This talk was made for the Schoenberg Symposium 2020: Manuscript Studies in the Covid-19 Age (18-20 Nov 2020). https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/ljs-symposium13 9 views

In de kantlijn zien we hoe tekst georganiseerd wordt, klaar gemaakt voor opslag in het geheugen, in relatie gebracht met andere teksten en ter discussie gesteld. De marges brengen ons in direct contact met de middeleeuwse lezers: we kijken als het ware mee over zijn (of haar) schouder. Het geeft een gevoel van versmelting met het verre verleden vergelijkbaar met de opwinding over een archeologische vondst. De gebruikssporen geven ons bovendien inzicht in de methoden en technieken van wetenschap en onderwijs van die tijd. De teksten zelf ondergaan in hun overlevering steeds wezenlijke veranderingen, omdat zij gelezen worden door een eigen bril, vanuit eigen vragen en belangen. Dat is dan ook precies wat een geschiedenis van tekstoverlevering die evenzeer geworteld is in de studie van handschriften als in de klassieke filologische methodes zo relevant maakt.

I studies the ways in which Carolingian scholars and students worked with their books with ancient and late-ancient texts.

Seven manuscripts with glossaries from the collection of Leiden University Library are described and compared with respect to what happens in their margins and interlinear spaces.

In the paper I illustrate how the marginal activity shows us the medieval reader, his/her interests, purposes, distractions and associations.

The group consists of experts in textual scholarship, (digital) scientific editions and cultural heritage. As a member of the eDITem project you will work on the realization of a tool for publishing digital text editions. You design templates in TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) XML to model and publish different types of literary and (cultural) historical sources. You work closely with researchers involved in the edition project The Mondrian Papers (https://mondrianpapers.org/), for which a proof-of-concept digital edition is being delivered. You also work closely with the Digital Infrastructure department of the KNAW Humanities Cluster, which is responsible for developing and managing, often innovative, software for scientific research.

Deze marginale teksten zijn anders van aard dan de hoofdteksten waaraan ze zijn vastgehecht, met meer vrijheid voor de kopiist(en) en een complexere overleveringsgeschiedenis. De vraag is hoe een editeur met dit soort teksten om moet/kan gaan. Om hierop een antwoord te vinden onderzoekt de auteur de ontstaansgeschiedenis van dergelijke teksten en hun rol in de middeleeuwse geleerde context. Abstract The focus of this essay is on mediaeval manuscripts with interlinear and marginal notes – glosses and commentaries. These marginal texts are different in nature from the main texts to which they are attached, and demonstrate a more complex transmission history in which copiists allowed themselves more textual freedom. The question is how a scholarly editor best treats these texts. In order to propose an answer to this question, the author of ...

It studies three examples of annotating books from the Carolingian period. It argues that the marginal annotations we find in books of the period have multiple purposes: not just education or explanation, but also (textual) criticism, mnemonic aids, discussion and critique. The analysis of these practices of reading and writing shed light on the dynamics of intellectual life of the period.
