Cataloguing the Greek Manuscripts of the Pontificio Collegio Greco in Rome

圣塔纳西奥教皇学院成立于1577年，是罗马最古老的教皇学院之一，有着特别丰富的传统。除了许多有价值的早期印刷书籍外，希腊学院今天还拥有一批鲜为人知的22份希腊手稿，这些手稿起源于9/10世纪到18世纪，其中既有世俗文献，也有神学文献。申请者的目的是通过一个以当今科学标准为基础的编目项目进行调查，并提供更好的获取这些法典的途径，该项目由德国联邦研究基金会提供研究经费。唯一可用的目录，汇编于1913年，只提供了手稿的一般性描述，只处理，而不是总是完全的内容，而没有解决法典，古文字学和来源的问题。此外，自那时以来，收藏品不断增加，而且在上个世纪中叶，抄本得到了恢复和修复，这使得对本已不完整的目录进行全面改革变得更加可取。本项目旨在根据目前古典和拜占庭研究中使用的编目模式，对抄本进行详细的描述。重点是从16世纪和17世纪希腊学院的文化环境中鉴定抄写者的手，并研究迄今未被探索的收藏品的来源和组成。手稿的描述应以印刷版形式出版，并可在免费访问的在线数据库Manus上发表。通过这种方式，通过将法典数字化，可以为研究界进一步研究希腊学院的藏书奠定可行的科学基础。

The Pontificio Collegio Greco di Sant'Atanasio, founded in the year 1577, is one of the oldest Pontifical Colleges in Rome and bears a particularly rich tradition. In addition to many valuable early printed books, the Greek College owns today a little known collection of 22 Greek manuscripts originating from the 9th/10th until the 18th centuries that contain secular as well as theological texts. The applicant's aim is to investigate and to provide better access to these codices through a cataloguing project on the basis of today's scientific standards by way of a research grant of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. The only available catalogue, compiled in 1913, offers merely a general description of the manuscripts, dealing only, and not always fully with the content, while not addressing the issues of codicology, palaeography and provenance. Also the fact that the collection increased since then and the codices were rebounded and restored in the middle of the last century, make an overhaul of the already incomplete catalogue all the more desirable. This project intends to carry out detailed descriptions of the codices according to the current cataloguing patterns used in Classical and Byzantine studies. The emphasis is on the identification of scribal hands from the cultural milieu of the Greek College in the 16th and 17th centuries and on the research of the heretofore unexplored origin and composition of the collection. The descriptions of the manuscripts shall be published in a printed volume as well as on the freely accessible database Manus OnLine. In this way and by digitalising the codices viable scientific foundations for further studies on the collection of the Greek College by the research community could be established.
