De #Kringloop blijft mij verbazen. Ditmaal een manuscript van Prof. E. Von Gimborn (1844-1905) uit Sigmaringen. Verlucht met familiewapens (14 dubbele bladen). Genealogie Van Heemskerk-Sterk-Von Gimborn. Lag er al weken totdat ik besloot dat het wel € 7,50 euro waard was...😏 #Manuscript #Genealogie

Schöne Ausstellung "Entangled Communities. Global Egypt and Its Multilingual Manuscript Heritage", die nur diese Woche in der Göttinger Paulinerkirche zu sehen ist. Originalhandschriften aus der Göttinger SUB zeigen, wie verschiedene Sprach- und Religionsgemeinschaften in Ägypten und darüber hinaus eng miteinander verflochten waren.

"Modern #textual #scholarship has shown that #ToledotYeshu never existed as a single, fixed #composition. Unlike the #Mishna or the #Talmud, whose textual traditions gradually stabilized through widespread printing, Toledot Yeshu remained fluid for centuries. #Scribes copied from whatever exemplars were available, frequently introducing additions, omissions, stylistic revisions, and entirely new #narrative episodes. Rather than preserving a single "original" version, the #manuscript tradition reflects a living #text continually reshaped by its transmitters.
The #Łomżamanuscript is especially noteworthy because it preserves a substantially expanded #recension. Its elaborate title-page introduction immediately distinguishes it from many simpler copies. Throughout the text, the #Hebrew is unusually polished, employing a consciously #biblical style that lends the narrative an air of #antiquity and #literary refinement."

RE: https://justinpot.com/16021-2/
📝 "Cursive isn’t faster than handwriting": maybe not, but one advantage for cursive is found in copious note-taking: try print handwriting vs. cursive. Writing in cursive is less fatiguing than print.
This is also the first I've seen the term "manuscript handwriting" in place of "print handwriting". Is that a Canadian term?

Een honderden jaren oud manuscript waarin verhalen van koning Arthur, tovenaar Merlijn en de Ridders van de Ronde Tafel worden beschreven, heeft op een veiling in Londen een fortuin opgeleverd. Het boek, dat meer dan zevenhonderd jaar in privéhanden was, werd verkocht voor ruim 2,2 miljoen pond...

"Every so often, a discovery comes along that reminds us how much of #Jewish #history still lies hidden on library shelves, in forgotten archives, and within private collections. For collectors, scholars, and anyone fascinated by the world of rare #Hebrew #books and #manuscripts, such moments are exceedingly rare. This is one of them.
An entirely unknown, previously unpublished eighteenth-century #Kabbalistic #manuscript has surfaced from a private collection and has now been officially consigned for sale through #Mizrahi #Bookstore. More than simply another #handwritten volume, this remarkable #codex opens an extraordinary window into the formative years of #Lurianic #Kabbalah in Eastern #Europe, decades before these teachings became widely available in print.
The manuscript is a unique recension of the Lurianic #Kavvanot, the intricate mystical intentions associated with prayer, for #Shabbat and the Jewish festivals. Dated to 1717[...]"

"A remarkable discovery has recently emerged from among a group of rare #books and #manuscripts consigned to my shop: an unrecorded eighteenth-century #Hebrew autograph manuscript penned by #Rabbi #YekutielGordon, one of the most fascinating and consequential members of the inner circle of Rabbi #MosheChaimLuzzatto, the #Ramchal.
Hidden from public view for centuries, this extraordinary #manuscript came to light only through careful examination of a collection entrusted to the shop for sale.
The manuscript itself is modest in size – approximately 4.5 by 6.5 inches – but immense in significance. Consisting of one hundred surviving double-sided folios, it preserves what appears to be a previously unknown work entitled #MarehKohen, together with a section of #MarehMussar, a work already known to scholars and associated with Rabbi Yekutiel Gordon.
Mareh Kohen focuses largely on the themes of #Elul, #teshuvah, the #YamimNoraim, and the profound symbolism of the #shofar."

"Timing is everything. On the day #HelenGraham moved into a new flat in #Hackney she signed the deal on her #recipebook, #Centrepiece. On the day after she moved out she handed in the #manuscript.
“You could say that Centrepiece was bookended by the flat, which was the perfect place to do all the #recipe testing because it had a huge island in the #kitchen,” she tells me via Zoom from her new flat, which doesn’t have the same space.
Formerly executive #chef at famed #vegetarian #restaurant #Bubala, which opened in #Spitalfields in 2019, Helen, 38, had always wanted to write a recipe book. “After Bubala, I felt there was a gap in the market for a vegetarian entertaining #book."

#Editors, what do you do when a client’s #manuscript needs an edit but the #schedule is short? First, don’t panic.
