Polosin Val. [Review:] Lucy-Anne Hunt. The Mingana and Related Collections. A Survey of lllustrated Arabic, Greek, Eastern Christian, Persian and Turkish Manuscripts in the Selly Oak Colleges, Birmingham: s.a. [1997?], 93 pp. // Manuscripta Orientalia. Vol. 8. No. 3. September 2002. P. 66—67.
The short book under review here (henceforth, the Survey)
was conceived by its author to complement already published
catalogues of Eastern manuscripts held at the Library
of the Selly Oak Colleges, Birmingham. A bibliography of
those catalogues is given in the first chapter of the Survey
(pp. 2–4) entitled “Introduction”. It is accompanied by
a description of the library collection by language. The following
collections are thus described: Arabic manuscripts
(Muslim and Christian). Persian, Turkish, Syriac, Greek,
Armenian, and Ethiopian manuscripts and scrolls; papyrae;
fragments of Jewish manuscripts (mainly from the Cairo
Genizah), fragments from Georgian manuscripts from
Sinai, etc. The author of the Survey explains (p. 3) that
an addition to existing descriptions was necessary because
at the time of the initial cataloguing of the Birmingham
manuscript collections, questions of manuscripts artistic
virtues were given short shrift. Moreover. a portion of the
manuscripts remained uncatalogued up through the present
(their total number is not given). Some of them (Turkish,
Persian and Arabic) are described for the first time in
the Survey (in the tenth, concluding chapter). The author
says the following about the principles of describing
manuscripts in the Survey: “The basic description follows
a format frequently used in manuscript cataloguing: the
measurements, binding, state, date, content of the text,
palaeography, codicology and a list of the illustrations, and
summary bibliography” (p. 3)...
