- Additional information
- This electronic Catalogue (553 pp) is the first full analytical catalogue of the Greek Manuscript Collection of Lambeth Palace Library (LPL), consisting of 55 codices dated between the tenth and seventeenth centuries acquired by LPL since 1610. The Catalogue, which was made publicly available in 2016, has a particularly high level of detail and is technically innovative in its application of twenty first-century digital technologies. Dendrinos - with the support of a two-year grant (£121,000) from The A.G. Leventis Foundation – devised and drove the project, bringing together scholars from disciplines including palaeography, codicology, literature, theology, history, art, IT and digital humanities. The composition of the Catalogue was a thus collaborative endeavour that involved contributions of different kinds from members of the team, but over which Dendrinos, drawing directly on his palaeographical expertise, had control, viz.: palaeographical and codicological examination of the manuscripts; identification of manuscripts, types and styles of script, scribes, annotations, texts and editions; and coordinating the work of the technical team. The Catalogue's palaeographical and codicological descriptions have been reviewed as "the fullest of their kind in any existing catalogue of Greek manuscripts" (G. Parpulov, Journal forManuscript Studies, 2, 1 (2017), p. 243).
