ʻO Thomas Pool: Ka Buke o Kells ʻo ia kekahi o nā laʻana maikaʻi loa o Ireland ʻO Irish a me ka hana Kalikiano mua. He aha kāu e haʻi mai ai iā mākou e pili ana i nā pilikia o ka mālama ʻana i kahi manuscript koʻikoʻi?
ʻO John Gillis: ʻO kekahi o kā mākou mau palapala e ola nei, ʻo Trinity College Dublin (TCD) he kuleana mālama ma ke ʻano he kahu Ka Buke o Kells no ka lāhui. Hoʻopili kēia i ka mālama ʻana i ke kaulike ma waena o ka hōʻoia ʻana i ke komo ʻana ma o ka hōʻike, ʻoiai e hāʻawi ana i nā kūlana kaiapuni maikaʻi loa no kāna mālama palekana. Ma waho aʻe o kēia, ʻo ka logistic o ka mālama ʻana i ka manuscript me ka palekana e hoʻohui i kahi papa o ka paʻakikī i ke kuleana o Trinity no kēia waiwai o ka wā kahiko. Mai kona hana ʻana ma kahi o 800CE, Ka Buke o Kells Ua ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi mau hanana traumatic, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a i ʻike ʻia ma kāna mau ʻaoʻao, akā ʻo ka maikaʻi o nā mea hana a me ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hana hana i hiki ai ke ola no nā makahiki 1200.
He aha kou kūlana a me kāu hoʻonaʻauao? Pehea ʻoe i hoihoi ai i ka hana ma ke ʻano he conservator?
ʻO ka puke ma ke ʻano he mea hoihoi loa iaʻu, a hui pū ʻia me ka hoihoi i nā hana lima mōʻaukala, ʻo ka mālama puke kahi ala ʻoihana maopopo. Ua hele au i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo TU Dublin i kēia manawa, a laila Bolton Street College of Technology, kahi aʻu i aʻo ai i ka Print Finishing a me ka Bookbinding a ukali ʻia e ka Advanced City and Guilds. I kēlā manawa, i nā makahiki 1980, ʻaʻohe papa mālama puke ʻoihana. E aʻo ana au i nā makahiki ma hope aku ma ia mau papa ma Italia. I ka makahiki 1984, ua loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa e hana ai ma ka Conservation Department o Trinity College Dublin, e nānā ana i nā haumāna ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papahana mālama ma The Long Room of the Old Library. He ʻeono mahina kēia akā ua hoʻoholo ke poʻo o ke keʻena, ʻo Tony Cains, e aʻo iaʻu ma ke ʻano he limahana mau. ʻO Tony kekahi o nā paionia o ka mālama puke; Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i kekahi mau makahiki ma Florence ma hope o ke kahe ʻana o ka makahiki 1966, e hoʻomohala ana i nā ʻōnaehana no ka mālama ʻana ma luna o hoʻokahi miliona mau puke a me nā manuscript i hōʻino ʻia ma laila. I ka makahiki 1988, ua hoʻokumu a ua hana au ma ke ʻano he poʻo o ka mālama mālama ʻana ma ka Delmas Conservation Bindery ma ka Hale Waihona Puke o Archbishop Marsh, Dublin. Ua hoʻi au i Trinity i ka makahiki 1991 no ka haʻalele hou ʻana i ka makahiki 2007 ma ke ʻano lua e hana ma ka National Museum of Ireland e mālama. Ka Faddan More Halelu ma luna o ka manawa ʻehā makahiki. ʻO kēia ka manuscript Psalter medieval mua, i ʻike ʻia i loko o kahi bog ma North County Tipperary i 2006, i hana i nā poʻomanaʻo honua i kēlā manawa.
ʻOiai ke mālama ʻia nei kekahi ʻano mālama ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana o The Long Room, he aha nā pilikia mālama mālama āu i hālāwai ai i ka neʻe ʻana. Ka Buke o Kells i kona home no ka manawa hou, a me ka ohi nui a'e i wehe 'ia mai ka Hale Waihona Puke Kahiko?
ʻOiai ʻaʻole i hiki i kēia pae o ka papahana, ua hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia nā mea āpau ma mua o ka neʻe ʻana. ʻO ka hale e hāʻawi i kahi manawa no ka hōʻike ʻana o Ka Buke o Kells, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka Hale Paʻi, ua hoʻihoʻi piha ʻia iā ia iho a i kēia manawa ma kahi kūlana i koi ʻia no ka hōʻike ʻana i ka palapala. Ua kūkulu ʻia nā mea hou aku e hiki ai i ka malihini ke ʻike piha i ka kupanaha o kēia puke ʻeuanelio i hoʻomālamalama nui ʻia. ʻO ka wehe ʻia ʻana o nā puke a me nā palapala i paʻi mua ʻia he 170,000 mai ka Old Library ua hāʻawi iā mākou i kahi manawa kūʻokoʻa e nānā, akā pōkole, i kēlā me kēia puke. Ua hoʻohana mākou i kēia ʻike no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻike bibliographical, hoʻopiha i nā āpau i kā mākou moʻolelo, ana i kēlā me kēia mea a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka palekana. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia i loko o kēia kaʻina hana, ua loaʻa nā puke āpau i ka poʻe heluhelu a e hoʻomau ʻia kēia lawelawe ʻoiai lākou e waiho ana ma waho o ka waihona, me nā mea i noi ʻia e lawe ʻia i ka lumi heluhelu i hui pū ʻia ma ka Ussher Library.
He aha nā pilikia mālama mālama i ka hana ʻana i ka Puke o Kells Experience a pehea e hoʻonui ai kēia ʻano pānaʻi hou a immersive i ka ʻike malihini?
ʻOiai e kū ana i mua o ka hale hōʻikeʻike ka Buke o Kells he ʻike pilikino, e ʻae ana i kēlā me kēia kanaka e wehewehe i nā mea a lākou e ʻike ai a lawe i kā lākou hoʻomanaʻo pilikino, ka Puke o Kells Experience E waiho i nā mea a pau e hoʻopuni ana i ka palapala i loko o ka pōʻaiapili a hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā kiʻi paʻakikī a me nā kikokikona o ka folio e hōʻike ʻia nei. Loaʻa ʻia kēia ma kahi ala hiki ʻole ke koi i ka heluhelu ʻana i nā panela lōʻihi o ka kikokikona a i ʻole no ia mea, ʻo ka ʻōlelo Pelekane ka ʻōlelo mua. Aia i loko o ia ka ʻenehana pono e hoʻopaʻa i ka manaʻo o kahi anaina ʻōpio, ʻo ia kahi mea nui o ka hoʻolālā mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana. Hōʻike ka hōʻike pāʻani iā ʻoe i ke ʻano o ka manuscript, nā puaʻa i hoʻohana ʻia, ka vellum folia, a me ke kua i kahi i hoʻomaka ai ka hana ʻana o ka manuscript, ʻoiai e hahai ana i kāna huakaʻi i ka manawa. Mai ka nānā ʻana i ka mālama ʻana, ʻaʻohe hopohopo a me ka liʻiliʻi o ke komo ʻana, no ka mea, ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia ke kikowaena i nā mea kumu, a no laila ʻaʻole pili nā kūlana kūlohelohe a me nā kikoʻī.
ʻO Dr John Gillis ka Luna Nui Manuscript Conservator ma Trinity College Dublin.
