Manuscript Availability

[Clint Hackenburg]

Hello,

I wanted to know if anyone knew if the manuscripts housed in the library of the Greek convent of the Holy Sepulcher are accessible in anyway. Have the manuscripts been digitized? Can copies of particular manuscripts be purchased or viewed? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Clint Hackenburg

The US Library of Congress microfilmed the MSS of the Jerusalem Patriarchate around 1950 – perhaps you would find them there?  I don’t know – maybe someone else on the list knows better.

Clint,

They have a digital camera and have told me that they're doing some digitization. I don't know how much they have actually done, nor how they choose to share it. They have typically been quite protective of their manuscripts. The Librarian, Archbishop Aristarchos, is a kind man though he has to observe the rules established by the patriarchate. The LOC project microfilmed several of their Arabic manuscripts, which are listed in Clark's handlist— I have a copy if you don't have access to it.

I have dealt with Father Aristarchos.  I wouldn't describe him as kind.  He's nice until you ask him to get you a manuscript.  Where can I get a list of manuscripts in the Library of Congress?  Do the Byzantine manuscripts microfilmed there extend to the sevententh and eighteenth centuries or are we dealing with strictly sixteenth century and earlier?

Is there a way I could get a list of manuscripts available in microfilm at the Library of Congress on line or in book form or do you physically have to go in person to see what is available?

if you go to the manuscripts page of the Dumbarton Oaks Syriac resources pages, and then go to 'Jerusalem', we have a link to the LOC checklist. We also have a link to the LOC checklist for St Catherine's under 'St Catherine's.

This should link you directly to a pdf of the checklist of the Jerusalem MSS provided by LOC.
