The Responsories and Versicles of the Latin Office of the Dead
It may seem astonishing to some that there is a need for reprinting a 14-year old dissertation, but the fact is that the book is exactly as relevant to scholars today as it was in 1993. It still represents the world's largest database to compare the responsories of the Office of the Dead in more than 2,000 sources. Since the order of these responsories differed from church to church, this order can be used to localize medieval and Renaissance liturgical books. The book is therefore an absolute necessity for everyone who conducts research on the area it covers. Put differently, the book reveals 'the geography of the concept of death' in Europe from the 9th-16th centuries from a theological, liturgical, ecclesiastical, musical and political perspective - seen from one particular liturgical office: The Office of the Dead.
Martyrologier i Det kongelige Bibliotek og martyrologiet fra Nysted
Helgendyrkelse spillede en central rolle i middelalderens religiøse praksis i hele Europa, og også i Danmark findes der stadig martyrologier på Det kgl. Bibliotek. Tue Gad, der i mange år var tilknyttet Det kgl. Biblioteks håndskriftsamling, fortæller om martyrologier, som er fortegnelser over helgener ordnet efter kalenderen. Bogen giver et spændende indblik i helgener og martyrologiers betydning under den danske middelalder. Tue Gad (1918-2001) var en prominent middelalderforsker, bibliotekar og forfatter, der i mange år var tilknyttet Det kgl. Biblioteks håndskriftssamling. I løbet af sin lange karriere udgav han et væld af bøger om dansk middelalderhistorie og -kultur. Flere af bøgerne er udgivet i samarbejde med hans kone, Bodil Gad.

Da skolen tog form
Da skolen tog form. 1780-1850 handler om en periode, hvor skolen kom til at fylde mere i de fleste borns liv. Allerede fra 1780'erne blev der igangsat skoleforsog pa nogle af landets storste godser, og med anordningerne af 1814 blev undervisningspligten lagt i fastere rammer i det store og sammensatte rige. Fremover skulle born ga regelmAessigt i skole fra de fyldte 7 ar, og indtil de blev konfirmerede. Hvordan skolegangen foregik, afhang imidlertid af, hvor bornene voksede op, og om de var drenge eller piger, rige eller fattige. Der blev ogsa opfort flere og bedre byggede skolehuse i byerne og ude pa landet. En sAerlig lAereruddannelse opstod pa de nye lAererseminarer, og en mere selvbevidst lAererstand voksede frem. Men selvom lovgivning og et skAerpet tilsyn gav storre ensartethed, var mangfoldigheden fortsat stor. Det var saledes nodvendigt med fem forskellige skoleanordninger for at dAekke riget. Lovens rammer blev udfyldt lokalt, og reelt var der nAesten lige sa mange skoleordninger, som der var skoler.
Unlocking the Doors to the Worlds of Guaman Poma and His Nueva corónica
Honored by UNESCO’s Memory of the World designation, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala’s Nueva corónica y buen gobierno (1615) rewrites Andean history in accordance with the author’s goals of reforming Spanish colonial rule in the continent-spanning viceroyalty of Peru. Housed at the Royal Library of Denmark since the 1660s, brought to international attention in 1908, and first published in facsimile in 1936, the autograph manuscript has been the topic of research in Andean ethnology and related disciplines for several decades. Now, on the eve of the 400th anniversary of Guaman Poma’s composition of the Nueva corónica, a renowned group of international scholars has focused fresh attentio...
Manuscripts, Market and the Transition to Print in Late Medieval Brittany
Manuscripts, Market and the Transition to Print in Late Medieval Brittany surveys the production and marketing of non-monastic manuscripts and printed books over 150 years in late medieval Brittany, from the accession of the Montfort family to the ducal crown in 1364 to the duchy's formal assimilation by France in 1532. Brittany, as elsewhere, experienced the shift of manuscript production from monasteries to lay scriptoria and from rural settings to urban centers, as the motivation for copying the word in ink on parchment evolved from divine meditation to personal profit. Through her analysis of the physical aspects of Breton manuscripts and books, parchment and paper, textual layouts, scripts and typography, illumination and illustration, Diane Booton exposes previously unexplored connections between the tangible cultural artifacts and the society that produced, acquired and valued them. Innovatively, Booton's discussion incorporates archival research into the prices, wages and commissions associated with the manufacture of the works under discussion to shed new light on their economic and personal value.
Umisteligt
In January 2007 the Director general of The Royal Library in Copenhagen, Erland Kolding Nielsen turned 60. "Umisteligt" is the festschrift released to mark the occasion. Erland Kolding Nielsen is known for his active participation in the public debate about the protection and preservation of the cultural heritage and the necessity of international co-operation in these matters. He was also instrumental in the planning and building of the Royal Library's new building, known as The Black Diamond. The 35 articles in this book have a wide range: From the Bronze-Age to the Internet, from Peru to Nizhny Novgorod, from Don Quil to the Danish treasury of song, from the worship of saints to the Kulturkampf. However they all have the same point of interception: the manifold Danish cultural heritage and the management of it through time.
