The way in which Aristotle’s Analytica Posteriora are explained in this manuscript in large marginal commentaries is illustrated by the analysis of a sample passage.","PeriodicalId":162083,"journal":{"name":"Exploring Written Artefacts","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132370402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There, different cuneiform writing systems have been used by various populations speaking different languages. Cuneiform signs were imprinted on clay, on wood or ivory tablets covered with wax, or engraved on stone and metal. But the great majority of the recovered texts were written on unfired clay tablets. Up to now, ancient Near Eastern archaeologists have unearthed more than a million of original cuneiform texts which are deciphered and studied since the middle of the nineteenth century by Assyriologists. Traditionally, these scholars use to call themselves epigraphists, but when mentioning their source material, they usually speak about manuscripts. In order to understand this paradox, this contribution analyses the various characteristics of clay as a writing medium.","PeriodicalId":162083,"journal":{"name":"Exploring Written Artefacts","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121672813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After an overview of manuscripts in early jazz emphasizing the importance for obtaining copyright, the autograph manuscripts of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme are examined. By comparing the different takes of the recording session and a concert registration to these manuscripts and the liner notes of the album, the role of manuscripts in performances is questioned. For the fourth part of A Love Supreme it is most likely that in the recording session – in contrast to the concert in Antibes – Coltrane had a manuscript of the so-called poem or prayer in front of him, but this cannot have been any of the extant ones. Because of its reliance on improvisation, jazz is generally viewed as the opposite of a musical genre fixed in a score. To the best of my knowledge, there is no history of jazz in which any manuscript plays an important role. There are several reasons for this: First, it is variety in the actual performance – due to jazz’s emphasis on improvisation – and not the score that is considered as the art of jazz. Second, recordings are traces of musicians as originators of jazz and these recordings are regarded as originals; autograph music manuscripts are only appreciated as devotional objects. Third, notated music, either printed or in manuscript form, is considered only an aid for teaching, learning, analysing (transcriptions of recordings, so-called descriptive notation), or preparing a performance (scores, master rhythm parts, lead sheets, and parts, all types of so-called prescriptive notation). Writing jazz history, therefore, is writing the history of albums and recorded concerts documenting the state of the art in performed jazz. However, there are also valid reasons for Robert Witmer’s rejection of this view as the ‘common misconception that jazz is an unwritten music’.

The present article embraces and applies the philosophical framework of object-oriented ontology (triple-O) as developed by the contemporary philosopher Graham Harman in order to appreciate what we can call the ‘pothi manuscript culture’.

This contribution offers a first overview of an ongoing reflection on the identification and delimitation of the various types of contents that can be found in a codex including the notions of BlocConts and UniConts. The analysis of contents raises a number of (partially open) questions concerning their interaction, aimed at a better understanding of the structure of the codex, as well as of its genesis and subsequent transformations. Several reasons led us, a few years after the Syntaxe du codex was originally published, to consider producing a revised and updated edition in English, which should soon appear with the same publisher. Our revision turned out to be longer and more complex than expected and the original text of the Syntaxe has undergone substantial additions and rethinking concerning several points, including the multi-faceted notion of Content.

The booklet is titled Priamel red (‘Priamel speech’) and contains a collection of gnomic texts in Early New High German. The materiality and content of the manuscript reveal it as a special product of a book market that was increasingly dominated by print and in which handmade books became niche products. The later entries and deletions in the manuscript make it clear that the sexually explicit texts in the collection experienced a distinctive reception and provoked reactions. The deletions of the sexually explicit passages could indicate that the texts were initially created for a specific, presumably purely male, readership, and that this readership was to be expanded. 1 The manuscript Cod.

Taking as test case Leonardo da Vinci’s Manuscript with anatomic drawings and notes, which is stored in Weimar, we clarify fundamental steps in the chronology of this folio. By means of microscopy, infrared reflectography, UV photography, and X-ray fluorescence analysis, we were able to identify various types of sketching material and several varieties of iron gall ink. For his sketches, Leonardo used two different sketching tools, a lead pencil and a graphite pencil, as well as several types of ink for developing these sketches into drawings. With regard to ink, it is important to observe that there is no difference between the ink Leonardo used for drawing and the ink he used for writing text. Based on the materials analysed, we suggest a chronology for the creation of this unique folio.","PeriodicalId":162083,"journal":{"name":"Exploring Written Artefacts","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121355675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Renga is poetry jointly created by a group. Of the rules necessary for this, fushimono originally represented a significant part. While in the course of history the scope of the fushimono became more and more limited, it remained as an indispensable paratext. This paper also shows how historical changes to the renga rules and to the function of the fushimono were inextricably linked to the structure and layout of the manuscripts that emerged from the renga sessions. Finally, the paper will introduce the features of fushimono as a paratext in written artefacts, both in manuscripts and prints.","PeriodicalId":162083,"journal":{"name":"Exploring Written Artefacts","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125884882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
