Abstract

Die Konventualinnen des Dominikanerinnenklosters St. Katharina St. Gallen, das nie die Inkorporation in den Orden erlangte und sich in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts aus eigenem spirituellen Antrieb der Ordensreform anschloss, widmeten sich verstärkt ihrer Bibliothek und der Herstellung von Handschriften in der klostereigenen Schreibwerkstätte. Anhand dieses exemplarischen Falls bietet die vorliegende Untersuchung einen umfassenden Überblick über den monastischen Schreibbetrieb und wichtige Erkenntnisse zur mittelalterlichen Schriftkultur und zum Kloster als Ort literarischer Kultur. Mit einem Vorwort von Nigel F. Palmer.

Abstract

Between roughly 1350 and 1500, the English vernacular became established as a language of literary, bureaucratic, devotional and controversial writing; metropolitan artisans formed guilds for the production and sale of books for the first time; and Gutenberg's and eventually Caxton's printed books reached their first English consumers. This book gathers the best work on manuscript books in England made during this crucial but neglected period. Its authors survey existing research, gather intensive new evidence and develop new approaches to key topics. The chapters cover the material conditions and economy of the book trade; amateur production both lay and religious; the effects of censorship; and the impact on English book production of manuscripts and artisans from elsewhere in the British Isles and Europe. A wide-ranging and innovative series of essays, this volume is a major contribution to the history of the book in medieval England.

Abstract

This Element contributes to the burgeoning field of medieval publishing studies with a case study of the books produced at the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg under its celebrated twelfth-century abbot, Frowin (1143-78). Frowin was the first abbot of Engelberg whose book provision policy relied on domestic production serviced by an internal scribal workforce, and his tenure marked the first major expansion of the community's library. This Element's in-depth discussion of nearly forty colophons inscribed in the books made for this library during Frowin's transformative abbacy offers a fresh perspective on monastic publishing practice in the twelfth century by directing our view to a mode of publication that has received only limited attention in scholarship to date.
