This chapter is about beghards in Maastricht who, around 1500, collected more than 150 single-leaf woodcut prints and engravings and glued them into an elaborate book of hours, the hulk of which is now in London, British Library Add. Ms. 24332. This is also the story of a curator who, in 1861, cut t...

Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are credited with having invented Synthetic Cubism when they pasted newspaper, wallpaper, and rope to the surfaces of images. They then wrote words, or parts of words, painted, and made marks on the surfaces of their multi-media objects. Marks they made united the va...

4. Manuscripts with Prints: A Sticky Idea

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Kathryn M. Rudy (30 avr. 2020)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

As part of my regular job as curator of illuminated manuscripts at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (from 2006–2009) I acquired a few items for the collection. A manuscript written in the vernacular from the Meuse valley, near Roermond or Venlo, with numerous prints pasted into it (and not ripped or cut...

2. A Novel Function for the Calendar in Add. Ms. 24332

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Kathryn M. Rudy (30 avr. 2020)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

The broken manuscript, with its calendar, revealed something important about how the beghards organised information; specifically, it showed how they exploited fungibility. It took several months to crack the secrets of the beghards’ calendar. Once I understood it, I realised that fungibility was a...

3. The Beghards in the Sixteenth Century

One day in 2006 when I had called up the print of St Mark (643, see fig. 37) in the BM’s paper mine, another rich vein presented itself. I worked this vein in the same sessions as pursuing the mother lode of Add. 24332. In the nineteenth century, curators mounted duplicate prints from the same matri...

Image, Knife, and Gluepot

Kathryn M. Rudy (30 avr. 2020)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

In this ingenious study, Kathryn Rudy takes the reader on a journey to trace the birth, life and afterlife of a Netherlandish book of hours made in 1500. Image, Knife, and Gluepot painstakingly reconstructs the process by which this manuscript was created and discusses its significance as a text at...

Part I: The modular method

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Kathryn M. Rudy (13 juil. 2017)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Toward the end of the fourteenth century, the manner in which manuscripts were made changed dramatically. In the late fourteenth and throughout the fifteenth centuries, book makers created their wares increasingly with what I call the modular method, an approach to construction that takes into accou...

Part IV: Complicated interventions and complete overhauls

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Kathryn M. Rudy (13 juil. 2017)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

As the examples above demonstrate, people changed their books, adding physical material where necessary, in order to update older books to new situations. Scribes fitted texts into existing spaces. They wrote new texts on added quires. And owners were probably also able to buy quires of texts off th...

Part V: Patterns of desire

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Kathryn M. Rudy (13 juil. 2017)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

This study has analyzed book production at a time before forced obsolescence. Manuscripts could have useful careers for decades or even centuries. Medieval book makers were in the business of creating something of duration. This conformed to a particular style of reading, for which an individual wou...

In response to an event in the Soviet Union in 1953 George Orwell wrote, “He who controls the present controls the past, and he who controls the past controls the future.” He was referring to an incident that involved a strategic adjustment to a book. Stalin had just died, and Lavrentiy Pavlovich Be...

Part II: Changes that did not require rebinding

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Kathryn M. Rudy (13 juil. 2017)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

My discussion thus far has shown that the modular way of making manuscripts multiplied the amount of blank space in them, which owners often desired to fill. Nearly all manuscripts, whether they were made modularly or not, also have blank space at the very beginning and very end of the book, in the...

Part III: Changes that required rebinding

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Kathryn M. Rudy (13 juil. 2017)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

The augmentations outlined above did not require the book owner to take the book apart. Owners and users simply made use of the blank and available space, and filled it with desired words and images. Every doodle, and most notes of ownership inscribed into the fronts (or backs) of books comprise add...

Piety in Pieces

Kathryn M. Rudy (13 juil. 2017)

Livres et chapitres d'ouvrages

Medieval manuscripts resisted obsolescence. Made by highly specialised craftspeople (scribes, illuminators, book binders) with labour-intensive processes using exclusive and sometimes exotic materials (parchment made from dozens or hundreds of skins, inks and paints made from prized minerals, animal...

Kathryn M. Rudy misst die Verschmutzung mittelalterlicher Handschriften mit einem Densitometer, um herauszubekommen, welche Seiten am häufigsten gelesen wurden. In einer Auswahl religiöser Handschriften stand ein Gebet zum Pestpatron Sebastian auf den schmutzigsten Seiten. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk...
