"As #YIVO Institute for #Jewish Research archivists pored over 200,000 pages of materials from the #literary estate of acclaimed #Yiddish #writer Chaim Grade, which the #nonprofit acquired in 2010 after Grade’s widow died, they knew of rumors of an unpublished novel. Several years into their research, they found the #manuscript of Sons and Daughters, which, with YIVO’s help, was #published in English last month.

Excavating lost Jewish cultural gems has been a cornerstone of YIVO’s mission for 100 years, since it was founded in 1925, according to Jonathan Brent, the nonprofit’s CEO, who has led the organization for more than 15 years."

When I teach #palaeography I tell my students that the history of handwriting is the history of people. This #manuscript proves it: copied personally by #Petrarch, one of the great poets of the Italian #Renaissance, it ends abruptly at the top of a page, when Petrarch suddenly died in July 1374. We only know this context thanks to painstaking palaeographical and historical research.

"Ich musste sehr dafür sorgen, dass die Berichterstattung nicht zu Dan-Brown-mäßig wird," sagt Dirk Schultze, einer der beiden Entdecker einer mittelalterlichen Handschrift an der @stabi_berlin. Doch die Geschichte hinter diesem Manuskript liest sich mindestens genauso spannend wie der "Da Vinci Code": spkmagazin.de/2025/der-moench-

www.spkmagazin.deDer Mönch und die HandschriftVon dem Benediktinermönch Ranulf Higden (ca. 1280-1364) aus Chester ist nicht viel überliefert. Dabei war er einer der bekanntesten englischen Gelehrten des Spätmittelalters und Verfasser einer umfangreichen Weltchronik. Nun haben zwei Forscher an der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz eine spektakuläre Entdeckung gemacht: ein verloren geglaubtes Handbuch Higdens zur lateinischen Grammatik. Hier berichten sie, wie es zu dem Sensationsfund kam.

Holograph manuscript of “Address to the Unco Guid” with headnote to John Leslie, dated June 1789 – this appears to be the only known ms. of the poem in the poet’s hand. Part of the G. Ross Roy Collection at the University of South Caroline, via the Library of Congress

The Library of CongressAddress to the Unco Guid or the Rigidly Righteous.Robert Burns (1759-96) is best known for his poems and songs that reflect Scotland's cultural heritage. He was born in Alloway, Ayrshire, Scotland, the first of seven children belonging to William Burnes, a tenant farmer, and his wife Agnes Broun. Burns had little formal education, but he read English literature and absorbed the traditional, largely oral Scots-language folk songs and tales of his rural environment. He began to compose songs in 1774, and published his first book, Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, in 1786. The work was a critical success, and its poems in both Scots and English, on a range of topics, established Burns's broad appeal. While building his literary reputation, Burns worked as a farmer, and in 1788 he was appointed an excise officer in Ellisland. He spent the final 12 years of his life collecting and editing traditional Scottish folk songs for collections including The Scots Musical Museum and A Select Collection of Original Scotish [sic] Airs for the Voice. Burns contributed hundreds of Scottish songs to these anthologies, sometimes rewriting traditional lyrics and setting them to new or revised music. Burns sent a copy of Thomas Randall's Christian Benevolence to John Leslie in June 1789, "as a remembrance of his interest in the Case lately before Ayr Presbytery." The "Case" refers to a running dispute between the Reverend William Auld, minister at Mauchline, and Burn's friend Gavin Hamilton, who was charged with unnecesary absences from church. The Presbytery of Ayr and the Synod of Glasgow ultimately found in Hamilton's favor, but the pitting of Auld Licht (conservative) against New Licht (liberal) aroused considerable interest and animosity in the vicinity, giving rise to Burns's great satire "Holy Willie's Prayer." Burns then transcribed the entire text of his poem "An Address to the Unco Guid or the Rigidly Righteous," on the endpapers and blank preliminary pages of the copy. This appears to be the only known manuscript of the poem in the poet's hand. A collation with the first printing of the poem in the 1787 Edinburgh edition shows several minor differences, and one major variant. In stanza seven, where Burns points out that "To step aside is human," the last two lines read "An just as lamely as can ye mark, / How far perhaps they rue it." The manuscript version appears to make better sense with the word "plainly" in lieu of "lamely."
