Script and writing were among the most important inventions in
human history, and until the invention of printing, the handwritten
book was the primary medium of literary and cultural transmission.
Although the study of manuscripts is already quite advanced for
many regions of the world, no unified discipline of 'manuscript
studies' has yet evolved which is capable of treating handwritten
books from East Asia, India and the Islamic world equally alongside
the European manuscript tradition. This book, which aims to begin
the interdisciplinary dialogue needed to arrive at a truly
systematic and comparative approach to manuscript cultures
worldwide, brings together papers by leading researchers concerned
with material, philological and cultural aspects of different
manuscript traditions.
