Miniature books, handwritten or printed books in the smallest
format, have fascinated religious people, printers, publishers,
collectors, and others through the centuries because of their
unique physical features, and continue to captivate people today.
The small lettering and the delicate pages, binding, and covers
highlight the material form of texts and invite sensory engagement
and appreciation. This volume addresses miniature books with a
special focus on religious books in Jewish, Christian, Muslim,
Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The book presents various empirical
contexts for how the smallest books have been produced,
distributed, and used in different times and cultures and also
provides theoretical reflections and comments that discuss the
divergent formats and functions of books.
