The principles of scientific attribution of liturgical cyrillic manuscripts, which has been worked out by author, are examined. The thorough study of Jerusalem Ecclesiastic Typikon from the rare books and manuscripts department’s collection of Maksymovych Scientific Library of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is conducted. The stages of manuscript attribution are analyzed, including the date identification and localization of its origins and use. The type and the title of the codex have been identificated by the analysis of book’s texts. The linguistic variant of Church Slavonic language, used for re-writing the copy, is revealed, which has helped to localize the place of creation. Detailed watermark analysis of paper, which the copy had been made of, has allowed to estimate date range of its production. The problematic ascertainment of the date of creation has been also supported by the analysis of the textual sources, studying of palaeographic peculiarities of cyrillic script book, the inner book’s decorative features. The problem of binding production date, its construction, materials and design, is formulated. The state of preservation of manuscript is analysed, which led the author to understanding the extent of book’s relevance for its readers. The history of manuscript restoration and its stages have been studied. The places of use and migration of the copy are revealed on the basis of provenance examination up till its arrival to Maksymovych Scientific Library’s rare books collection. Key words: Jerusalem Ecclesiastic Typikon, manuscript, Cyrillic manuscript, attribution, codicology, Maksymovych Scientific Library of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.

A library at a small liberal arts university receives from a donor an old book, which has long been assumed to be a Mayflower Bible. A staff librarian who is not accustomed to dealing with rare books reflects on the process of determining the true identity of the volume, its provenance, and the story behind it, with particular interest in the value of this experience to a library whose special collections are limited. Attention to the history of the book and of print culture demonstrate that even the most unlikely library gifts can serve the liberal arts institution through their value both as text and as artifact.

Abstract The history of the Jiangsu Provincial Guoxue Library (Jiangsu shengli guoxue tushuguan 江蘇省立國學圖書館) during the Nanjing Decade (1927-1937) demonstrates how China’s intellectual and material legacies—rare books in this case—were given new meaning and put into use in the form of a modern public library. Unpacking both the discursive and practical meanings of the ‘publicness’ of the library, this article demonstrates that during this transitional period, rare book collection became both a spiritual and material site where Chinese scholar-collectors and librarians inscribed their political ideals and advocacy, promoted research into China’s past, and inherited centuries-old practices from the literati-collectors of the premodern era.

History Of Navigation

A country that frowns on rich men must be content to let its rare books cross the ocean. Certainly it will lose all those which make no appeal to the literary man, and those to which the devotee of ‘pure’ science is indifferent, since these are the two groups who might be consulted before such a transference, or whose protests would be listened to. Hence it is that, because only a tiny minority has as yet been interested in the crude beginnings of applied science and technology, a discerning American member of the Institute, Mr. Henry C. Taylor, has formed a collection of about one hundred and fifty books which tell the story of how skippers and pilots were taught to set course and make port during the Great Age of Discovery and Colonization. Nearly half of these books are in English, and this is understandable, for although the pioneers of the new methods of navigation were the Portuguese, the English sailor took pride of place after the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Mr. Taylor appears at one time to have been satisfied with the breezy statement of Captain Smith of Virginia in 1626 that the seaman was sufficiently equipped if he had his Almanack, his Waggoner, a manual or two, and knew a good instrument-maker like Master Bates on Tower Hill. But one book leads to another, and, having got together these half-dozen books, he began to study them.

Women’S History

The history of sexuality is a recent field. As a domain of scholarly inquiry, it emerged in the late 1970s, partially the outgrowth of women's history and partially the product of the lesbian/gay movement. Its foundational text is the first volume of Michel Foucault's The History of Sexuality, published in French in 1976 and translated into English two years later. This is among the rare books that are truly pathbreaking, taking what was regarded as a “natural” phenomenon and showing its deep historicity.
