The Pre-Modern Manuscript Trade and its Consequences, ca. 1890–1945
This collection brings together current research into the development of the market for pre-modern manuscripts. Between 1890 and 1945 thousands of manuscripts made in Europe before 1600 appeared on the market. Many entered the collections in which they have remained, shaping where and how we encounter the books today. These collections included libraries that bear their founders’ names, as well as national and regional public libraries. The choic…

Exploring Knowledge Graphs for Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts with SPARQL
This article reports on research into the use of SPARQL for querying knowledge graphs, in the form of Linked Open Data triple stores, which relate to the history and provenance of medieval manuscripts. It looks at several recent initiatives and projects which rely on RDF and SPARQL, including Mapping Manuscript Migrations and the Wikibase implementation of Digital Scriptorium. As well as comparing and evaluating different ways of using SPARQL wit…

Collecting Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in Twentieth-Century Great Britain and North America
Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts were a significant commodity in the antiquarian sales market throughout the twentieth century, sought out by very wealthy collectors and small-scale buyers. The history of this manuscript market has not been analyzed systematically. This article is a first attempt to identify themes and trends across the century, beginning with the dominance of the great American Gilded Age collectors like Henry Huntington and…

Collecting the Past: British Collectors and Their Collections from the 18th to the 20th Centuries
Collecting the past
The nineteenth and twentieth centuries were a great age of manuscript and book collecting in Britain and North America. Historic collections in Britain and Western Europe were being sold in the face of changing economic, social and political conditions for aristocratic and landed families. Identifying and reconstructing these collections is not necessarily a straightforward process. In the case of Alfred Chester Beatty, on the other hand, the pre…
Connecting Medieval and Renaissance Manuscript Collections
This article examines issues affecting the reuse of data relating to collections of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in libraries, museums and archives. These manuscripts are increasingly being made available in digital formats, although the extent is perhaps less than expected; a recent report on the situation in Germany estimated that only about 7.5% of the country’s 60,000 manuscripts had been digitized. Discovering these manuscripts is he…

This paper reports on the development of the Humanities Networked Infrastructure (HuNI), a service which aggregates data from thirty Australian data sources and makes them available for use by researchers across the humanities and creative arts, and more widely by the general public. We discuss the methods used by HuNI to aggregate data, as well as the conceptual framework which has shaped the design of HuNI’s Data Model around six core entity ty…

Unmaking ‘the middle ages’
The idea of 'the middle ages' developed only gradually, out of the attack on the Augustinian view of history, which had dominated thought for nearly a thousand years. Petrarch and the Italian humanists began this attack, claiming a new, third age had begun with the recent revival of culture and the arts. The religious upheavals of the sixteenth century helped produce the idea of a 'middle age' in religion too. The terms used for this period varie…
