From Parchment to the Network: Manuscript Management and Cataloguing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conservation libraries, which hold manuscripts and are willing to provide catalogues, face the problem of their diversity: each manuscript, document or archive has its own features, due to its history. Information technology helps librarians both to record ancient documents descriptions, dealing with highly non-standard data, and to allow their dissemination. Biblioteca Ambrosiana collaborates with DSI of the Università degli Studi di Milano to find solutions to a variety of problems related to management, catalogue and description of these documents. In this paper we present some results: a topographical inventory and a filter to interface and make compatible archives of manuscript documents in Manus, a relational DB distributed in Italy, and XML descriptions, adopting the DTD for manuscripts defined by the EU Project MASTER.

متن کاملApplication of FT-Raman spectroscopy to the characterisation of parchment and vellum, I; novel information for paleographic and historiated manuscript studies.
Raman spectra of parchment and vellum have been recorded and used to characterise materials used in mediaeval (10th century) and later works. These studies support our work on the characterisation of pigments used in historiated manuscripts and provide the basis for future studies of the interaction between pigments, binders and parchment or vellum. Examination of the undecorated parts of the m...
