This volume is a comparative study of the practice of impagination
across different ages and civilizations. By impagination we mean
the act of placing and arranging spatially textual and other
information onto a material bearer that could be made of a variety
of materials (papyrus, bamboo slips, palm leaf, parchment, paper,
and the computer screen). This volume investigates three levels of
impagination: what is the page or other unit of the material
bearer, what is written or printed on it, and how is writing or
print placed on it. It also examines the interrelations of two or
all three of these levels. Collectively it examines the material
and materiality of the page, the variety of imprints, cultural and
historical conventions for impagination, interlinguistic
encounters, the control of editors, scribes, publishers and readers
over the page, inheritance, borrowing and innovation, economics,
aesthetics and socialities of imprints and impagination, and the
relationship of impagination to philology. This volume supplements
studies on mise en page and layout - an important subject of
codicology - first by including non-codex writings, second by
taking a closer look at the page or other unit than at the codex
(or book), and third by its aspiration to adopt a globally
comparative approach. This volume brings together for comparison
vast geographical realms of learning, including Europe, China,
Tibet, Korea, Japan and the Near Eastern and European communities
in which the Hebrew Bible was transmitted. This comparison is
significant, for Europe, China, and India all developed great
traditions of learning which came into intensive contact. The
contributions to this volume are firmly rooted in local cultures
and together address global, comparative themes that are
significant for multiple disciplines, such as intellectual and
cultural history of knowledge (both humanistic and scientific),
global history, literary and media studies, aesthetics, and studies
of material culture, among other fields.

contains the customary mix of learned articles which makes this
publication an indispensable tool for the historian of higher
education. This volume offers a global history of research
education in the ninteenth and twentieth centuries. This volume
compares the training of scholars in different disciplines and
countries across the globe in a century that laid the foundation
for modern academia. The articles in this volume examine the
different training "instruments" and methods for text-based
disciplines (history and philology), laboratory sciences (such as
chemistry), theoretical sciences (mathematics, for instance),
fieldwork disciplines (linguistics and paleontology), and clinical
science (medicine). They consider countries or societies in Europe,
North America, South and East Asia, and Latin America, and analyze
the roles of the state, nationalism and internationalism that
shaped the institutions and policies for research education. Some
of these articles are comparative, while the others are in-depth
case studies of individual disciplines in specific countries at
different stages of scientific developments. The introduction and
conclusion of this volume bring together the important themes that
run across the article and make necessary supplements to present a
synthetic picture of the global history of research education.

Philology the discipline of making sense of texts is enjoying a
renaissance within academia after decades of neglect. World
Philology" charts the evolution of philology across the many
cultures and historical time periods in which it has been
practiced, and demonstrates how this branch of knowledge, like
philosophy and mathematics, is an essential component of human
understanding.
Every civilization has developed ways of interpreting the texts
that it produces, and differences of philological practice are as
instructive as the similarities. We owe our idea of a textual
edition for example, to the third-century BCE scholars of the
Alexandrian Library. Rabbinical philology created an innovation in
hermeneutics by shifting focus from how the Bible commands to what
it commands. Philologists in Song China and Tokugawa Japan produced
startling insights into the nature of linguistic signs. In the
early modern period, new kinds of philology arose in Europe but
also among Indian, Chinese, and Japanese commentators, Persian
editors, and Ottoman educationalists who began to interpret texts
in ways that had little historical precedent. They made judgments
about the integrity and consistency of texts, decided how to create
critical editions, and determined what it actually means to
read.
Covering a wide range of cultures Greek, Roman, Hebrew, Arabic,
Sanskrit, Chinese, Indo-Persian, Japanese, Ottoman, and modern
European World Philology "lays the groundwork for a new scholarly
discipline."
