Guía de manuscritos en las bibliotecas universitarias españolas

Los manuscritos conservados en las bibliotecas universitarias son magníficas fuentes de información -en ocasiones únicas- pues no siempre existen ediciones impresas de los textos. Además el propio manuscrito en sí, su soporte, su escritura, ilustraciones y conservación, es, por su propia naturaleza, un elemento de extraordinario valor para el investigador. Sin embargo, aún faltaba una guía que orientase a todas aquellas personas que necesitaban acceder a los riquísimos fondos existentes en nuestras bibliotecas. El presente volumen, fruto del Grupo de Trabajo de Patrimonio de Rebiun, pero también de todos aquellos profesionales que han aportado los datos necesarios y los textos introductorios que sitúan a cada colección en su contexto histórico, viene a cubrir ese vacío existente, convirtiéndose en un instrumento de extraordinario valor en manos del investigador, del profesional de las bibliotecas y también, por qué no, del curioso que desee acercarse al mundo de los manuscritos.

First published as a special issue of the journal Medieval Encounters (vol. 23, 2017), this volume, edited by Josefina Rodríguez-Arribas, Charles Burnett, Silke Ackermann, and Ryan Szpiech, brings together fifteen studies on various aspects of the astrolabe in medieval cultures. The astrolabe, developed in antiquity and elaborated throughout the Middle Ages, was used for calculation, teaching, and observation, and also served astrological and medical purposes. It was the most popular and prestigious of the mathematical instruments, and was found equally among practitioners of various sciences and arts as among princes in royal courts. By considering sources and instruments from Muslim, Christian, and Jewish contexts, this volume provides state-of-the-art research on the history and use of the astrolabe throughout the Middle Ages. Contributors are Silke Ackermann, Emilia Calvo, John Davis, Laura Fernández Fernández, Miquel Forcada, Azucena Hernández, David A. King, Taro Mimura, Günther Oestmann, Josefina Rodríguez-Arribas, Sreeramula Rajeswara Sarma, Petra G. Schmidl, Giorgio Strano, Flora Vafea, and Johannes Thomann.

Alongside annals, chronicles were the main genre of historical writing in the Middle Ages. Their significance as sources for the study of medieval history and culture is today widely recognised not only by historians, but also by students of medieval literature and linguistics and by art historians. The series The Medieval Chronicle aims to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds. There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of a yearbook. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Eu...
