Khalidov A. [Review:] Scribes et manuscrits du Moyen-Orient, sous la direction de François Déroche et Francis Richard. Paris: Bibliothèque nationale de France, 1997, 399 pp. // Manuscripta Orientalia. Vol. 4. No. 1. March 1998. P. 65—66.
In June 1994, the Bibliothèque nationale de France (henceforth
— BNF), known for its stimulating initiatives in the
field of codicology, organized an international colloquium
on manuscripts of the Near East. The publication under review
here was prepared on the basis of papers delivered at
the colloquium. The materials, in both French and English,
each introduced by a short summary in the second language,
are grouped in four thematic sections. Most of the papers
are characterized by a striving to diversify and perfect
methods of manuscript study. This finds its reflection in
stressed attention to detail in the examination of individual
manuscripts and in the compilation of information about
large numbers of manuscripts into tables and diagrams. The
book is notable for its high standard of typography, and
photographic plates presenting manuscripts from various
collections, mostly from the BNF, are well reproduced (the
list of illustrations at the end runs to more than 130 items)...
