Le immagini che vengono qui pubblicate sono state prodotte negli anni 2000-2001 in occasione dei progetti per Bologna 2000 capitale della cultura e attestano lo stato di conservazione dei papiri conseguente gli studi di Orsolina Montevecchi e le operazioni di restauro degli anni 70. A seguito dell’evoluzione degli studi e della campagna di restauro effettuata negli anni 2021-2023 (che porterà a una nuova edizione dei papiri) si è scelto di mantenere online la pubblicazione di queste immagini per preservare la memoria di quegli studi e quei restauri.
De Bononiensi Scientiarum et Artium instituto atque academia commentarii
I codici greci digitalizzati della Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna fanno parte del fondo che si è formato a partire dalla collezione libraria dello scienziato Luigi Ferdinando Marsili (1658-1730), ed è stato successivamente accresciuto da altre donazioni e dal trasferimento alla biblioteca della collezione libraria del monastero dei canonici regolari del SS. Salvatore di Bologna in seguito alle devoluzioni napoleoniche. La riproduzione delle opere è stata realizzata nell'ambito del progetto PRIN 2010-2011-Bibliotheca italica manuscripta (BIM): descrivere, documentare, valorizzare i manoscritti medievali d'Italia (referente scientifico nazionale: prof. Stefano Zamponi, Università degli Studi di Firenze). Il progetto è stato coordinato dal prof. Giancarlo Prato (Dipartimento di Musicologia e Beni Culturali dell’Università di Pavia) e realizzato dalla prof.ssa Paola Degni (Dipartimento di Beni Culturali, Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna) in accordo con la Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna e in collaborazione con AlmaDL.
II fondo, nato come sezione della biblioteca stessa al momento della sua costituzione, raccoglie più di 6000 volumi tra incunaboli, cinquecentine (oltre 700) e preziose edizioni sette-ottocentesche. Le cinquecentine costituiscono la parte più interessante per la varietà dei contenuti e delle forme letterarie che vi sono espressione di un diritto che è stato vigente a livello europeo ben sette secoli.

Images related to the great majority of the inscriptions from Greek Cyrenaica (VII-I BC) and to the Greek verse inscriptions from Greek and Roman Cyrenaica (VII BC-VII AD). Each inscription of the corpus is illustrated with one or several images allowing to understand the typology of the support and to check the proposed readings.
BYZART – Byzantine Art and Archaeology on Europeana - collection arises from the eponym project co-funded by the European Commission as part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program. It gathers a great amount of images and audio-visual materials related to the Byzantine and Post-Byzantine cultural heritage, namely 76273 digital contents. They pertains to 29 previously never exploited archives, sometimes having required restoration and preservation measures. Original analogic archives included slides, glass plates, cardboards, gelatin silver prints, albumen prints, carbon prints, collotypes, photogravures, color prints, transparencies, watercolors, sketches and drawings. In addition, the collection encompasses one music archive of traditional Orthodox church music records and one audio-visual archive about the Byzantine monuments of Cyprus. For digitization purposes, high-standard digitization guidelines have been adopted by content providers. The customized metadata scheme is modelled on the Europeana Data Model and embeds Linked Open Data resources in order to ensure project interoperability and searchability. Most of the collection regards a great array of artistic and cultural expression related to the Byzantine Empire and its legacy. In order to maintain coherence and consistency with the original composition of archival collections, some records related to the Roman Imperial period are also included since comprised in the analogic collections. Therefore, the chronological range of BYZART collection spans from the 1st to the 20th c. AD and date references are categorized as follows: Imperial/Late Roman (1st-3rd c. AD); Early Byzantine/Late Antique Period (4th-6th c. AD); Byzantine Early Middle Ages (7th-9th c. AD); Middle Byzantine Period (10th-12th c. AD); Late Byzantine Period (13th-15th c. AD); Post-Byzantine (16th-20th c. AD); Western Early Middle Ages (7th-9th c. AD); Western Middle Ages (10th-15th AD). Further chronological details are sometimes included in the description of single items.
Il lavoro di ricerca riguarda lo studio del Codice dantesco miniato su pergamena conservato presso la Biblioteca del Centro Dantesco dei Frati Minori Conventuali di Ravenna. Tale codice è noto alla comunità scientifica internazionale con la sigla di Phillipps 9589 e deve la sua notorietà al fatto non solo di essere l'unico palinsesto dantesco, ma anche di conservare, nella scriptio superior, uno tra i testimoni più antichi di quel ramo della tradizione manoscritta della Commedia di Dante chiamata tradizione a, la cosiddetta antica vulgata.
La ricerca, svolta in più fasi, si è proposta di approfondire gli aspetti tecnico-diagnostici, in particolare le finalità generali sono state:
- valutazione dello stato di conservazione;
- caratterizzazione dei materiali;
- miglioramento della leggibilità del testo dantesco e lettura del palinsesto;
- valutazione dell'ambiente di conservazione;
- digitalizzazione del codice per una fruizione intranet ed internet.
A tal riguardo ci si è avvalsi dell'impiego delle seguenti tecniche diagnostiche non-distruttive anche a scopo documentario:
- fotografia digitale;
- videomicroscopio ad analisi di immagine;
- colorimetria spettrofotometrica;
- fluorescenza a raggi X (XRF);
- colorimetria spettrofotometrica;
- sistema multispettrale per l'acquisizione di immagini (MuSIS Multispectral Imaging System);
- strumentazioni per il monitoraggio ambientale (termoigrometro, luxmetro, prelevatore polveri PTS e PM10)

Il fondo raccoglie i volumi antichi di astronomia acquisiti a partire dalla fondazione nel 1712 della Specola dell'Istituto delle Scienze, primo osservatorio astronomico pubblico in Italia.
Il fondo si costituisce grazie alla passione bibliofila e all’interesse per la storia della medicina veterinaria del prof. Maestrini, attività che hanno affiancato il suo magistero accademico in qualità di titolare della cattedra di Patologia Aviare all’Università di Bologna, Facoltà di Medicina Veterinaria. Il fondo comprende 715 opere a stampa di cui 8 cinquecentine, 11 seicentine, 65 opere del ‘700, 274 dell’800 e 357 della 1. metà del Novecento, oltre a una collezione di 125 bandi ed editti, in massima parte del XVIII o XIX secolo, emanati da autorità pubbliche preunitarie in tema di sanità pubblica.
The archive consists of the digitization of 800 frames divided into two categories: architectural drawings and photo documentation of the architectural monuments from the Byzantine and Post-Byzantine period. In the first category sketches and schemes of the churches are included, as part of the research projects of the architects M. Bichev, Iv. Popov, M. Mileva, Al. Mladenov, T. Grozeva, B. Meshulan, M. Alkakaj etc. from the second half of the 20th century. The collection depicts Christian buildings in Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece.
The collection consists of color photographs from Byzantine monuments in Greece, mainly in Thessaloniki and Dion in Macedonia, with an emphasis on architecture and architectural sculpture
The collection consists of color photographic material from Macedonia (wall decoration of the church of Kountouriotissa in Pieria), Mount Athos (phiale of the Vatopedi monastery), Peloponnese (interior of the church of Saint Sophia in Monemvasia) and some Post-Byzantine icons from the Monastery of Prophet Elias in Zakholi, in Korinthia.
The collection comprises photographic archives bequeathed to the Department of Archaeology of the University of Thessaloniki by eminent scholars. Before digitization, this documentation consisted of photographic prints, slides and negatives, in both b/w and color. The biggest part of it belonged to Stylianos Pelekanidis and it was gathered during his active occupation in Greece as a Byzantinist, a member of the Greek Archaeological Service and, later, a professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The material related to Elli Pelekanidou is also relevant to her activity with the Archaeological service as a Byzantine archaeologist in Thessaloniki. The photographic archive of Stylianos Pelekanidis is the result of his scientific research in places which were under his responsibility in Greece. At Philippi it comprises of the excavation of the Octagonal church complex as well as material from the Christian necropolis; in Kastoria it refers to the documentation of the architecture and painting decoration, as well as to wooden furniture and minor objects of the Byzantine and Post-Byzantine churches of that city; at the area of the Prespes Lakes it includes the documentation of the ruins of St. Achillios basilica and the painting decoration of the monastic hermitages along the shore of the greater lake. Another part of the archive includes photographic documentation of Pelekanidis’ restoration projects in Serres, at the Rotonda and at the Byzantine churches of Prophetes Elias and Agia Aikaterini in Thessaloniki, as well as documentation from his several trips to the monasteries of Mount Athos. The latter part contains photographs and slides of the architecture of the monasteries as well as of their painted decoration, icons and minor objects. A part of the archive consists of material dating before 1953 and it is probably connected with Andreas Xyngopoulos, who was professor of Byzantine Archaeology at the Aristotle University in the early postwar years, and includes old postcards, prints and slides related to Byzantine monuments of Southern Greece. Another part of the photographic archive is related to Pelkanidis’ career as a professor at the Aristotle University. It consists of photographs and slides from the study trips with students to the Byzantine monuments of Greece, Cyprus and the Byzantine monuments of former Yugoslavia. Together with this material, the archive contains a number of prints produced during the research projects of professor Pelekanidis and his associates to the chair of Byzantine Archaeology. Finally, the part of the archive related to Elli Pelekanidou consists of slides from the salvage excavations that she oversaw in lots of the city of Thessaloniki.
The collection consists of b/w and color photographs from Post-Byzantine monuments in Kastoria (Fig. 2). The archive focuses on the documentation of the churches decorated with mural paintings of the 17th century.
The collection consists in the digitized reproduction of part of the wide analogic archive stored in the Classense Library, in the so-called Ricci Halls. It consists of a large number of pictures depicting Ravenna and its historical monuments. The good conservative condition of this archive, in particular of the correspondence section, is connected to the role of Superintendent, that Corrado Ricci performed from 1897, as the first Italian municipal officer in charge of the cultural heritage prevention monuments. The collection depicts and witnesses the several restoration interventionscarried out from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century on Ravenna monuments, whose aim was to take back Byzantine architectures to their original aspect.
The collection consists in the digitized reproduction of part of the wide analogic archive stored in the Classense Library belonging to Mons. Mario Mazzotti, archaeologist expert of Ravenna antiquities and director of the Archiepiscopal archive. He worked in the postwar period and his photographic archive is composed by photographs depicting archaeological sites and restoration campaigns performed at the time. The majority of archaeological sites and restorations that he documented refers specifically to the Ravenna territory. In addition to his photographic documentation a large quantity of postcards negatives and lantern slides belonging to Mario Mazzotti’s academic career, is conserved.
