Accessing Armenian colophons

Objective



This project will make the data in Armenian manuscript colophons from the 5th to the 18th centuries available to modern research, especially from a lexicographic and palaeographic point of view.

Colophons are the personal utterances of scribes, written mostly after having concluded the copying of a text. They contain various information ranging from pleas to remember the scribe and his family to short chronicles of historical events. As such, colophons represent an important source of cultural and historical events which transpired during the production of the manuscripts.

The previously published text of Armenian colophons (about 7500 pages) will be entered into a computer and a database will provide access to the onomastic and lexical material of the colophons. This database will be the basis for an interdisciplinary study of linguistic diversity in the colophons in relation to the spread of scribal schools and centres in the 13th century.
