The book highlights aspects of mediality and materiality in the
dissemination and distribution of texts in the Scandinavian Middle
Ages important for achieving a general understanding of the
emerging literate culture. In nine chapters various types of texts
represented in different media and in a range of materials are
treated. The topics include two chapters on epigraphy, on lead
amulets and stone monuments inscribed with runes and Roman letters.
In four chapters aspects of the manuscript culture is discussed,
the role of authorship and of the dissemination of Christian topics
in translations. The appropriation of a Latin book culture in the
vernaculars is treated as well as the adminstrative use of writing
in charters. In the two final chapters topics related to the
emerging print culture in early post-medieval manuscripts and
prints are discussed with a focus on reception. The range of topics
will make the book relevant for scholars from all fields of
medieval research as well as those interested in mediality and
materiality in general.
