Description
Turning Over a New Leaf: Change and Development in the Medieval Manuscript By Erik Kwakkel, Rosamond McKitterick, and Rodney M. Thomson This volume explores the evolution of handwritten books during the medieval period, focusing on the ninth and twelfth centuries. The authors examine how manuscripts were modified over time, used, and collected, shedding light on the relationship between the physical book and its users. Through a detailed analysis of manuscripts from across Europe, the authors investigate how reading practices can be reflected in the layout of texts and what libraries reveal about the culture of books. By exploring a broad range of texts, this study offers insights into the changing nature of book production and use during this period.
