The database has as its focus the making of Biblical manuscripts: their “architecture”, their Sitz im Lebenand their development over time. Hence, it contains metadata, such as information on textual features, dating, scribes, owners, locations etc., but no digital images of manuscripts or full text transcriptions; rather it links to the best available resources.

The Index of Armenian Manuscripts lists Armenian manuscripts digitized and available in full access in digital libraries. It compiles the main metadata available in the catalogs (dimensions, support, title, number of pages, copy date) and offers direct access to the document. Most of the manuscripts are available via IIIF, and are therefore viewable with the Mirador viewer.

June 28-30, 2023

In 2023 one of the most important schools of Georgian literature and culture studies – the National Center of Manuscripts in Tbilisi will celebrate its 65th anniversary. In 2023 the Georgian monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos will turn 1040 years old.

For the National Center of Manuscripts, the coincidence of these two dates has a special and symbolic meaning. This is because the spiritual and intellectual values pursued at the Iviron Literary Centre are close to the scholarly principles that guided the founders of the National Center of Manuscripts. To celebrate these two dates, the National Center of Manuscripts is organizing an international scientific conference – “Georgian Manuscript Heritage” – to take place on June 28-30, 2023.

8–10 November 2023

Conference: “Priests and their Manuscripts in the Holy Land and Sinai” Submission of abstracts (300 words max.) for 20-minute papers dealing with manuscriptscopied, owned, and used by priests in Sinai and Palestine during the Byzantine and immediate post-Byzantine period in the languages of the Christian Orient, to to Giulia Rossetto (giulia.rossetto@oeaw.ac.at) no later than March 15, 2023.

November 23 & 24, 2023

The conference aims at exploring the link between the readings of the Gospels during liturgical services and the calendars they are included in. First focused on liturgical calendars and prescriptions in Greek manuscripts (Tetraevangelia, Lectionaries, Typica,...) reflecting different rites (Hagiopolite Liturgy, Constantinopolitan Liturgy, transitional forms...), the conference gives the opportunity to enter into dialogue with specialists in other traditions from Christian East and West (Arabic, Armenian, Ethiopian, Latin, Old Slavonic, Syriac,...).

Submission of title and abstract until May 31 to: m.geiger@lmu.de.
