“A Long Shot”. New Acquisitions Exhibition at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in November 2016: View of Some Parts of “Otto Ege Manuscript 14”.<\/p><\/div>\n

Continuing our series on Manuscript Studies<\/a>, Mildred Budny (see Her Page<\/a>) adds new evidence to her earlier reports of some leaves from medieval manuscripts dispersed by\u00a0Otto F. Ege<\/a> (1888\u20131951). <\/em><\/p>\n

Revisions are now in order.\u00a0 As we continue to look at, and for, evidence of the dispersed materials, the old and new evidence shows more.\u00a0 While giving some answers, the observations also raise new questions.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Time now for more Updates for Some “Otto Ege Manuscripts”.

Recent research trips and conferences have revealed more evidence for the dispersed “Otto Ege Manuscripts” considered in our earlier blogposts.\u00a0 According to Ege’s own labels, citing Scott Gwara’s Handlist Numbers<\/strong>, and linking to the blogposts (where you may find further references), the manuscripts are Ege Manuscripts 8<\/a>, 14<\/a>, 41<\/a>, 51<\/a>, and 61<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, there emerges a surprising and mysterious connection with a dismembered Old Armenian New Testament manuscript considered before in its own right in a blogpost and downloadable Booklet<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 but now requiring a reconsideration, which may cast fuller light upon associations between Otto Ege and Dawson’s Bookshop.\u00a0 The Plot Thickens.<\/p>\n
