The Hill Museum and Manuscript Library (HMML) has digitized thousands of manuscripts from northern Iraq, including collections from areas that were later hard hit by the invasion of ISIS in 2014. Some of these manuscripts are now undoubtedly damaged or lost, while others were preserved through the invasion by the use of various strategies. For example, manuscripts at the Mar Behnam Monastery were hidden in barrels and walled into a secret room; other collections were hastily smuggled away from Mosul in the trunks of cars. The vast majority of these items have been digitized in partnership with the Centre Numérique des Manuscrits Orientaux (CNMO) under the leadership of Father Najeeb Michaeel, OP, now Chaldean Catholic Archbishop of Mosul. Since ISIS was expelled from these regions in 2017, Father Najeeb has been a major part of attempts to reestablish a somewhat normal life for the Christian community of the area. Newly digitized and cataloged manuscripts in HMML’s Reading Room also testify that Father Najeeb has been acquiring new manuscripts in recent years for the collection of his order, the Dominican Friars of Mosul. Many of these new acquisitions bear notes in Father Najeeb’s hand, including valuable information on the state of manuscript collections in post-ISIS Mosul. He often provides data such as prices, sellers, aspects of provenance that are known to him, and more general comments on the sufferings of Christians and other communities in recent years. In this presentation, I will examine Father Najeeb’s notes and other aspects of the new acquisitions of the Dominican Friars in order to shed some light on the circulation of manuscript heritage in post-ISIS Iraq. Father Najeeb’s efforts to acquire local manuscripts, then to digitize them in partnership with HMML, provide an example of a significant project to keep these items in the local community while making them available digitally to scholars and interested parties worldwide, instead of allowing them to be smuggled out and sold to foreign collectors.
