The present volume is the result of a comprehensive investigation of 86 illuminated manuscripts and fragments that are now in the University Library in Graz. Produced between 1225 and 1300, the works almost all came to Graz from monasteries in Styria, Carinthia, and Slovenia, where they were held until the secularizations of the late 18th century.Manuscripts are among the most multifaceted forms of evidence from the Middle Ages, providing invaluable information on the time of their creation and on later periods. The present volume is the result of a comprehensive investigation of 86 illuminated manuscripts and fragments that are now in the University Library in Graz. Produced between 1225 and 1300, the works almost all came to Graz from monasteries in Styria, Carinthia, and Slovenia, where they were held until the secularizations of the late 18th century. The volume approaches this material from an art-historical perspective and sets it within its historical, cultural, and intellectual contexts. Stylistic analysis of the illuminations shows that only a relatively small proportion of the works was made locally, and that most of the manuscripts were imports from major centres of European book production – such as Bologna, Paris, or South France. Die vorliegende Publikation enthält eine wissenschaftliche Tiefenerschließung von 86 illuminierten Handschriften und Fragmenten (1225 bis 1300), die aus säkularisierten Klöstern der Steiermark, Kärntens und Sloweniens stammen und sich heute in der Grazer Universitätsbibliothek befinden.Handschriften gehören zu den vielschichtigsten Zeugnissen des Mittelalters und sind Quellen von unschätzbarem Wert, die wichtige Informationen sowohl zu dieser Epoche als auch zu ihrer Bedeutung für die Gegenwart liefern. Der vorliegende Band basiert auf der wissenschaftlichen Tiefenerschließung von 86 illuminierten Handschriften und Fragmenten, die aus säkularisierten Klöstern der Steiermark, Kärntens und Sloweniens stammen und sich heute in der Grazer Universitätsbibliothek befinden. Zwischen 1225 und 1300 entstanden, wurden die Werke aus kunsthistorischer Perspektive ausgewertet und in ihren historischen, kulturellen sowie intellektuellen Kontext eingebettet. Dabei ließ sich feststellen, dass es sich bei vielen Handschriften um Importe aus großen Buchproduktionszentren Europas, wie Bologna, Paris oder Südfrankreich, handelt und nur verhältnismäßig wenige Werke in den heimischen Konventen entstanden, aus denen sie überliefert wurden.

In Illuminating in Micrography , Dalia-Ruth Halperin analyzes the Catalan Micrography Maḥzor, a fourteenth-century Barcelonan manuscript in Israel’s National Library. Decorated with micrography, the Jewish scribal art typical of Bible manuscripts, this maḥzor, which includes a rich full-page panel micrography cycle, is unique. Along with the codicological and paleographical analysis, essential for understanding the scribe’s thought and working processes, the author’s meticulous reading of the micrography text reveals the scribe’s textual editing and manipulations. Decoding his writing flow and sequences revealed a close association between the penned text and the images formed, which reflect a Jewish theosophical-theurgical cycle. Evidence of the scribe’s association with the renowned Bassa atelier enhances our knowledge of the cultural, economic, and ethnic realities of the time.
