Lectionarium et Pontificale Catharense 1166

Blehova Čelebić Lenka

Summary

Lenka Blechova Čelebić: Lectionarium et Pontificale Catharense 1166

"Pontifical of the Diocese of Kotor (the correct title of the monumental monograph of Lenka Blehova Čelebić: Lectionarium et Pontificale Catharense 1166) not only belongs to the Western cultural tradition, but also creates it, when the West is still half a desert: the middle of the 12th century. In an era when "Europe represents a minefield, full of heresies and heretics" in small Kotor, the teachings of the highest religious and cultural authorities are interpreted. The monumental illustrated monograph is composed of 404 pages of a phototype edition of the original manuscript, and 100 pages of the author's text, with interpretations and critical apparatus on each page, along with a bibliography and scientific apparatus in twelve languages. The author found over 1,000 quotations from a total of 73 books of the Bible in the original text and published them in the margin along with the manuscript original, which is equivalent to "looking for a needle in a haystack", as it is popularly said in paleography. It is not known for sure where the manuscript was made, whether in one of the Beneventan monasteries in Southern Italy, or, possibly, in a scriptorium in Boka Kotorska, but it is certain that the indications in the scientific study with this edition shed light on the problem and on a potential solution in the future. No manuscript in this part of the world is as old as Gutenberg's press 300 years.

Bibliophile edition, very rare. In original packaging.
