The Syntax of Colophons - A Comparative Study across Pothi Manuscripts (Hardcover): Nalini Balbir, Giovanni Ciotti The Syntax of Colophons - A Comparative Study across Pothi Manuscripts (Hardcover)
Nalini Balbir, Giovanni Ciotti
R3,585 Discovery Miles 35 850 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume is the first to attempt a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary analysis of the manuscript cultures implementing the pothi manuscript form (a loosely bound stack of oblong folios). It is the indigenous form by which manuscripts have been crafted in South Asia and the cultural areas most influenced by it, that is to say Central and South East Asia. The volume focuses particularly on the colophons featured in such manuscripts presenting a series of essays enabling the reader to engage in a historical and comparative investigation of the links connecting the several manuscript cultures examined here. Colophons as paratexts are situated at the intersection between texts and the artefacts that contain them and offer a unique vantage point to attain global appreciation of their manuscript cultures and literary traditions. Colophons are also the product of scribal activities that have moved across regions and epochs alongside the pothi form, providing a common thread binding together the many millions of pothis still today found in libraries in Asia and the world over. These contributions provide a systematic approach to the internal structure of colophons, i.e. their 'syntax', and facilitate a vital, comparative approach.

Tracing Manuscripts in Time and Space through Paratexts (Hardcover, Digital original): Giovanni Ciotti, Hang Lin Tracing Manuscripts in Time and Space through Paratexts (Hardcover, Digital original)
Giovanni Ciotti, Hang Lin
R4,227 Discovery Miles 42 270 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

As records of the link between a manuscript and the texts it contains, paratexts document many aspects of a manuscript's life: production, transmission, usage, and reception. Comprehensive studies of paratexts are still rare in the field of manuscript studies, and the universal categories of time and space are used to create a common frame for research and comparisons. Contributions in this volume span over three continents and one millennium.

Stefanie Brinkmann, Giovanni Ciotti, Stefano Valente, Eva Maria Wilden
R3,621 Discovery Miles 36 210 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Manuscripts have played a crucial role in the educational practices of virtually all cultures that have a history of using them. As learning and teaching tools, manuscripts become primary witnesses for reconstructing and studying didactic and research activities and methodologies from elementary levels to the most advanced. The present volume investigates the relation between manuscripts and educational practices focusing on four particular research topics: educational settings: teachers, students and their manuscripts; organising knowledge: syllabi; exegetical practices: annotations; modifying tradition: adaptations. The volume offers a number of case studies stretching across geophysical boundaries from Western Europe to South-East Asia, with a time span ranging from the second millennium BCE to the twentieth century CE.
