Download or read book Digital Reconstruction of a Dismembered Book of Hours Illuminated by Robert Boyvin written by Carla Rossi and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume digitally reconstructs a 15th-century Book of Hours illuminated by Robert Boyvin, which was dismembered by a notorious American dealer. Utilising the WBRM methodology, it integrates digital humanities and philological research to restore the manuscript, addressing the ethical challenges associated with manuscript dismemberment. The study examines the manuscript’s historical context, its connection to Cardinal Georges d’Amboise, and Louis de La Londe. Through provenance and dating analysis, it provides a comprehensive understanding of this cultural treasure and advocates against biblioclasm. It underscores the ethical responsibility of preserving our heritage, critiques the complicity of some scholars in manuscript dismemberment, and highlights the omission of critical information in cataloguing platforms. Aimed at scholars, preservationists, and enthusiasts, this book revitalises a dismembered masterpiece and enriches the discourse on the ethical handling of historical artefacts.

Mark Evans examines the individual histories of each of the surviving portions of the book.
