Uses and Reuses of Medieval Manuscript Books

Résumé

Manuscript books have many lives. Once assembled, they scarsely remain unchanged. They can be read and re-read, annotated, supplemented, dismembered, restored and physically moved, even more than once. The volume ‘Uses and Reuses of Medieval Manuscript Books. Southern Italy. Latin Manuscripts’ investigates these multiple lives through an interdisciplinary approach that embraces codicology, paleography, philology, and art history. With a focus on book circulation in Latin Southern Italy, the volume brings together 14 contributions written in three languages. Through rich and diverse case studies, the authors offer a new perspective on the history of the book. Divided into three thematic sections (‘Uses and Reuses of Classical Texts, ‘Manuscripts en route’, ‘Material and Immaterial Reuses’), the book explores the ‘marginal’ traces left by readers, the philological reception of texts, material transformations, and the journeys of codices. The volume reconstructs through these lenses the influence of manuscripts on medieval intellectual activity and offers insights that extend from the specific context of southern Italy to broader geographical and diachronic scales.
