Early Manuscripts Electronic Library

Early Manuscripts Electronic Library

• What We Do

  The Early Manuscripts Electronic Library (EMEL) uses digital technologies to make manuscripts and other historical source materials accessible for study and appreciation by scholars and the public.

• Our Motivation

  Fragile parchment, papyrus and paper manuscripts, written centuries ago, are the bearers of much of our intellectual, religious, and artistic heritage.
  But they are a finite resource. Each year mold, fire and human conflicts destroy and deface irreplaceable manuscripts.

• Our Strategy

  Digital technologies can recover writing on ancient manuscripts that the human eye cannot see due to damage, deterioration or erasure and can preserve these writings for future generations.
  EMEL and its affiliated experts offer creative solutions to digitally recover and record vulnerable cultural heritage.

Galen Syriac Palimpsest Digital Release at OPENN

 Syriac Palimpsest Digital Release  at OPENN

1 The Syriac Galen Palimpsest

This manuscript contains an eleventh-century liturgical text that is very important for the study of the hymns of Byzantine and Melkite Christianity. The manuscript's value is further increased by the fact that it is a palimpsest, with an older and very significant undertext. The undertext dates back to approximately the ninth century, and contains Syriac translations of Greek medical texts. Preliminary investigations have identified several leaves from Galen's major pharmacological treatise, known in Latin as De Simplicium Medicamentorum Temperamentis et Facultatibus, and in the Syriac and Arabic traditions as the "Book of Simple Drugs". The translation seems to be by Sergius of Resh Ayina, the great sixth-century scholar who was the first to translate the Greek medical corpus and who laid the foundations for the transmission of Greek science into the Islamic world. Part of the same text has been preserved in a British Library manuscript, which is useful for comparison, but the palimpsest is much larger. For further reading, see S. Bhayro, "Syriac Medical Terminology: Sergius and Galen's Pharmacopia" in Aramaic Studies 3 (2005), pp. 147-165.

Handlist of Greek Manuscripts in the British Library

Handlist of Greek Manuscripts in the British Library
Cillian O'Hogan

The completion of the third phase of the Greek Manuscripts Digitisation Project is as good a time as any to release to this world a handy spreadsheet containing details of the Greek manuscripts held by the British Library. The spreadsheet includes a brief description of the content and links to Digitised Manuscripts and to the Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts where the material has been digitised; it also notes which printed catalogue (Richard’s Inventaire or the 1999 Summary Catalogue) describes the item. Almost all the items listed are described in full on the main British Library Explore Archives and Manuscripts catalogue. Items in bold in the handlist are cared for by our colleagues in Asian and African Collections. Finally, links are included to the relevant entry on Pinakes, the important database for Greek manuscripts run by the IRHT in Paris.

Teuchos – Zentrum für Handschriften- und Textforschung: Kommentierte Linkliste: Digitalisate griechischer Handschriften

Teuchos – Zentrum für Handschriften- und Textforschung

 

Das TEUCHOS-Zentrum entwickelt eine weltweit nutzbare elektronische Arbeitsumgebung für die philologische Grundlagenforschung. Insbesondere sollen die Arbeitsabläufe bei der wissenschaftlichen Edition antiker Texte unterstützt werden, die mit der Erschließung der erhaltenen Abschriften aus Spätantike, Mittelalter und Renaissance beginnen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt zunächst im Bereich der Gräzistik.

In der Teuchos-Umgebung werden Forschungsinformationen zu den Textträgern und zur Überlieferungsgeschichte online zusammengeführt sowie forschungsrelevante Text- und Bildmaterialien bereitgestellt. Die Materialien werden strukturiert erfaßt, untereinander verknüpft und für die kooperative Nutzung und Ergänzung zugänglich gemacht. Bei der weitergehenden Bearbeitung entstehen Umschriften, Textrekonstruktionen, Variantenverzeichnisse, Kommentare und Übersetzungen, die online und teilweise auch gedruckt publiziert werden.

Manuscript Comparator

Manuscript Comparator

This tool allows two or more Biblical (currently New Testament) manuscripts or manuscript editions to be easily compared in side-by-side and unified views (no original unedited MSS are yet incorporated). It demonstrates a fundamental concept in the Open Scriptures framework: semantic linking. All of the contributing manuscripts are merged together to produce a single unified manuscript containing every attested variant; additionally, while merging, a manuscript's words are linked to their corresponding words in the unified manuscript. (All words in the unified manuscript are normalized by making them lower-case and removing diacritics and punctuation; spelling differences and transposed words are not normalized). Because each manuscript links back to the unified manuscript, every manuscript is then connected to every other manuscript by virtue of their shared links to a common point.

To use, select the manuscripts for comparison and place them in either the (first) preferred list or the (second) deprecated list; each list must contain at least one manuscript. Reorder the manuscripts in the two lists to indicate precedence so that where manuscripts agree, the equivalent content from the manuscript with a higher precedence will be displayed instead of content from a manuscript with lower precedence. This matters because manuscripts have differences in casing, diacritics, and punctuation. Likewise, the reference system of the manuscript with higher precedence will be displayed.

Il catalogo dei manoscritti è in corso di elaborazione e si compone di dati (completi o ancora parziali) tratti da inventari, bibliografie, cataloghi, indici su schede, pubblicazioni a stampa, indicati alla voce Fonte per ciascuna registrazione elettronica. 

Le descrizioni complete, quando possibile, sono corredate da una scelta di immagini digitali.

La codifica degli elementi descrittivi e di ricerca rispetta le specifiche TEI-MS, secondo sintassi XML per l'inserimento dei dati. Il sistema (archivio di dati, indici di autorità e motore di ricerca) è interamente realizzato con tecnologia open source Java/XML.
____________________________________
The online manuscripts catalogue is a work in progress. It includes data (full or partial descriptions) from inventories, bibliographies, catalogues, index cards, printed books mentioned as a source of information in Fonte tag, for each record.
The full descriptions, when possible, are available from a choice of digital images.

The element set, both for description and research criteria, is TEI-MS compliant, based on XML syntax for the data entry. The system (database, authority file and search engine) is entirely developed with Java/XML and open source technology.

Greek mss. at the Bibliotheque Nationale Francais via Gallica

Roger Pearse brings us a linked list of the Greek mss. at the French National Library

July 1st, 2013 by Roger Pearse 

I learned today from the Evangelical textual criticism blog that the Bibliotheque Nationale Francais have been putting manuscripts online, at their Gallica.bnf.fr portal. Locating these is not straightforward; but if you do an advanced search, leave blank the title etc, and select manuscripts, Greek, you get back a list. A good number are biblical mss., but most are not. Blessedly you can download a PDF of the whole thing in each case.

I thought that a few examples might be useful. The first item is the shelfmark

• Coislin 352, 17th c. Palatine Anthology of Greek verse.
• Grec 2971, 16th c. Hermogenes, Progymnasmata.  Whatever that is.
• Grec 2868, 16th c. Apollinaris Metaphrasis Psalmorum.
• Grec 510, 9th c. Gregory Nazianzen.
• Grec 2929, 16th c. grammatical bits and pieces.
• Grec 2705, 14th c., John Tzetzes on the Iliad.
• Grec 2261, 16th c. medical ms.
• Grec 216, 10th c. Acts of the Apostles, with the catena.
• Grec 1853, 10th c., Aristotle
• Coislin 291, 14th c., Simeon the New Theologian.
• Grec 1807, 9th c. Plato
• Grec 1685, 15th c. Ps.Callisthenes, History of Alexander; Aesop’s fables.
• Grec 1639, 15th c. Xenophon, Cyropedia; expedition; Theophrastus, characters.
• Grec 1759, 13th c. Diogenes Laertius, Lives of the philosophers.
• Grec 2465, 14th c. Michael Psellus
• Grec 1407, 15th c. Arrian, Anabasis; on India; Ptolemy’s geography, epitome.
• Grec 1122, 14th c. John Damascene.
• Grec 2795, 15th c. Sophocles, Electra, Orestes, etc, with scholia.
• Grec 2850, 1475 AD, Sybilline oracles.
• Grec 2902, 16th c. Aesop, Aristophanes, Euripides.
• Grec 2999, 16th c. Demosthenes.
• Coislin 1, 7th c. Greek Old Testament
• Coislin 79, 11th c. Chrysostom.
• Grec 2809, 15th c. Euripides.
• Grec 2036, 10th c. Longinus on the sublime, Ps. Aristotle.
• Grec 2706, 1500. Aristarchus, summaries and scholia on the Iliad.
• Grec 2742, 17th c. Greek anthology of epigrams.
• Grec 1535, 11th c. Martyrdoms.
• Grec 164, 1070 AD. Psalms and canticles, with scholia.
• Grec 1671, 1296. Plutarch.
• Grec 107, 7th c. Bilingual Greek/Latin Paul’s letters. For some reason not identified by BNF.
• Grec 1128, 14th c. Barlaam and Joasaph.
• Grec 1767, 15th c. George Cedrenus, Narratio of meeting of Pope Silvester with some Jews.
• Grec 1909, 15th c. Simplicius on Aristotle’s Physica.
• Grec 2179, 9th c. Dioscorides.
• Grec 2442, 11th c. Aelian, Tactica; Onasander, etc – military manuals.
• Grec 2389, 9th c. Ptolemy.
• Grec 3094, 17th c. Chrysostom, 4 homilies to Antiochenes.
• Grec 923, 9th c. John Damascene, Sacra Parallela.
• Grec 451, 914 AD. The Arethas codex of the Greek apologists!!!
• Grec 781, 939 AD. Chrysostom.
• Grec 142, 12th c. Euthymius Zigabenus, Commentary on Psalms and Canticles.

I’m about half way through and have to rush off. A few more.

• Grec 945, 15th c. Origen.
• Grec 414, 16th c. Gelasius of Cyzicus, Eusebius Vita Constantini, HE, etc.
• Coislin 202, 6th c. Euthalian chapters, New Testament, note saying it was copied from Pamphilus’ exemplar (f.14r, v).

But a great number have no description, although I find that if you look inside, a slip glued onto the guard-folios at the front often tells you what the contents are.
This is marvellous, and I haven’t really digested what is here. There’s 146 Greek but only 15 Latin mss.
