- Aldebrandin of Siena (also spelled Aldobrandino of Siena) Expand:
Notes 4 THLxWMUK Fellowship:
- Indian aesthetics - needs citations.
- Bhanudatta Misra - Digitised version Bhānudatta's work on aesthetic emotions/rasa https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-ADD-02435/3 , a translation of which was made by Sheldon Pollock and can be found here: https://sheldonpollock.org/archive/bhanudatta_misra_bouquet_2009.pdf . He was pos at court of Akbar, who's Akbar's tomb there's a nice photo of https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PH-Y-03022-C-E/83
- The Cambridge Kalāpustaka (MS Add.864) was probably commisioned by Jitamitra Malla there is an article about him here https://academic.oup.com/jhs/article/17/2/200/7637469. But check as he reigned (r. 1673–1696), and the MSS is tentatively dated around A.D. 1600.(!) Check through Malla dynasty (Nepal)...
- Rubrication mentioned originating in Ancient Egypt, but this chines oracle bone may predate the papyrus (https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-CHI-BONES-CUL-00009/1) - the page is also very western medieval focus, so perspective could perhaps be broadened to include use in more diverse cultures? - see more links in my 1st essay.
- History of red a note saying it needs to be more encyclopaedic in style. AND also the page for Red is a bit of a mess, but especially the 'History and art' section, which is very western centric. (https://tibetanbuddhistencyclopedia.com/en/index.php/Red_in_Buddhist_Color_Symbolism ?)
- Daniel Wright (the Scottish one) doesn't have a wikipedia page, but he seem fairly significant in Sanskrit studies... especially at Cambridge. There's a bio here (https://whowaswho-indology.info/23625/wright-daniel/) and his book "History of Nepal" is here (https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.278840/page/n267/mode/1up) and he's in wikidata (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23012845). This might be relevant (https://himalaya.socanth.cam.ac.uk/collections/journals/ebhr/pdf/EBHR_40_04.pdf).
- History of Nepal also has multiple clean up issues, and cites Wright.
- Could add mentions in Sanskrit MSS to Yamuna
- Yogambara - is oonly a very small stub - could probably exapand a little? - There's some info with this manuscript: https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-ADD-01383/4
- Illuminated manuscript page also seems very Western centric... many Sanskrit examples of illumination... ?
- Could probably add citations to Raslila...
Images I've made
editHere's a few images I've made and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons:
- A digram of a [convolutional neural network] architecture. I created this because I need to use such a diagram for a CC-BY published resource. Some example already existed, but this one uses an image that might typically be relevant to the use fo computer vision on content from Libraries.
