The Alcobacenses are one of the most important Portuguese collections of Monastic codices. During a campaign study to further advance our knowledge on this important legacy and its state of conservation, a heavily deteriorated codex (ALC.338) stood out due to the presence of purple stains on the lower margins on virtually all folios. In some of them, the purple stains are accompanied by yellow and brown patches as well. Also noticed was the presence of these purple spots on the white tawed leather covering the codex. The codex was analyzed macro and microscopically, chemically and biologically using state-of-the-art technology such as next-generation sequencing. The biological deterioration associated with the appearance of these purple spots arises from the inside out and reveals significant abundance of the bacterial genus Saccharopolyspora sp., which accounted for 86% of the bacterial genera identified. For the fungal population, the most common genus was Malassezia sp. Visual inspection of the sample confirmed the presence of fungal and bacterial biofilms. Pressing questions, comparison to similar studies and future perspectives are also given.
Cistercian Liturgy and daily practice through the manuscripts of Alcobaça
Publication . Barreira, Catarina Alexandra Martins Fernandes; Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM)
In recent decades the medieval liturgy has attracted growing scholarly attention as an area with great potential for yielding a wealth of information at a number of levels of historical research. Where the Cistercian liturgy is concerned, due to a preoccupation with uniformity of practice across the Order, investigation not only relies on analysis of the surviving manuscripts but also on scrutiny of the legislation produced by the Cistercian General Chapter which was convened annually from the first half of the twelfth century. This paper examines some liturgical books, and books supplementary to the liturgy, which survive from the library of the Monastery of Alcobaça, comprising different sources that connect text with performance. The main goal is, through an analysis to different liturgical books, recover (partially) gestures, performances and prayers and use these sources to study and contextualize liturgical identity of this Cistercian Monastery.

En este artículo se presenta el estudio de un misal iluminado procedente del monasterio de Alcobaça (BNP, Alc. 252). El análisis del contenido litúrgico y de la materialidad del códice, incluyendo aquí la iluminación y la encuadernación, así como el estudio comparativo con otros manuscritos procedentes del mismo monasterio, permitirán confirmar su origen en el scriptorium alcobacense, precisar su datación, integrarlo en su contexto de producción y de uso(s), y tener en cuenta la evolución de las circunstancias litúrgico-materiales del mismo. This article presents the study of an illuminated missal from the monastery of Alcobaça (BNP, Alc. 252). The analysis of the liturgical content and the materiality of the codex, including here the illumination and the binding, as well as a comparative study with other manuscripts from the same monastery, will allow us to confirm its origin in the scriptorium of Alcobaça, to determine its dating, to understand its context of production and use(s), and to take into account the evolution of the liturgical-material characteristics of the codex.
