Disiecta Membra Musicae

Although fragments from music manuscripts have occupied a place of considerable importance since the very early days of modern musicology, a collective, up-to-date, and comprehensive discussion of the various techniques and approaches for their study was lacking. On-line resources have also become increasingly crucial for the identification, study, and textual/musical reconstruction of fragmentary sources. Disiecta Membra Musicae. Studies in Musical Fragmentology aims at reviewing the state of the art in the study of medieval music fragments in Europe, the variety of methodologies for studying the repertory and its transmission, musical palaeography, codicology, liturgy, historical and cultu...

The Paper Trade in Early Modern Europe

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: BRILL

This book attends to the most essential, lucrative, and overlooked business activity of early modern Europe: the trade of paper. Despite the well-known fact that paper was crucial to the success of printing and record-keeping alike, paper remains one of the least studied areas of early modern history. Organised into three sections – ‘Hotspots and Trade Routes’, ‘Usual Dealings’, and ‘Recycling Economies’ – the chapters in this collection shed light on the practices, materials, and networks of the paper trade. Altogether, the collection uncovers the actors involved in the networks of paper production, transportation, purchase, and reuse, between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries and across the central and peripheral papermaking regions of Europe. Contributors: Renaud Adam, Daniel Bellingradt, Frank Birkenholz, Simon Burrows, Orietta Da Rold, Michael Falk, Anna Gialdini, Rachel Hendery, Silvia Hufnagel, Jean-Benoît Krumenacker, Katherine McDonough, Krisztina Rábai, Anna Reynolds, Benito Rial Costas, Tapio Salminen, Helen Smith, Jan Willem Veluwenkamp, Andreas Weber, and Megan Williams.

Global History, Visual Culture and Itinerancies

  • Categories: Art

National studies have demonstrated their inability to correctly understand global phenomena, and the way in which they affect societies. This chronologically ambitious book investigates methodological and theoretical issues from Roman times to the present, in terms of globalization. In this context, one of the most relevant parameters of change emerges: the itinerancy of culture and knowledge. Therefore, this volume argues that itinerant agents carry with them cultural baggage, transporting and transmitting it to other spaces. In this way, interconnection begins, producing active changes in global history and visual culture. Contributions to this book focus on comparative studies, the evolution of global phenomena, historical processes in their diachrony, regional studies, changing economies, cultural continuities, and methodological questions on globalization, among others. In addition, the book opens with a contribution from Professor Peter Burke.

  • Publisher: BRILL

This collection of essays engages with a variety of aspects of early modern book culture in the 16th-17th centuries, considered in the Catholic context. The contributions reflect on the engagement of institutions and authorities in the process of book production, bringing to the fore the role of networks in this process; show the book as a tool of resistance to the Protestant Reformation; give insight into the content and design of book collections; showcase textual production in the context of cultural appropriation and shed light on the role of the image in the propagation of Catholicism. Together the sixteen contributions demonstrate the diversity of the Catholic book in its forms and functions, in various social and national contexts.

Typographorum Emblemata

This collection of specially commissioned articles aims to shed light on the Early Modern printer's mark, a very productive Early Modern word-image so far only occasionally noted outside the domain of book history.

It does so from the perspectives of book history, literary history, especially emblem scholarship, and art history. The various contributions to the volume address issues such as those of the adoption of printer's devices in the place of the older heraldic printe...

Private Libraries and their Documentation, 1665–1830

  • Publisher: BRILL

The essays in Private Libraries and their Documentation revolve around the users and contents of early modern private book collections, and around the sources used to document and study these collections. They take the reader from large-scale projects on historical book ownership to micro-level research conducted on individual libraries, and from analyses of specific types of primary sources to general typologies and overviews by period and by region. As a result of its comparative approach and active engagement with questions regarding the nature, selection and accessibility of sources, the volume serves as a guide to sources and resources in different regions as well as to state-of the-art methods and interpretational approaches. Publication of this volume in open access was made possible by the Ammodo KNAW Award 2017 for Humanities.

Libros y papeles de todo género y facultad. Estudios sobre tipología y géneros editoriales (siglos XIV-XIX)

La diversidad de los productos manuscritos e impresos presenta una problemática compleja en la que la investigación se mueve, no sin cierta dificultad, desde siempre. Fue necesaria una ciencia, la Diplomática, para resolver el problema en el mundo del documento manuscrito, pero el mundo del impreso y una buena parte del manuscrito tienen pendiente ampliar el campo de la Diplomática o encarar el problema desde una perspectiva propia. Este volumen incluye más de veinte trabajos relacionados con los géneros editoriales persiguiendo encontrar las características específicas de cada una de las diferentes tipologías del impreso (libro y no libro). Se trata de un paso más, no del último ni definitivo, pero muestra el interés y las distintas perspectivas en las que se mueve la investigación.

Guía de manuscritos en las bibliotecas universitarias españolas

Los manuscritos conservados en las bibliotecas universitarias son magníficas fuentes de información -en ocasiones únicas- pues no siempre existen ediciones impresas de los textos. Además el propio manuscrito en sí, su soporte, su escritura, ilustraciones y conservación, es, por su propia naturaleza, un elemento de extraordinario valor para el investigador. Sin embargo, aún faltaba una guía que orientase a todas aquellas personas que necesitaban acceder a los riquísimos fondos existentes en nuestras bibliotecas. El presente volumen, fruto del Grupo de Trabajo de Patrimonio de Rebiun, pero también de todos aquellos profesionales que han aportado los datos necesarios y los textos introductorios que sitúan a cada colección en su contexto histórico, viene a cubrir ese vacío existente, convirtiéndose en un instrumento de extraordinario valor en manos del investigador, del profesional de las bibliotecas y también, por qué no, del curioso que desee acercarse al mundo de los manuscritos.
