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.
