    Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of a hypothesis put forward by Paul Canart at a conference held in Namur in 2012 (“Comment le Livre s’est fait livre”), presented in the previous article of this same volume, according to which, in the Codex Basilianus (Vat. gr. 2106 + Marc. gr. 1), the books of Esther and A-B Esdras were originally found at the end of this Bible, after the New Testament. After a brief presentation of the book, the various material and textual elements that make it possible to understand its internal structures will be systematically analysed in order to best reconstruct the main lines of its architecture. By the end of this investigation it will be possible to assert that the eminent scholar’s suggestion, however surprising it may be, has every chance of being correct.

    Abstract: This contribution provides a succinct overview of the development of the production of complete Latin Bible throughout the Middle Ages, followed by a more in-depth investigation of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It is based on a census of 2,679 existing manuscripts (of which 554 were consulted). The expression “complete Bibles” refers to Bibles in one volume or in several volumes from the same editorial project; however, some biblical books - and especially the Psalter, the Gospels, Baruch and the 3rd Book of Ezra - are not always present. The article therefore focuses on the configuration in one or more volumes and the “completeness” of these Bibles over time, their correlation with the geographical origin and the first known owners, as well as their size. During the eleventh and twelfth centuries the majority of Bibles are giant manuscripts, often in two or three volumes. It is only from the thirteenth century that one-volume Bibles became the norm, and they contain the entire biblical text with a fixed order of the books. Finally, the contribution highlights the process of compressing the biblical text that enabled the size of the manuscripts to be reduced until the appearance of portable Bibles during the first half of the thirteenth century. In this context, a little group of smaller and more handy manuscripts of the twelfth century (7 specimens) has been identified. It testifies the transformation of the uses of the Bible at the turn of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when complete Bibles moved from a mainly collective use to a mainly personal use.

    Abstract: In anticipation of the symposium organised by Chiara Ruzzier and Xavier Hermand in Namur in 2012 (“Comment le Livre s’est fait livre”), Paul Canart and Patrick Andrist looked at the Greek pandects of the first millennium, dividing the workload. Paul Canart chose to focus on the three partially preserved pandects from the ninth and tenth centuries (Codex Basilianus = Vat. gr. 2106 + Marc. gr. 1 ; Codex Pariathonensis = Par. gr. 14 + Stavronikita 29 ; Bible of Patrice Leon = Reg. gr. 1). Unfortunately, his paper did not make it into the 2015 proceedings as he had hoped to travel to Venice to continue his work, as well as adapt his text to the latest thinking on the Syntaxe du Codex. However, he kindly sent Patrick Andrist his notes, which were already substantial on many points and partially drafted, and later encouraged him to further pursue this task. It is as a tribute to the pioneering work of this outstanding researcher, as well as in memory of a dear friend and for documentary purposes, that his written notes, which inspired an article that appeared in 2020 as well as my research presented in this same volume, are published here. These notes therefore reflect the state of Paul Canart’s unfinished research in 2012. Unless otherwise indicated, all changes made have been limited to typographical corrections, standardising according to this volume’s editorial rules, and finishing a few incomplete sentences ; some points have however been made in notes added to the article. The sometimes oral style of this text, which was written to serve as a basis for the presentation in Namur, has been preserved. (PA).
