This essay seeks to demonstrate how the well-made catalogue can contribute to our understanding of the poetics of Syriac manuscript cultures. The recent catalogue of Syriac manuscripts and fragments from the library of Deir al-Surian by Sebastian Brock and Lucas Van Rompay is used as a case study. In aggregating the diverse data points found in the catalogue's thick descriptions a nuanced portrait of the creative dynamics of manuscript cultures emerges. In the process of this study Brock and Van Rompay's catalogue is shown to be a rich repository of cultural information, and a magnificent contribution to our understanding of the Syriac library of Deir al-Surian. An appendix provides a topical bibliography of the monastery and Syriac manuscripts of Deir al-Surian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
