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.

The purpose of this thesis is to assess the extent to which the singular readings of a manuscript reveal the tendencies of the scribe who wrote its text by examining three related Greek manuscripts from the sixth century. The three manuscripts are all luxury copies of the Gospels' purple codices, so named because they are written in silver and gold ink on parchment that has been dyed purple. The manuscripts, Codex Purpureus Petropolitanus (N 022), Codex Sinopensis (O 023) and Codex Rossanensis (Σ 042), were all copied in the sixth century from a common exemplar. Chapter One introduces the three manuscripts. Chapter Two provides a history of research on scribal habits and singular readings, and it describes the method used in this thesis to determine both the validity of the singular readings method and the actual scribal habits of 022, 023 and 042. Chapter Three provides a preliminary assessment of each scribe by comparing scribal features in the passages extant in all three manuscripts. Chapters Four, Five and Six assess the scribal habits of 022, 023 and 042, respectively. In these chapters, perceived scribal habits are measured by a modified singular readings method to replicate the situation for each manuscript if it had no extant close relatives' the situation for most early manuscripts. Actual scribal habits are then determined by the places the scribe changed the text of the exemplar. Chapter Seven offers some concluding thoughts about the scribes, their exemplar and the use of singular readings to determine scribal habits. Appendix One presents for the first time an edition of the reconstructed text of the exemplar of 022, 023 and 042, where at least two of the three manuscripts are extant. Appendices Two, Three and Four are full transcriptions of the Gospel of Matthew in 022, 023 and 042, respectively. Appendix Five provides information on singular readings and corrections in 042 where it alone is extant of the three manuscripts. Appendix Six describes the codicological structures of the three manuscripts. Appendix Seven is a transcription and brief discussion of 080, a fragmentary of a purple codex dating to the sixth century. Finally, both 022 and 042 contain a series of secondary corrections made against a second exemplar, and Appendix Eight argues that the scribe of 042 was responsible for these corrections in both manuscripts.

O estudo passa pela novela O colar da pomba, de Ibn Hazm, andaluz do século XI, e suas aparições nem sempre claras no filme de Nacer Khemir, O colar perdido da pomba. O estudo aqui apresentado está relacionado ao meu estudo central sobre as letras e a caligrafia árabes, e sobre o modelo de biblioteca árabe medieval, nos séculos 8 e 9, o Bayt ak-Hikma, A casa da sabedoria, como designavam os persas, e depois os árabes. / Abstract: This is a study and a research of images in literature, film, letters and texts in Arabic and Persian manuscripts and miniatures. The study permeates the novel The Ring of the Dove by the Andalusian Ibn Hazm, written about the eleventh century, and how it implicity appears in Nacer Khemir's film, The Dove Lost Necklace. The study presented here relates to my study on the letters and Arabic calligraphy, and a model of medieval Arabic library of the 8th/9th, the Bayt al-Hikma, the House of Wisdom, as denominate by the Persian and the Arabs. / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

O Traicitié de la forme et devis comme on fait les tournois (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. Français 2695) escrito por volta de 1460 pelo duque René dAnjou (1409-1480) merece destaque por sintetizar em um único trabalho práticas da cultura de corte principesca tardo-medieval e pela originalidade em combinar material textual e iconográfico para transmitir a mensagem pretendida pelo autor. Optamos pelo trabalho com o códice em questão devido à difusão de documentos através dos meios eletrônicos, pela singularidade da obra e carência de edições modernas. Manuscritos medievais são objetos foco de diferentes campos de pesquisa, o que nos leva a restringir o escopo do nosso trabalho à análise textual a partir da nossa transcrição paleográfica. O objetivo desse trabalho será examinar a dupla funcionalidade do ms. Fr. 2695 por meio da análise do discurso. Mediante o exame qualitativo e quantitativo do corpus lexical, e da comparação com fontes externas, investigaremos primeiramente a função do códice em registrar a prática do torneio para estabelecer como seria o combate idealizado pelo duque e quão longe estaria da prática corrente. Em seguida, procuraremos decifrar o influxo de escritos corteses, cavaleirescos e principescos no interior do tratado para determinar a construção ideológica, de maneira a persuadir o leitor a adotar um determinado comportamento frente à sociedade. / The Traicitié de la forme et devis comme on fait les tournois (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. Français 2695) written around 1460 by the Duke René d\'Anjou (1409-1480) is noteworthy for synthesizing in a single work practices from princely court culture of the Late Middle Ages and the originality of combining textual and iconographic material in order to convey a message intended by the author. We opted for working with the codex in question due to the dissemination of documents by electronic means, by the uniqueness of the work and lack of modern editions. Medieval manuscripts are objects focus of different research fields, which leads us to narrow the scope of our work to textual analysis from our paleographic transcription. The aim of this study is to examine the dual functionality of the ms. Fr. 2695 through discourse analysis. Through qualitative and quantitative examination of the lexical corpus, and the comparison with external sources, first we will investigate the function of the codex to record the practice of the tournament, and then establish how the fight would be devised by the Duke and how far was from current practice. Second, we will try to decipher the influence of courtly, knightly and princely literature within the treatise in order to determine the ideological construction to persuade the reader to adopt a certain behavior in society.

Les manuscrits arabes sont une source d'information inestimable. Trois millions de ces œuvres se trouvent éparpillées à travers le monde. Une prise de conscience réelle sur la préservation de ces œuvres s'est vue naître, ces dernières années, à travers le monde. Beaucoup de projets de numérisation de manuscrits arabes anciens ont été mis en œuvre. Mais, la numérisation est-elle suffisante ? Le véritable but recherché est une diffusion de masse, car rien n'est mieux préservé qu'une ressource partagée. Toutefois, il faut y trouver un moyen d'y accéder facilement. Les bibliothèques sont les lieux de prédilection de sauvegarde et de rangement de manuscrits. Elles ont développé un outil d'accès aux manuscrits qu'elles ont toujours maîtrisé et convenablement mis en œuvre ; il s'agit du catalogue, un support d'utilisation simple et intuitif. Toutes ces œuvres se voient répertoriées selon des protocoles de catalogage non uniformisés, différents d'une institution à une autre, mais pour l'essentiel, utilisant des entrées standards (Auteur, titre de l'œuvre, Sujet). L'idée est de venir au secours du catalogueur qui peine à lui seul à cataloguer autant d'œuvres, sans oublier les différentes difficultés rencontrées tels que le type de calligraphie et l'état du manuscrit. Par conséquent, une autre question se pose à savoir, comment faudrait-il s'y prendre ? A ce niveau se dresse une problématique cruciale, qui consiste à trouver le meilleur moyen d'accès aux images des manuscrits numérisés. En effet, trois solutions d'accessibilité aux manuscrits numérisés sont possibles :• La première consiste en un accès aux manuscrits numérisés en mode image ; cela signifie l'exploitation directe de l'image du manuscrit numérisé par des outils d'indexation appropriés.• La seconde se donne pour objectif de convertir intégralement le manuscrit en texte, ce qui reviendrait à traiter le manuscrit numérisé comme un document texte ordinaire. Par conséquent, l'usage de la recherche d'information deviendra un outil incontournable.• La troisième solution fait appel à un outil efficace utilisé dans les bibliothèques. Il s'agit du catalogue. Le principe de cette solution est élémentaire. Il repose sur l'interrogation du catalogue. L'affichage du manuscrit répondant favorablement à une requête se fait suite au choix de l'utilisateur. Notre travail de recherche ne se positionne pas dans le choix de la meilleure solution parmi les trois sus-citées, nous nous donnons pour objectif de procéder à l'étude des trois modèles de solutions et de procéder à l'évaluation de chaque modèle pour l'optimisation de l'accès en ligne aux manuscrits arabes anciens numérisés... / Arabic manuscripts are a very important source of information. Three million of them are scattered throughout the world. Nowadays, a real awareness rises throughout the world to preserve the old manuscripts.Many digitization projects of old Arabic manuscripts were implemented. But, is this sufficient for the manuscripts preservation? The main goal is the massive diffusion of these resources, because nothing is better preserved than a shared resource. However, it is necessary to make them accessible.Libraries are the most suitable places for storing manuscripts. They have developed an interesting tool for the manuscripts online access: It is about a catalogue, a simple and intuitive user support.the whole of the manuscripts are listed throughout a non-standardized cataloging protocol, which differ from an institution to another, but most of them use standard entries like the "Author", "title" and "subject".The problematic is about finding a way how to help a cataloguer who struggle alone to catalog the manuscripts, which present several problems concerning their state and their calligraphy? Therefore, the answer will be about how to make it.Thus, first we are asked to find a best way to access images of the digitized Arabic manuscripts. Indeed, we can quote three methods to access digitized manuscripts:• The first one consists of accessing to manuscripts in image mode. This is done by images processing with using of suitable indexing tools.• The second one aim to fully convert the manuscript into a text mode, then the manuscript will be processed as textual document. Thus, the information retrieval will be used.• The third solution uses an effective library tool which is the catalogue. The principle of this solution is basic. First, the user makes his query to the catalogue. The latter displays the results, and then the user selects the suitable one.The goal of our research is not to make choice between these three methods to access to digitized manuscripts. Our objective is to use these methods, evaluate them in order to optimize the online access to digitized Arabic manuscripts......

La Tesis titulada "Aportaciones de Faustino Arévalo a la edición de Sedulio" estudia el texto editado por Arévalo del poeta Sedulio, en concreto, el comentario -Scholia- al libro primero del Carmen Paschale. Tras la presentación de la biografía del humanista, la descripción de la edición y el estudio de la tradición editorial en la que se inserta Arévalo, se estudia la biografía y producción seduliana tomando como base los Prolegomena arevalianos. Después se describen los manuscritos, ediciones y comentarios de Sedulio. El estudio de la emendatio del texto presenta unas tablas de uariae lectiones, además de ocuparse de cuestiones como las glosas o los títulos de capítulos. La abundancia de lugares paralelos ejemplifica el valor de ese críterio en la determinación del texto. La explanatio se centra en cuestiones de métrica. Se valoran las aportaciones de esta edición y su pervivencia. Hay unos Apéndices y un resumen en italiano. / The Thesis entitled "Contributions from Faustino Arévalo to the edition of Sedulius" studies the poet Sedulius' text edited by Arévalo, specifically, the commentary -Scholia- to the first book of Carmen Paschale. After presenting the humanist's biography, describing the edition and studying Arévalo's literary tradition, the biography and Sedulian literary production are studied taking Arévalo's Prolegomena as a starting point. It follows a description of the manuscripts, editions and Sedulian commentaries. The emendatio is studied by means of a series of tables from uariae lectiones, apart from dealing with questions such as glosses or chapter titles. The presence of a large number of parallelisms is an example of the value of that criterion in the text determination. The explanatio focuses on matters of poetic metre. Finally, there is an assesment of the contributions to this edition and its survival, including Appendixes and a summary in Italian.Nota importante: Para ver la tesis correctamente es necesario copiar la fuente sgkclass.TTf
