Aus dem Vorwort Mit dem vorliegenden Katalog erscheint der erste Band der koptischen Handschriften der Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz zu Berlin, in dem ein Teil der liturgischenManuskripte dieser Bibliothek beschrieben wird. Die Einarbeitung in die Berliner Handschriften wurde zum einen durch das handschriftliche "Verzeichnis der Koptischen Handschriften der Koniglichen Bibliothek zu Berlin" aus der Feder von Ludwig Stern (1846-1911), zum anderen durch einschlagige Aufzeichnungen von Alexander Bohlig (1912-1996) und Hans Quecke (1929-1998) erleichtert. Es werden moglichst detallierte Beschreibungen geben, damit die liturgischen Sequenzen durchsichtig werden. Nicht selten werden interessante oder singulare Texte in toto ausgeschrieben. Wie in den schon vorliegenden Banden werden keine Emendationen vorgenommen, noch Sics erteilt. Zur Erhohung der Anschaulichkeit sind dem Band wieder eine Reihe von Fototafeln beigefugt, die wichtige Kolophone und signifikante illuminierte Seiten zeigen. "Der Katalog ist, auch das darf in einem solchen Fall erwahnt werden, in guter Druckqualitat auf hochwertigem Papier gedruckt. [...] (es) findet sich alles, was das wissenschaftliche Herz begehren mag, in den ausserst sorgfaltig gearbeiteten umfangreichen Indices. [...] Die Bedeutung der beschriebenen Handschriften lasst hoffen, dass nicht nur koptologisch interessierte Forschungseinrichtungen, sondern auch die liturgiewissenschaftlichen Institute diesen Katalog erwerben."

According to a longstanding interpretation, book religions are agents of textuality and logocentrism. This volume inverts the traditional perspective: its focus is on the strong dependency between scripture and aesthetics, holy books and material artworks, sacred texts and ritual performances. The contributions, written by a group of international specialists in Western, Byzantine, Islamic and Jewish Art, are committed to a comparative and transcultural approach. The authors reflect upon the different strategies of »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and elaborate forms. They show how the pretypographic cultures of the Middle Ages used book ornaments as media for building a close relation between the divine words and their human audience. By exploring how art shapes the religious practice of books, and how the religious use of books shapes the evolution of artistic practices this book contributes to a new understanding of the deep nexus between sacred scripture and art.

The present volume is the main achievement of the Research Networking Programme 'Comparative Oriental Manuscript Studies', funded by the European Science Foundation in the years 2009-2014. It is the first attempt to introduce a wide audience to the entirety of the manuscript cultures of the Mediterranean East. The chapters reflect the state of the art in such fields as codicology, palaeography, textual criticism and text editing, cataloguing, and manuscript conservation as applied to a wide array of language traditions including Arabic, Armenian, Avestan, Caucasian Albanian, Christian Palestinian Aramaic, Coptic, Ethiopic, Georgian, Greek, Hebrew, Persian, Slavonic, Syriac, and Turkish. Seventy-seven scholars from twenty-one countries joined their efforts to produce the handbook. The resulting reference work can be recommended both to scholars and students of classical and oriental studies and to all those involved in manuscript research, digital humanities, and preservation of cultural heritage. The volume includes maps, illustrations, indexes, and an extensive bibliography.

This first general history of Greek theatre from Hellenistic times to the foundation of the Modern Greek state in 1830 marks a radical departure from traditional methods of historiography. We like to think of history unfolding continuously, in an evolutionary form, but the story of Greek theatre is rather different. After traditional theatre ended in the sixth and seventh centuries, no traditional drama was written or performed on stage throughout the Greek-speaking world for centuries due to the Orthodox Church's hostile attitude toward spectacles. With the reinvention of theatre in Renaissance Italy, however, Greek theatre was revived in Crete under Venetian rule in the late sixteenth century. The following centuries saw the restoration of Greek theatre at various locations, albeit characterized by numerous ruptures and discontinuities in terms of geography, stylistics, thematic approaches and ideologies. These diverse developments were only 'normalized' with the establishment of the Greek nation state.
