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. Captured in the
materiality of manuscripts are the data enabling us to make sense
of the preferences and habits of the individuals who made up
medieval society. With short chapters grouped under thematic
headings, Books Before Print shows how we may tap into the evidence
and 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.
