"The Ars Edendi Lectures have been organized by the research programme at Stockholm University funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond during the years 2008-2015, with a focus on editorial methods for dynamic textual traditions of medieval Greek and Latin texts. This fourth volume gathers contributions both on the fundamentals of editing, as in Glenn Most 'What is a critical edition?', and looking at specifics such as marginalia (Teeuwen), errors (Maggioni), musical notation (Atkinson). Two papers focus on digital tools in editing Greek (Dendrinos) and Latin and early Romance (Robinson) texts. Richard Janko describes the challenges in making out words in Herculaneum papyri. Both traditional and innovative approaches are contemplated in this rich and varied collection by leading experts in the field of editing."

La 4e de couv. indique : "Faire le portrait scriptural de Montpellier durant les 150 ans qui s'étendent de la fin de la seigneurie des Guilhem au passage de la ville sous le contrôle du roi de France, en 1349, tel est le projet de ce livre. Montpellier connaît alors un régime politique consulaire qui confère aux élites urbaines un pouvoir gouvernemental étendu. Le cas singulier de cette grande ville méditerranéenne, dont les archives médiévales ont été remarquablement conservées, permet d'éclairer avec précision la dynamique historique d'essor de l'écrit pratique en Occident et les nouveaux mécanismes de domination et de transaction sociales qui l'accompagnent. L'ouvrage explore ainsi les rapports complexes qui unissent l'histoire de la culture de l'écrit aux formes sociales et politiques d'affirmation des communautés. Il tâche de restituer la spécificité d'un long XIIIe siècle dans l'histoire de l'Occident qui, loin d'être un simple prodrome à la construction de l'État moderne, laisse entrevoir des trajectoires que le cours de l'histoire a reléguées au rang d'occasions manquées. Dans l'analyse des évolutions inscrites dans l'ordre scriptural et documentaire de la ville, ressurgissent des questions qui sont au coeur de la tradition des sciences sociales depuis plus d'un siècle : d'une part, celle de l'essor de la rationalité et de ses rapports avec la bureaucratie. D'autre part, celle des innovations qu'introduit la diffusion de l'écrit dans l'organisation des sociétés."

The paper examines some critical aspects of the manuscript tradition of Boccaccio's Corbaccio, starting from the results of the very few studies on the subject. Besides proposing an updated list of all the 79 available manuscripts that hand down the work, whose yet we don't have any critical edition, he then demonstrates, through a number of examples, the benefits of widening perspective to the codes of the non-α family, but also of a comprehensive reconsideration of the status of α itself. In the absence of a solid classification of the whole manuscript tradition, the "traditional" hypothesis that the α2 group (and in particular the Mannelli codex) represents an advanced redaction of Boccaccio's «umile trattato» risks to be too conditioning if assumed at such a preliminary stage.

Indonesian Manuscripts from the Islands of Java, Madura, Bali and Lombok discusses aspects of the long and impressive manuscript traditions of these islands, which share many aspects of manuscript production. Many hitherto unaddressed features of palm-leaf manuscripts are discussed here for the first time as well as elements of poetic texts, indications of mistakes, colophons and the calendrical information used in these manuscripts. All features discussed are explained with photographs. The introductory chapters offer insights into these traditions in a wider setting and the way researchers have studied them. This original and pioneering work also points out what topics needs further exploration to understand these manuscript traditions that use a variety of materials, languages, and scripts to a wider public.
