Manuscripts provide rich documentary evidence for understanding the
history of cultural life across the breadth of Europe and Asia down
through the Middle Ages. Many illustrate engagement between and
across languages, in both similar and contrasting ways from east to
west. The demarcation of manuscript studies into single-language
academic disciplines has often obscured this reality, privileging
one constituent part or contributing language from each manuscript
rather than exploring the combination as a nuanced and complex
whole. This volume seeks to examine manuscripts as integrally
united artefacts, respecting the diversity of their constituent
elements. Case studies are presented of twelve manuscripts with
evidence for various levels of inter-language exchange and
collision, from horizons as diverse as the Atlantic West,
Carolingian Europe, the Byzantine world, the Silk Road cultures,
and east Asia. The essays function individually as discrete
contributions, but together they highlight a range of overlapping
themes, illustrating language interaction in global religions,
pedagogical exchange, and secular society-building.The analogies as
well as the concrete points of connection between them underline
the value of a cross-disciplinary approach.
