The essays in this lavishly illustrated volume shed light on Ethiopia and Eritrea's fascinating past by looking at some of the most remarkable Ethiopic manuscripts kept at the Bodleian Library of Oxford University.

During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the Bodleian Library has continued to expand its holdings of Ethiopic manuscripts through new acquisitions. Especially noteworthy are the forty-five manuscripts that the former Oxford University Medical Officer Bent Juel-Jensen bequeathed to the library at his death in 2007.

Brossura. Condizione: nuovo. 21pp. Estratto da "ORIENTALIA CHRISTIANA PERIODICA" 81 (2015) -- This article discusses the iconography of the Entombment in Ethiopian manuscript illumination of the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. It has a twofold purpose: (1) to show that during this period Ethiopian artists purposely avoided references to Jesus' suffering and death during the Passion; and (2) to uncover the wealth of liturgical allusions that are found in illuminated gospels books of this period. The article also highlights the importance of philology in the study of Ethiopian manuscript illumination and shows that the religious beliefs and practices of Ethiopian artists probably played a greater role in shaping iconography than hitherto acknowledged.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Throughout the Middle Ages manuscripts were routinely commissioned, copied, illustrated, displayed, read, and transferred across both sides of the Mediterranean. Their significance as vehicles for the transmission of visual and textual knowledge is well known. Less understood, particularly when it comes to non-Latin manuscripts, is the complex web of spiritual, material, intellectual, and emotional interactions that influenced their production and reception. The twelve essays presented here seek to address this gap by exploring the very direct relationships that existed between manuscripts and those individuals or communities that were involved in their making. The volume is broad in scope, covering written artefacts produced between Late Antiquity and the fifteenth century and presenting case studies that range from the British Isles to East Africa and from Spain and the Maghreb to Armenia. The visual and textual evidence preserved in these manuscripts is interpreted by drawing from disciplines such as palaeography, art history, codicology, and textual criticism. The result is a book that details the impact of makers, patrons, collectors, and readers on the making and circulation of manuscripts across Afro-Eurasia.…
