Abstract

This book comprises six essays by prominent scholars of medieval Insular manuscripts. The main emphasis is on the physical appearance of books, though writing on and in other objects is also discussed. The essays highlight, in different ways, the tight relationship between the palaeographical and codicological features of manuscripts and the culture in which the objects were produced and used. Extending their expertise to a broad audience interested in the medieval book, the contributors discuss various aspects of written culture, including the development of Insular scripts, book culture in Mercia, the layout of Anglo-Saxon charters, and the transition from Anglo-Saxon to Norman-inspired script and book production.

Abstract

This beautifully illustrated book provides an accessible introduction to the medieval manuscript and what it can tell us about the world in which it was made and used. Books Before Print explores how manuscripts can act as a vibrant and versatile tool to understand the deep historical roots of human interaction with written information. It highlights extraordinary continuities between medieval book culture and modern-world communication, as witnessed in medieval pop-up books, posters, speech bubbles, book advertisements, and even sticky notes.

Abstract

This book brings together six expert contributors to examine the production and use of medieval manuscripts containing classical Latin texts. The contributors consider everything from the physical qualities of the manuscripts to what we can learn about how their readers used and interacted with them; ultimately, they also make a case for the value of studying not just specific classical manuscripts, but distinct groups of them, showing how such a collective approach can add to our understanding of how they functioned in medieval society.

Abstract

Het perkament van afgeschreven middeleeuwse handschriften werd vaak hergebruikt, bijvoorbeeld in de band van een nieuw handschrift of als kaft om een archiefstuk. Zo bleven veel fragmenten uit handschriften bewaard. Dit rijk geïllustreerde boek geeft een indruk van enkele tot de verbeelding sprekende vondsten die werden gedaan tijdens onderzoek van studenten naar de honderden fragmenten die worden bewaard in de Universiteitsbibliotheek Utrecht en Het Utrechts Archief. In achtendertig korte hoofdstukjes wordt achtereenvolgens aandacht besteed aan fragmenten van de bijbel, liturgische teksten, muziek, theologie, recht, wetenschap, geneeskunde, historie en heiligenlevens, literatuur en enkele materiële aspecten van de gekozen fragmenten. Deze hoofdstukjes zijn geschreven door voormalige masterstudenten en enkele volleerde mediëvisten. Het boek bevat drie uitgebreide inleidende hoofdstukken van de hand van de redacteuren Bart Jaski, Marco Mostert en Kaj van Vliet.00Exhibition: Het Utrechts Archief, Utrecht, The Netherlands (21.9.2018-20.1.2019).

Abstract

This book is the first to date to be dedicated to the circulation of the book as a commodity in the Mamluk sultanate. It discusses the impact of princely patronage on the production of books, the formation and management of libraries in religious institutions, their size and their physical setting. It documents the significance of private collections and their interaction with institutional libraries and the role of charitable endowments (waqf) in the life of libraries. The market as a venue of intellectual and commercial exchanges and a production centre is explored with references to prices and fees. The social and professional background of scribes and calligraphers occupies a major place in this study, which also documents the chain of master-calligraphers over the entire Mamluk period. For her study the author relies on biographical dictionaries, chronicles, waqf documents and manuscripts.
