Traditional scholarship on manuscripts has tended to focus on
issues concerning their production and has shown comparatively
little interest in the cultural contexts of the manuscript book.
The Medieval Manuscript Book redresses this by focusing on aspects
of the medieval book in its cultural situations. Written by experts
in the study of the handmade book before print, this volume
combines bibliographical expertise with broader insights into the
theory and praxis of manuscript study in areas from bibliography to
social context, linguistics to location, and archaeology to
conservation. The focus of the contributions ranges widely, from
authorship to miscellaneity, and from vernacularity to digital
facsimiles of manuscripts. Taken as a whole, these essays make the
case that to understand the manuscript book it must be analyzed in
all its cultural complexity, from production to transmission to its
continued adaptation.
