Barbara J. Ilie. Libraries and Book Culture of the Byzantine Empire. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in I.S. degree. July, 2007. 26 pages. Advisor: Jerry Saye This paper examines the libraries and book culture of the Byzantine Empire. It finds that the Imperial and Patriarchal Libraries enjoyed royal patronage from the empire’s very inception, and benefited from imperial largesse throughout its span. Private libraries and monastic libraries were also important; some private libraries rivaled their monastic and imperial counterparts. Another interesting find was that book ownership was reserved for the few; those in the practice of book production could derive a significant income from selling these items of luxury. Finally, devotion to the book assured that many works from antiquity and from the Byzantine period itself have survived until the present day. This devotion ranged from emperor to scribal monk, from calligrapher to scholar collector.

Marginalia Issue 19 Final
From Margins to Frames. Some Forms of Transmission of Visual Formulas in Byzantine Post-Iconoclastic Illuminated Books Giovanni Gasbarri SAPIENZA UNIVERSITY, ROME The word ‘marginal’ is frequently adopted, across several modern European languages, to depict something as secondary, negligible or unimportant. Studies in history of medieval and byzantine books, however, can easily encourage modern readers to dismiss any preconception of margins. In a time when writing instruments were so expensive and a manuscript was considered as a highly exclusive product, margins were far from being merely ‘marginal’ features. Any empty area around the columns could be as important as the main text, since it offered an additional space for additional contents. Moreover, a margin was the place where the main text itself could be analysed, quoted, and sometimes even challenged; comments and glosses on margins have always been one of the most successful methods to establish a connection with a culture from the past, to ponder over its message and to produce new forms of culture—as well as new forms of art. It is commonly acknowledged that book margins played a crucial role in the development of several fundamental aspects of visual communication in the Middle Ages. Not being disjoined from the text as with a full-page illumination, a miniature depicted on a margin produced a much more efficient combination with the content of the book. Initials, vignettes, friezes, drolleries etc. thus became an essential component in the layout of the page, resulting in a wide range of interactions with the text they accompanied. Aside from mere decorative purpose, they could also emphasise a passage, or bring it into discussion with a new interpretation; as for the initials, they could even become a physical part of the text. -

Worldliness in Byzantium and Beyond: Reassessing the Visual Networks of Barlaam and Ioasaph Cecily J. Hilsdale The Medieval Globe, Volume 3, Issue 2, 2017, pp. 57-96 (Article) Published by Arc Humanities Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/758486 [ Access provided at 27 Sep 2021 07:49 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] 57 WORLDLINESS IN BYZANTIUM AND BEYOND: REASSESSING THE VISUAL NETWORKS OF BARLAAM AND IOASAPH CECILY J. HILSDALE of the global turn in art history, scholars redirect attention from if, as ParT 1 “roots” to “routes,” then manuscript studies—as traditionally defined—might be in trouble. Conventional approaches have focused on the former, tracing recension schemas in an attempt to recreate the pictorial programs of lost archetypes from later copies, charting lines of pictorial “influence.” Individual manuscripts, accord- ing to this line of thought, are valued primarily2 as “witnesses” to lost originals as part of an always- elusive recuperative agenda. 3 While many scholars have offered cogent critiques of this genealogical method, the quest for origins still looms large, especially for manuscript traditions that span multiple cultural contexts. The shortcomings of this method are thrown into especially sharp contrast by Barlaam and Ioasaph the corpus of manuscripts that form the core of this essay: the illustrated Greek copies of , a high- drama edifying tale based loosely on the life of the Buddha and translated into a staggering number of languages from around the medieval and early modern world. Specialized studies have attended to individual recension programs and modes4 of translation, while cross-cultural overviews showcase the tale’s wide currency. -
