*Title of the workshop**:*
*The Oriental book.
**I. The Shaping of the Page, the Scribe and the Illuminator at Work.
II. The Making of Oriental Bookbindings and their Conservation
*(COMSt Team 1 - 3rd international workshop & COMSt Team 5 - 5th
international workshop)
*Date**:* 9-13 October 2012
*Venue**:* Arles, Centre de Conservation du Livre (CCL), Enclos
Saint-Césaire, Impasse des Mourgues, 13200 Arles – France.
The workshop is co-organized by Stéphane Ipert (Centre de Conservation du
Livre, Arles, leader of Team 5), Marilena Maniaci (Università degli studi
di Cassino e del Lazio meridionale, leader of Team 1), in cooperation
with Françoise Briquel-Chatonnet (CNRS - UMR 8167, Orient & Méditerranée - Mondes sémitiques).
*Scientific summary**: *
* *
The first two days will address page layout and the status of the Oriental
scribe, focusing on the way the page is shaped, structured and organized
and on the ‘protagonists’ of these operations (scribes, decorators and
illuminators). Individual sessions will focus on page layout (size and
proportion of the page and of the written area; layout canons and recipes;
layout formats and text types); the structuring of contents (initial
letters, titles and rubrics; indexes and tables of contents; running titles
and other elements; decoration and illumination as ‘codicological
features’); the scribe and the illuminator at work (agencies; places;
methods of work; colophons).
The session scheduled for 11 October, organized jointly by Team 1 & 5, will
be devoted to issues of common interests concerning the history,
archaeology and conservation of Oriental bookbindings, approached in a
comparative perspective. Panels within this session will address the study
of materials and manufacturing techniques and their correct description
(including terminological issues).
In the following days (12-13 October) will address issues more
specifically related to the preservation of oriental manuscripts and also
deal with digitization aspects.
All sections will be organized in the form of a roundtable, in order to
encourage the exchange of ideas and data and to facilitate comparison among
the various manuscript cultures.**
