Tracing Manuscripts in Time and Space through Paratexts : Perspectives from Paratexts (Studies in Manuscript Cultures 7) (2016. XII, 308 S. 87 col. ill. 230 mm)

§16§§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. § §02§§Giovanni Ciotti and Hang Lin, University of Hamburg. § §02§Giovanni Ciotti and Hang Lin, University of Hamburg.
