The application of statistical techniques to the study of
manuscript books, based on the analysis of large data sets acquired
through the archaeological observation of manuscripts, is one of
the most original trends in codicological research, aiming not only
to reconstruct on a sound basis the methods and processes used in
book manufacture and their tendential evolution in space and time,
but also to interpret them as the result of a dynamic interplay
between various and often incompatible needs (of cultural,
technical, social and economic nature) that book artisans had to
reconcile in the best possible way. The present collection of
essays in English translation was guided by the desire to offer a
multifarious well-articulated picture of the application of
statistical methodology to the various aspects of manuscript
production, namely analysis of materials, characterization of book
types, manufacturing techniques, planning and use of layout
characterization of scripts and scribal habits. The volume aims to
present to a wider readership a series of significant papers which
have appeared over the last fifteen years, by means of which the
statistical approach continues to demonstrate its vast potential.
