Text in English & German. This volume contains articles of
relevance for books, manuscripts and libraries, for example new
acquisitions in the National and University Library of Iceland,
Icelandic manuscripts in the British Library, types of medieval
bindings in the University Library of Uppsala and marks of previous
ownership on books in the Royal Library in Copenhagen, a digital
exhibition resulting from the great theft of books from the library
that has been described in Care and conservation 9, on the binding
structures of medieval Armenian manuscripts, and on a method
employed for the examination of the tools used in the cover
decoration of Byzantine manuscripts. There are also articles on
plaited silk strings found on medieval documents, on vegetable dyes
in English medieval manuscripts, on paper manufacture in Denmark in
the 17th century, and on traditional methods of paper production in
Nepal. In connection with storage conditions there are
presentations of an investigation of the air quality in the new
archive at the Arnamagnaean Collection in Copenhagen with passive
climate control, of considerations in connection with the planning
of new book stores in the Royal Library there, and a report of a
Russian-Dutch project on methods for assessing damage in large
collections. On conservation in general there are accounts of
developments in the conservation of parchment in Hungary, of the
treatment of damage to paper manuscripts caused by iron-gall ink
corrosion and of the use of synthetic polymers and various types of
glue in paper conservation. On the conservation of individual
manuscripts there are accounts of the conservation of the section
of the 4th-century bible manuscript Codex Sinaiticus that is kept
in the British Library, of the 16th-century paper manuscript known
as the Fish Book which is kept in the Royal Library in the Hague,
and of a group of Turkish Quran-manuscripts kept in the Mevlana
Musum in Konya. Finally there are descriptions of the procedures
involved in the digital registration of the manuscript collection
in St Catherine's monastery in Mount Sinai, and of a considerate
method for photographing medieval manuscripts prior to
digitisation.
