Books of hours as text compilations in the Low countries
This paper proposes to analyze specifically the networks of manuscripts and texts in the Books of hours produced in the Low countries to better understand how the interdependence of devotion, commercial imperatives for export and mass production, and of the prevalence of certain uses has given rise to the dissemination and hybridization of texts. The research is part of the HORAE project (ANR-17-CE38-0008) and based on the database of 7282 manuscripts, including 442 manuscripts from the Low Countries.
Books of hours, copied in droves in the Middle Ages, usually contain a calendar, liturgical offices (Hours of the Virgin, Holy Spirit and Cross, Office of the dead, suffrages) and additional texts, esp. prayers in Latin or Vernacular. They supported the devotion of the faithful and adopted liturgical particularities (so called “uses”), in accordance with the geography of production or the patrons’ wishes. They are complex and codified compilations. They circulate and transmit different sets of texts, and consti

About me
I am currently an NWO VENI postdoctoral researcher at the Huygens ING, an institute of the Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam. My current project Innovating Knowledge running until 2021 focuses on early medieval intellectual networks and the role of Isidore of Seville's Etymologies, the most important medieval encyclopedia, as a receptacle and vehicle of innovation in this period. I have began exploring this subject in 2017-18 as a Mellon Fellow at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto.
I received a PhD from Utrecht University in 2016 for my research on annotation symbols in early medieval Western manuscripts. My monograph/handbook of late antique and early medieval annotation symbols was published with Brepols in July 2019: http://www.brepols.net/Pages/ShowProduct.aspx?prod_id=IS-9782503581705-1.

Matteo Valleriani is Research Group Leader in Dept. I, Honorary Professor at the Technische Universität Berlin, Professor for Special Appointments at the Faculty of Humanities at Tel Aviv University, and Principal Investigator of the Project “Images and Configurations in Corpora of University Textbooks” at the Berlin Center for Machine Learning.
In his research, he investigates processes of 1) emergence of scientific knowledge in relation to its practical, social, and institutional dimensions, and 2) homogenization of scientific knowledge in the framework of Cultural Heritage Studies.
Centering on cosmological knowledge, Matteo Valleriani’s current major research project is concerned with the evolution of the scientific knowledge system and with the establishment of a shared scientific identity in Europe in the period between the thirteenth and the seventeenth centuries. In the frame of this project he also co-develops and implements multi-layered network models (sphaera.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de).
