Books of Knowledge in Late Medieval Europe: Circulation and Reception of Popular Texts, 2021

The process of becoming a 'book knowledge' is an interesting and significant pattern in the history of many medieval best-sellers. In this article I consider what I believe to be the most important milestones of this process. As a concise example of such a path I am going to analyze major stages of the history of the Elucidarium written at the turn of the twelfth century by Honorius Augustodunensis (d. c. 1154), one of the most overseen figures of the Renaissance of the twelfth century. I think many episodes of the history of this particular text serve as good illustrations of this complex and multifaceted transformation into a bestseller.

Despite its importance and the obvious interest to this text among medieval audience, the work remains scarcely studied. The present research aims, by analyzing manuscripts and medieval catalogues, to answer the question what the Elucidarium has been to its medieval readers. As the studied corpus suggests, the text has never become obsolete as it remained popular and widely used throughout the Middle Ages in very different milieus varying from parochial clergy to high ranked secular lords. This conclusion slightly nuances the vision of the Elucidarium’s editor Yves Lefèvre and invites to further researches of this theological “bestseller”.

O. v.IV № 1, which is labelled in Russian catalogues as “Handbook of chronology”. Analyzing the choice of glosses which were copied by the scribe, one can conclude that the glosses on Psychomachia had been considered in the second quarter of XIIth century as a source of encyclopedic knowledge, applicable to any thematic domain. In the manuscript under investigation the glosses on Psychomachia comment different fragments of chronological treatise contained in the codex.
В статье рассматриваются фрагменты глосс к «Психомахии» Пруденция, входящие в состав кодекса РНБ, Lat. O. v. IV № 1, известного, как «Руководство по хронологии». Тщательный анализ состава рукописи, а также подробное рассмотрение выбора определенных глосс из всего корпуса позволяет сделать вывод, что составитель рукописи использовал глоссы к прославленной позднеантичной поэме в качестве источника энциклопедических справок и выбрал из них те, которые поясняют что-то в прочих текстах, входящих в состав рукописи.

From the most basic facilities, such as the increasing availability of digitized images and documents, to sophisticated attempts at automatizing the entire process of critical editing, the development of digital tools is extraordinary: it has created unprecedented opportunities to mine the data, achieve innovative results, and display them in ways which previously could only be imagined. In such a dynamic context, the number of valuable enterprises continues to grow: the time is ripe for a consideration of the achievements already obtained, and of the foundations that our current work is laying for long-term development of the field. Through the organization of this workshop, the ERC Project PASSIM seeks to provide an occasion to pursue this goal.
The meeting gathers scholars who engage in groundbreaking projects in the field of digital manuscript studies. It brings together colleagues who work from methodological and theoretical perspectives with those who apply digital techniques to specific subjects, and thus hopes to facilitate fruitful interactions between bottom-up and top-down approaches. The conference environment is designed to stimulate dialogue and knowledge exchange: we consider cooperation, interoperability and integration at the largest scale as essential to realize the potential of digital manuscript studies, and to help each other in the search for a dynamic, secure and cooperative future for the field.
