Spanish priests burned hundreds of images of idols, cult objects, and manuscripts with Mayan hieroglyphs following the conquest of the Yucatan Peninsula, convinced that this would encourage the indigenous population to renounce their ancient beliefs and turn to the Christian God. In so doing they destroyed the memory of a written culture that had existed for over two thousand years. Only four Maya manuscripts—the so-called codices—survived this missionary zeal and the tropical climate of the Yucatan, and these are today kept in museums and libraries in Mexico City, Madrid, Paris, and Dresden. Unlike hieroglyphic texts on stone monuments they do not relay historical events, but instead are mainly divinatory and related to the 260-day Tzolk’in calendar, holding predictive information about the success or failure of everyday activities on favourable or unfavourable days. The author uses a farmers’ almanac from the Dresden Codex to explain the function of Maya calendars, to discuss the significance of time, and to reconstruct how Mayan calendar priests would read daily predictions in the correlated images and texts and apply them to daily practice.

[pt] Portugal herdou do reino mater de Leão as fontes jurídicas e os seus primeiros códices de Direito. Com o renascimento jurídico do Direito romano, os textos de Ius commune –que chegam muito cedo, logo no século XII– passam a preencher o quotidiano jurídico do reino, desde a media aetas até ao movimento iluminista de finais do século XVIII. Ingentes esforços de investigação se tem feito para localizar cronológica e espacialmente os restos indiciários desses medievos textos jurídicos. Este trabalho pretende fazer uma súmula, com vista a uma perspectiva integral e actualizada, do status quaestionis desta temática.

The collection of manuscripts at the Cistercian library in Szczyrzyc amounts to 100 volumes, including four medieval codices dated between 1460–1494; 12 manuscript books dated to the 17 th century; 57 dated to the 18 th century, and 27 manuscripts dated to the 19 th century. Most of them are textbooks, copies of theological, philosophical and legal treatises, works on rhetoric, liturgy, world history, mathematics and herbal medicine, as well as books of homilies for special occasions and feasts. The collection of manuscripts at the monastery in Szczyrzyc is mostly a functional one – it was used by the monks to study and broaden their philosophical, theological, legal and liturgical knowledge. Several codices contain the texts of homilies delivered at various churches on feast days and solemnities, written down by the monks of Szczyrzyc. The surviving codices are bound in simple covers made of damaged folios taken out from liturgical codices, including antiphonaries and graduals. Considering the small number of surviving books, it is difficult to discuss the interests or influences of particular authors and their works on the intellectual level of the religious community of Szczyrzyc.

Os fragmentos de antigos códices em pergaminho, especialmente quando manuscritos em séculos anteriores ao aparecimento do livro impresso, constituem uma fonte extremamente preciosa para o conhecimento dos antigos autores da cultura ocidental e mediterrânica. Muitos desses fragmentos, utilizados nos séculos XVI a XIX como capas de livros de contabilidade e de gestão, constituem mesmo o único testemunho material de obras desaparecidas ou mesmo desconhecidas. O Projecto FRAGMED - Corpus Fragmentorum Portugaliae pretende fazer um levantamento sistemático dessas fontes para as disponibilizar à comunidade científica.

Fatti paleografici e fatti codicologici sono fenomeni-chiave per la comprensione del codice statutario: le scritture dei notai comunali e la forma del codex rappresentano, d'altra parte, la 'tecnologia' di fatto adottata per conservare e fissare il testo, ma anche per renderlo vivo e vigente, interpretabile ed emendabile. L'articolo presenta una ricognizione di fenomeni peculiari osservabili da questa prospettiva nei tre codici del Breve (cioè lo statuto) del Comune di Pisa dei primi decenni del Trecento. Si tratta dei più antichi codici conservati, immediatamente dopo quello che negli ultimi mesi del 1287 fu realizzato per unire insieme il testo del Breve del Comune e quello del Breve del Popolo, come espressione scritta di una situazione politico-istituzionale del tutto eccezionale sotto il governo di Ugolino della Gherardesca e Nino Visconti. Paleographical facts and codicological observations represent a key in framing the manuscripts of the early italian city statutes: the scripts of notaries and their practices adapted to the structure of the codex made possible to preserve the text of statutes, to use it and to change it. The paper presents from this perspective a phenomenology of selected facts observed in three pisan manuscripts of the first decades of the Trecento, containing the text of the Breve (i.e. the statute) of the Comune. They are the most ancient manuscripts preserved of the Pisan statutes after the manuscript written at the end of the year 1287 during the exceptional governement of Ugolino della Gherardesca and Nino Visconti, which contains both the text of the Breve del Comune and the text of the Breve del Popolo.

Les indications concernant les funérailles de Moctezuma sont contradictoires : on trouve de bréves mentions de funérailles solennelles, mais les sources indiennes tardives préfèrent insister sur un cadavre encombrant et objet de mépris. Le Codex Tudela propose une version atypique, mais ses images correspondent plutôt aux enquêtes générales des premiers évangélisateurs, dont le Codex Magliabechi fournit une tout autre interprétation. Il faut alors glaner des informations dans les chapitres consacrés aux rites funéraires préhispaniques en général ou aux funérailles des prédécesseurs de Moctezuma. Mais ces difficultés révèlent plutôt que la description des funérailles de Moctezuma est un exercice historiographiquement impossible à l’époque coloniale. Las indicaciones sobre los funerales de Moctezuma son contradictorias : se hallan menciones breves de funerales solemnes, pero las fuentes indígenas tardías prefieren insistir sobre un cádaver molesto y vilipendiado. El Códice Tudela propone una versión atípica, pero sus imágenes corresponden más bien a las encuestas generales de los primeros evangelizadores, de las cuales el Códice Magliabechiano propone una interpretación totalmente opuesta. Queda la opción de rebuscar datos en los capítulos dedicados a ritos funerales prehispánicos en general o a funerales de antecesores de Moctezuma. Pero esas dificultades revelan más bien que la descripción de los funerales de Moctezuma es un ejercicio historiográficamente imposible en época colonial.

Un cuarto de siglo después de la Conquista española, se les pide a los sabios indígenas sobrevivientes de elaborar un manuscrito, como lo sabían hacer, en pictografias, sobre su historia. Explicaremos como, en un solo folio, están contenidos, la geografia del corazón del imperio azteca así como la diversidad de los poderes que lo gobiernan., Un quart de siècle après la Conquête espagnole, il est demandé aux lettrés indigènes qui lui ont survécu, de réaliser un manuscrit, comme ils savaient le faire, en pictographies, sur leur histoire. Nous expliquerons comment, sur ce seul feuillet, apparaissent à la fois, la géographie du cœur de l'empire aztèque ainsi que la diversité des pouvoirs qui le régissent.
