quires and gatherings, the methods of ruling the pages, the choice of inks and pigments of different types, the style and techniques of illumination. Where possible, the autoptic study of the material has been combined with the information offered by primary sources of various kinds (historical treatises, biographical dictionaries, handbooks for notaries ...) so as to present a comprehensive picture of the Maghribī scribal tradition until the Almohad period. The resulting image is that of a calligraphic culture as rich and sophisticated as the eastern one, which constituted a key element in the creation and promulgation of the Andalusī identity throughout the Mediterranean, but whose formative process and full aesthetic range were still poorly understood.

Full text
Abstract:
The fifth-century manuscript known as the Codex Alexandrinus contains the entirety of the Greek Old and New Testaments and is a landmark in the history of the Bible. Though Alexandrinus represents a primary witness to the biblical text, no modern palaeographical or codicological analysis of the manuscript has been performed: the most in-depth studies of the codex pre-date the great papyrological finds of the 20th century. By executing both palaeographical and codicological analyses of the manuscript in light of a modern understanding of the textual history of the Bible and of Hellenistic Greek, and by additionally introducing statistical analysis into what has traditionally been a subjective field of research, this dissertation processes the textual and paratextual data of the manuscript to a degree previously unattained. The focus of the analysis is on the Gospels, which are quite unique in Alexandrinus: they stand at the headwaters of the Byzantine text form; they contain the earliest extant implementation of the Old Greek chaptering system; and the interaction between the unit delimitation and the Eusebian Apparatus in the Gospels is unique among the great uncial manuscripts. However, the analyses extend to both the Old and New Testaments to provide a context in which to study the Gospels. Among the discoveries made in this dissertation, this study overturns the view that a single scribe was responsible for copying the canonical New Testament books and demonstrates that the orthography of the Gospels can no longer be used to argue for the Egyptian provenance of the codex. As the first in-depth study of unit delimitation in the Gospels of Alexandrinus, this work reveals the complex relationship between the paragraphing system, the chaptering structure, and the incorporation of the Eusebian Apparatus from a separate exemplar. Finally, one result of the examination of the Eusebian Apparatus introduces the cascading error as a newly identified category of scribal error.

Rota, Gabriele. "The textual transmission of Cicero's Epistulae ad Brutum, ad Quintum fratrem, and ad Atticum." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/277880.

Full text
Abstract:
My doctorate is a study of the manuscript transmission of Cicero’s Epistulae ad Atticum: a twenty-book corpus comprising one book Ad M. Brutum, three books Ad Quintum fratrem, sixteen books Ad Atticum and a pseudo-Ciceronian Epistula ad Octauianum. I have made a complete reinspection and partial recollation of the eighty-odd fully extant manuscripts, and reconstructed a new stemma codicum that may be used for both historical and editorial purposes. My thesis consists of four chapters, following the transmission of the corpus of Ad Atticum from the Middle Ages down to the Renaissance and the beginning of printing. In Chapter 1 I discuss the top of the stemma: Petrarch’s (1304–74) rediscovery of these letters in the Chapter Library of Verona in 1345, and the beginning of their dissemination in fifteenth-century Italy, thanks to the Florentine Chancellor Coluccio Salutati (1331–1406) and two humanists of his circle: Niccolò Niccoli (1364–1437) and Leonardo Bruni (c. 1370–1444). Editors of Cicero’s letters believe that the top of the stemma is bipartite, and that bipartition reflects separate strands of mediaeval transmission: I argue against their reconstruction and put forward a new pluripartite stemma. In Chapter 1 I also consider manuscripts independent of the Verona archetype: these witnesses survive only in tiny fragments and scattered readings cited by sixteenth-century critics. In Chapter 2 I study the northern Italian progeny of the Veronese archetype: here too I have significantly improved on the editors’ work, thanks to collation of a larger number of independent manuscripts and a more articulated understanding of the intricate dynamics of contamination affecting this branch. In Chapters 3 and 4 I investigate the Florentine transmission of the corpus of Ad Atticum. In Chapter 3 I study the closer descendants of the copy of the Verona archetype that in 1393 came from Milan to Florence at Salutati’s instigation. In Chapter 4 I focus on the thirty-odd descendants of the manuscript that in 1408 the humanist and Papal secretary Poggio Bracciolini (1380–1459) copied for Cosimo de’ Medici (1389–1464). The comprehensive stemmata that I put forward in Chapters 3 and 4 are completely new, since hitherto there has been no systematic attempt to map the genealogy of Salutati’s manuscript.

Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation into scribal method in the Older Scots period. It centres upon the practice of a single scribe, John Ramsay, and his work in a single manuscript, MS Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, Adv. 19. 2. 2 compiled between 1488 and 1489. This manuscript contains the oldest extant copy of Bruce by the late fourteenth-century poet John Barbour and a copy of the fifteenth-century poem Wallace attributed to Blin’ Hary. In the first Chapter, the reasons for the choice of this manuscript are given and its historical context is outlined. This is done through a brief description of the manuscript, an account of the lives of the authors of the texts and an outline history of the Older Scots Language. In chapter two, an alternative context for the manuscript is suggested through a discussion of prototype theories of categorisation and how they articulate with current theories of linguistic investigation. In particular, the notions of inclusiveness, fuzziness, and focus and fixity are highlighted as being of particular importance in the study of language which is the subject of the chapter which follows. Chapter 3 is a commentary on the language of the manuscript, working from data presented in the appendices. This enables the various current methods of manuscript investigation to be studied for what they reveal of scribal practice. In particular, the concepts of variation and constraint are highlighted. Chapter 4 is an examination of the handwriting in the manuscript. Again working from data presented in the appendices, Ramsay’s range of letter forms and the contexts in which he uses them are investigated. Variation and constraint are again important concepts and the value of the study of handwriting as an aid to the identification of the work of a scribe is assessed. In Chapter 5 the codicology of the manuscript is considered. The watermarks in the paper are described and, as far as possible identified. A collation of the quires of the texts, based on the pattern of watermarks and chain-line indentations, is suggested. Ramsay’s methods of correction and abbreviation are then examined for what they reveal of his scribal practice.

Abstract:
Les intellectuels byzantins ne lisaient pas les œuvres anciennes de manière passive : en lisant, ils avaient toujours le calame à la main pour corriger les fautes du texte, ajouter des notes ou des scholies marginales, pour rédiger des commentaires ou pour en tirer des citations, qu’ils déposaient dans des cahiers de notes. L’étude d’un recueil d’extraits permet de s’approcher en quelque sorte du bureau d’un érudit du passé, de comprendre quels textes il lisait, pourquoi et comment il sélectionnait les passages à citer. Le Neap. II C 32 est un des témoins les plus remarquables de cette pratique de lecture active et il constitue le reflet des intérêts de lecture d’un érudit ou d’un groupe d’érudits, qui avait l’habitude d’annoter les passages les plus intéressants de toutes les œuvres qu’il lisait. Le codex a été écrit par un seul scribe : on peut l’identifier comme Georges Galésiotès, célèbre copiste professionnel qui travailla pour la chancellerie du patriarcat de Constantinople pendant la première moitié du XIVe siècle. Le Neap. II C 32 n’est pas d’un cahier de notes mais il représente la mise au propre de plusieurs brouillons, qui recueillaient plusieurs anthologies d’extraits. L’ordre du contenu du Neapolitanus ne semble pas fortuit, mais il correspond probablement à un projet précis. Le codex peut être divisé en trois sections : la première contient les extraits tirés de la Bible (ff. 1-27) ; la deuxième ceux sélectionnés des ouvrages à sujet religieux (ff. 28-149) ; la troisième est dédiée à la littérature profane. L’analyse critico-textuelle a permis de tracer la place des modèles de certaines anthologies d’extraits dans le cadre de la tradition directe des ouvrages présents dans le codex de Naples
Byzantine scholars did not read ancient authors passively: when they read, they always kept a pen in their hands in order to be able to correct eventual mistakes, add notes or scholia, include commentaries. They often employed books to collect interesting quotes, which they annotated separately in handbooks, so that they were ready to be used in the composition of an original work. The study of an anthology of excerpts allows us to somehow approach the writing desk of a scholar of the past: in doing so, it grants us the possibility to understand which texts he read and why, and also analyze the method he used in exploiting his sources. Ms Neap. II C 32 is an exceptional witness of this form of ‘active’ reading. The codex constitutes the reflection of the literary interests of a group of scholars who used to annotate the most interesting passages they found while reading. The codex was written by an only scribe, i.e. George Galesiotes, who worked for the patriarchal chancellery of Constantinople in the first half of the 14th century. Neap. II C 32 is not a scholarly handbook: it is the fair copy of several handbooks. The anthologies of excerpts included in the manuscript have been organized according to a precise project. The codex can thus be divided into three main sections: the first one is dedicated to the Bible (ff. 1-27), the second one to works of religious nature (ff. 28-149), the third one contains profane authors. Textual-critical analysis allows us to situate some of the anthologies included in Neap. II C 32 within the main manuscript tradition of the authors

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the supervised manuscripts of the works of Christine de Pizan (ca 1364-ca 1430), the first female author who could make a living from the products of her pen. During her long and prolific career as an author, she composed numerous works for noble and royal patrons of France, which were made into manuscripts by Parisian scribes and illuminators. Scholars have argued that Christine supervised the production of these manuscripts. Moreover, on several occasions the hypothesis has been raised that Christine also copied several of them herself, thus acting as scribe X alongside two other scribes, called P and R. The aim of this thesis is twofold: firstly, to gain a better understanding of the production process of the supervised manuscripts of Christine de Pizan's works and of the role played by the author; secondly, to develop and test a new methodology for distinguishing between scribal hands in medieval manuscripts. An account of Christine de Pizan's life and a survey of all surviving supervised manuscripts of her works clearly show that she had extensive knowledge of how they were made. Monotextual manuscripts of her works were often produced in series, in an attempt to economise and speed up the production process. The manuscripts of Christine's collected works show a production and editing process that resembles modern-day printing-on-demand. This thesis further demonstrates the use and success of the Scribal Fingerprint, a new and objective method of distinguishing between scribal hands that consists of three palaeographical core differentiators and two additional differentiators. A Scribal Fingerprint examination of the handwriting in MS Harley 4431, the most recent of the four surviving manuscripts containing Christine's collected works, generates highly heterogeneous differentiator values for the thirteen folios that were analysed. This analysis is combined with an examination executed by GIWIS, an innovative computer application for handwriting analysis. Both strngly suggest that MS Harley 4431, thought by some scholars to have been transcribed entirely by scribe X, was in fact copied by more than one scribe.

Full text
Abstract:
John Gwenogvryn Evans was an important figure in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Welsh Celtic Studies, because he published accurate diplomatic editions of medieval manuscripts that are still used today. He also compiled an important and detailed Report on Welsh Manuscripts for the Historic Manuscripts Commission that was of significant utility to scholars of his day, and still has uses for its detailed description of manuscripts. His extraordinary talent for accuracy in the reproduction of medieval script came to the attention of John Rhŷs, then Professor of Celtic at Jesus College, Oxford. Through Rhŷs he was exposed to the best scholarship of his day, and with the assistance of scholars such as Egerton Phillimore and John Morris Jones, he was enabled to produce work of enduring value. Due to his limited training in Welsh linguistics, and in research methodology, there were, from the start, serious flaws in his interpretation of early Welsh. Later, on losing contact with academic influences due to unwise actions, he fell into a pseudoscientific mentality more common earlier in the 19th century, seeking to find historical fact in poetry of legend and prophecy. Major errors arose from his later inclination to consider the date of a manuscript and the date of the content to be identical, and the ridicule that resulted from his 'amendments and translations' to early poetry so undermined his credibility that he never completed the full range of his intended series of texts. This study traces the origins, manifestations, and consequences of his dual nature through seven chapters. It considers the value of his solid earlier work, and balances it against the follies of his later translations, and seeks to give a fairer view of the value of his work to his own generation, and to those that followed on from him.

Full text
Abstract:
This doctoral thesis deals with the transmission and reception of the works of Cyprian of Carthage in the early Middle Ages. The process of research combined the study of the manuscript transmission of Cyprian’s works with the study of texts that were (in an immediate way or not) influenced by these writings. The connections between the transmission of Cyprian’s writings and the publishing activities of various groups, from the Donatists in fourth-century North Africa to Carolingian priests, is a central part of the thesis. The appropriation of the Church Father by different groups, including Arian writers in the aftermath the Council of Aquileia, proves not only the sense of authority Cyprian’s works invoked but also the, often liberal, way in which ancient works were used or interpreted. In addition, Cyprian was the first Latin Church Father to connect the concept of the unity of the Church with the office of the bishop. He was therefore influential in medieval ecclesiological thought and in the shaping of episcopal identities throughout the early Middle Ages. The thesis examined how Cyprian’s works functioned as tools of legitimisation for the causes of ninth-century bishops, such as Hincmar of Reims; invocations of priestly and episcopal identity, which were often based on Cyprian’s contribution to Catholic theology, enabled influential bishops to affirm their place in a Christian society as major players in ecclesiastical and secular politics.

Full text
Abstract:
The Life of St Chad is an anonymous Old English saint’s life and is extant only in Oxford, Bodleian, MS Hatton 116. Saint Chad (c. 634–672) was a Northumbrian monk, missionary, and bishop of Mercia. The Life is probably an Old English translation of a lost, original Latin vita, adapted from Bede’s Historia Ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum with an introduction and conclusion based on Sulpicius Severus’s Vita Sancti Martini. This thesis includes an originally edited edition of the text, alongside a translation and critical apparatus. This thesis enters the debate about when the Old English Life was composed, with the central question of establishing the extent to which linguistic—and specifically vocabulary—evidence can be used to establish parameters for the date of the text and re-evaluating the evidence to date. More broadly, this thesis considers the dating methodologies employed in relation to early medieval English texts, and my approach offers new insights into these. I argue that a reasonable conclusion on the more likely date for a text is possible through employing probabilistic reasoning to analyse certain types of linguistic data, particularly the frequency and distribution patterns of pertinent vocabulary, when supported by the other literary, historical, and contextual evidence. I conclude that it is most likely that the Life was composed by the first half of the tenth century, and probably prior to c. 930. Almost certainly, based on vocabulary evidence, it was composed much earlier than it was copied in the extant twelfth-century manuscript. The findings of this thesis offer a range of insights into the importance of the Life of St Chad in understanding the development of early English prose and continuing literary activity in Mercia after the advent of a West Saxon literary tradition at the end of the ninth century.

Abstract:
After an introduction and a short description of the research methods usually adopted in scientific disciplines and particularly in palaeography, some hypotheses on the influence of new technologies on human learning and some examples of the use of Web technologies in manuscript cataloguing are proposed. The reasons for the project of an information system adopting Web technologies for manuscripts cataloguing are then reported and the meaning of an open catalogue strictly related to the above information system is presented. The project is applied to a concrete example to show one of the possible ways the information system can be used by the palaeographers' community and, more in general, by scientific community. The paper ends with the proposal of long term publishing hypotheses for materials collected within the database of the open catalogue.
