Abstract

Every individual book has a history which can help us to understand what difference it may have made in the world. Within these pages you will find books damaged by bullets or graffiti, recovered from fire or water, or even disguised as completely different texts for protection in dangerous times. Marks of ownership – be it a rich treasure binding or a humble family inscription – shine a light on social history and literacy, while student doodles from the sixteenth century and a variety of pithy annotations give us a sense of readers through the ages. We increasingly recognise that the cultural and research value of books lies not just in their printed contents, but in the many other things they can tell us about the ways they have been used, read and regarded. Generously illustrated with examples from the early Middle Ages to the present day, Speaking Volumes presents a fascinating selection of books in both public and private collections whose individual histories tell surprising and illuminating stories, encouraging us to look at and appreciate books in new and non-traditional ways. --Bodleian Library

Abstract

Im Zentrum des Bandes stehen die von materiellen und kommunikativen Wechselfällen gekennzeichneten Karrieren des Buches. Ausgangspunkt dieses Bandes ist das Konzept der Objektbiographie, von dem aus eine neue kulturhistorische Perspektive auf das gedruckte Buch und die Handschrift eröffnet werden soll. Mit Blick auf die materielle Kultur des Buches diskutieren Literatur- und Buchwissenschaftler, Historiker, Philosophen, Judaisten, Bibliothekare und Restauratoren die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer biographischen Herangehensweise. Die Aufmerksamkeit für das durch Brüche und Karrieren gekennzeichnete Leben von Büchern kommt nicht von ungefähr: Die Herausgeberinnen und Herausgeber sowie einige Autorinnen und Autoren arbeiten in einer der größten Altbestandsbibliotheken Deutschlands und sind daher nicht nur von den wissenschaftlichen und konservatorischen Herausforderungen einer bedeutenden musealen Sammlung umgeben, sondern auch von noch offenen und zu erschließenden Buchbiographien. Die Biographien des Buches sind zugleich der erste Band der neuen Reihe "Kulturen des Sammelns. Akteure, Objekte, Medien", die von der Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel herausgegeben wird.

Abstract

This volume is the first comparative history that studies the practice of impagination across different ages and civilizations. By impagination we mean the act of placing and arranging spatially textual and other information onto a material bearer that could be made of a variety of materials (papyrus, bamboo slips, palm leaf, parchment, paper, and the computer screen). This volume investigates three levels of impagination: what is the page or other unit of the material bearer, what is written or printed on it, and how is writing or print placed on it. It also examines the interrelations of two or all three of these levels. Collectively it examines the material and materiality of the page, the variety of imprints, cultural and historical conventions for impagination, interlinguistic encounters, the control of editors, scribes, publishers and readers over the page, inheritance, borrowing and innovation, economics, aesthetics and socialities of imprints and impagination, and the relationship of impagination to philology. This volume supplements studies on mise en page and layout – an important subject of codicology – first by including non-codex writings, second by taking a closer look at the page or other unit than at the codex (or book), and third by its aspiration to adopt a globally comparative approach. This volume brings together for comparison vast geographical realms of learning, including Europe, China, Tibet, Korea, Japan and the Near Eastern and European communities in which the Hebrew Bible was transmitted. This comparison is significant, for Europe, China, and India all developed great traditions of learning which came into intensive contact. The contributions to this volume are firmly rooted in local cultures and together address global, comparative themes that are significant for multiple disciplines, such as intellectual and cultural history of knowledge (both humanistic and scientific), global history, literary and media studies, aesthetics, and studies of material culture, among other fields.

Abstract

Autorschaft erfordert mehr als das Schreiben eines Textes: Um 1800 wird sie vor allem durch das gedruckte Buch hervorgebracht. In dieser Zeit entwickelt sie sich zu einem sozialen Phänomen, im deutschsprachigen Raum grassiert die »Schriftstellersucht«. Tobias Fuchs untersucht in diesem Kontext die auf das Buchartefakt bezogenen Praktiken des Publizierens zwischen 1765 und 1815. Die Materialität von Literatur betrachtet er dabei in ihren ästhetischen, merkantilen, poetologischen, rechtlichen sowie wissensgeschichtlichen Dimensionen. Der Bogen reicht von Jean Pauls handgeschriebenen Büchern über gedruckte Artefakte bis zur Makulatur.
