This collection of essays studies the movement of texts in the
Mediterranean basin in the medieval period from historical and
philological perspectives. Rejecting the presumption that texts
simply travel without changing, the contributors examine closely
the nature of these writings, which are concerned with such topics
as science and medicine, and how they changed over the course of
their journeys. Transit and transformation give texts new subtexts
and contexts, providing windows through which to study how memory,
encryption, oral communication, cultural and religious values, and
knowledge traveled and were shared, transformed, and preserved.
This volume broadens how we think about texts, communication, and
knowledge in the medieval world. Aside from the editors, the
contributors are Mushegh Asatryan, Brian N. Becker, Leonardo
Capezzone, Leigh Chipman, Ofer Elior, Zohar Hadromi-Allouche, B.
Harun Küçük, Israel M. Sandman, and Tamás Visi.
