‎Summary Scriptor, Cantor & Notator is an innovative multi-author project dealing with the complex interconnections between learning, writing and performing chant in the Middle Ages. A number of different methodological approaches have been employed, with the aim of beginning to understand the phenomenon of chant transmission over a large geographical area, linking and contrasting modern definitions of East and West. Thus, in spite of this wide geographical spread, and the consequent variety of rites, languages and musical styles involved, the common thread of parallels and similarities between various chant repertoires arising from the need to fix oral repertories in a written form, and the challenges involved in so doing, are what bring this wide variety of repertoires and approaches together. This multi-centric multi-disciplinary approach will encourage scholars working in these areas to consider their work as part of a much larger geographical and historical picture, and thus reveal to reader and listener more, and far richer, patterns of connections and developments than might otherwise have been suspected. Scriptor, Cantor & Notator is published in two books. The first, The Materiality of Sound in Chant Manuscripts in the West, brings together articles on several different families of early music scripts in the Latin West and provides a vividly diverse picture of some of the best current scholarship on the various types of ancient and medieval musical notation.

En 1350, Pierre de la Jugie, neveu du pape Clement VI, est depuis trois ans sur le siege de Narbonne, a la tete d?un des archeveches les plus riches du royaume de France, lorsqu?il decide de faire realiser un pontifical a la hauteur de ses ambitions. Orne de 85 enluminures encore en place, l?ouvrage est un temoignage exceptionnel, bien documente, qui permet de comprendre les modalites de la commande des manuscrits liturgiques enlumines au XIVe siecle, et qu?il est possible de replacer dans un contexte politique, religieux et artistique bien determine. Le livre n?est qu?en partie fidele au modele de pontifical etabli par Guillaume Durand. Outre un calendrier et des feuillets de comput, il contient aussi plusieurs textes additionnels, expressement ajoutes par Pierre de la Jugie, et accompagne d?une iconographie qui leur est propre. L?etude des textes, du calendrier au pontifical, et de l?iconographie choisie pour les illustrer, permet de mettre en valeur la forte implication du commanditaire dans la mise en place de ce livre. Les peintures qui ornent ces pages sont l??uvre de quatre artistes qui, en depit de leurs formations differentes (Catalogne, Sud de la France, Italie) ont collabore et se sont mutuellement influences. Le recensement des productions de chacun des enlumineurs permet de mettre en valeur l?existence de reseaux d?echanges entre les artistes et les commanditaires ecclesiastiques appartenant a un meme clan de prelats limousins.‎

‎Medicine at Monte Cassino. Constantine the African and the Oldest Manuscript of his Pantegni‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xxxvi + 255 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:46 b/w, 16 col., 6 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503579214.‎

‎Summary Fleeing his North-African homeland for Italy, Constantine the African arrived in Salerno and then joined the abbey of Monte Cassino south of Rome in c. 1077. He dedicated his life to the translation of more than two dozen medical texts from Arabic into Latin. These great efforts produced the first substantial written body of medical theory and practice in medieval Europe. His most important contribution, an encyclopedia he called the Pantegni (The Complete Art), was translated and adapted from the Complete Book of the Medical Art by the Persian physician 'Ali ibn al-'Abb?s al-Ma??s? (d. 982). This monograph focuses on the oldest manuscript of the Pantegni,Theorica, which represents a work-in-progress with numerous unusual features. This study, for the first time, identifies Monte Cassino as the origin of this oldest Pantegni manuscript, and asserts that it was made during Constantine's lifetime. It further demonstrates how a skilled team of scribes and scholars assisted the translator in the complex process of producing this Latin version of the Arabic text. Several members of this production team are identified, both in the Pantegni manuscript and in other copies of Cassinese manuscripts. The book breaks new ground by identifying a range of manuscripts produced at Monte Cassino under Constantine's direct supervision, as evidenced by their material features, script, and contents. In rare detail, this study explores some of the challenges met by 'Team Constantine' as they sought to reveal new knowledge to the West, which in turn revolutionized medical understanding throughout medieval Europe. This is really a quite remarkable study, utterly transformative of our understanding of one of the turning points in the history of Western civilization, the moment when Greco-Arabic medicine was introduced into the Latin European world.

‎Writing Names in Medieval Sacred Spaces. Inscriptions in the West, from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, xx + 386 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:94 b/w, 26 col., 4 tables b/w., 3 maps color, Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503602363.‎

‎Summary This volume proposes a framework for reflection on practices of writing personal names in medieval sacred spaces, uniting historians, art historians, and specialists in written culture (both epigraphers and palaeographers). It traces the forms and functions of names that can be found within the space of early medieval churches and cemeteries, focusing mainly, but not solely, on inscriptions. By examining names written in various kinds of media, from liturgical books to graffiti and more formal inscriptions, the contributors investigate the intentions and effects of the act of writing one's own name or having one's name written down. Their interest resides less in the name itself than the interactions it had with its spatial, iconographic, linguistic, ritual, and cultural context, and what this indicates about medieval graphical practices. What is a name from a graphic point of view? What are the specificities of the epigraphic manifestations of names? By whom were names written, and for whom were they intended (if they were even meant to be accessed)? Addressing these and other questions, this volume shows the importance of inscriptions as historical sources and the contribution they give to the study of medieval societies at the intersection of history, anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and semiology.

‎Notam superponere studui. The Use of Annotation Symbols in the Early Middle Ages‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, 301 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:15 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503581705.‎

‎Summary Early medieval manuscripts were commonly annotated not only by glosses but also by annotation symbols. These graphic signs inserted in manuscript margins provided manuscript text with layers of additional meaning and functionality. From the most common signs marking biblical quotations and passages of interest to the sophisticated systems of signs used by some of the early medieval scholars, annotation symbols represent perhaps the most common form of marginalia encountered in early medieval books. Yet, their non-verbal character proved a serious obstacle to their understanding and appreciation. This book represents the first systematic study of annotation symbols used in the Latin West between c. 400 and c. 900. Combining paleographic evidence with the evidence of written sources such as late antique and early medieval lists of signs, this book identifies the most important communities of sign users and conventions in use in the early Middle Ages. It explores some of the notable differences between regions, periods, linguistic communities and classes of users and reconstructs a fascinating history of the practice of using signs, rather than words, to annotate text. Those who work with early medieval manuscripts will, furthermore, find this book to be a practical handbook of the most common annotation symbols attested in early medieval Western manuscripts or discussed in ancient and medieval sources. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1. The use of annotation symbols in Antiquity Chapter 2. The 21-sign treatise: inherited classical doxa in the early medieval Latin West Chapter 3. Transmission of other doxa with ancient roots in the Early Middle Ages Chapter 4. The revival of scholarly sign use in the Carolingian period Chapter 5. Annotation symbols in the Carolingian classroom Chapter 6. Signs used by Western scribes from Late Antiquity until the ninth century Conclusion Appendix I: Overview of the most important annotation symbols Appendix II: Latin sign treatises from the eighth to fifteenth century Appendix III: Annotation symbols in Bavarian manuscripts Bibliography Index of manuscripts Index of authors and texts annotated with signs Index of notable sign users‎
