Compared with most of Continental Europe North of the Alps, the
introduction of writing in East Central Europe (Bohemia, Poland and
Hungary) took place with a considerable delay. Much is known about
East Central European uses of writing, although only a fragment of
this knowledge is known outside the region. Gathered by historians,
palaeographers and codicologists, diplomatists, art historians,
literary historians and others, this knowledge has hardly ever been
studied in the light of recent discussions on medieval literacy and
communication. Work done in the Czech, Polish and Hungarian
traditions of scholarship has never been subjected to a comparative
analysis. Furthermore, the question of the relation between writing
and other forms of communication in the region remains largely
unexplored. The volume serves a double purpose. For the first time,
a collection of contributions on medieval literacy in East Central
Europe is put before the forum of international scholarship. It is
also hoped to further discussions of modes of communication,
literate behaviour and mentalities among scholars working in the
region.
