Note publique d'information : This collection of essays makes an original contribution to medieval manuscript studies
through its deep engagement with the material side of book creation, anchored by bringing
together major scholars of medieval manuscripts with leading contemporary book artists.
The result is a ground-breaking collection that will be of interest both for its methodological
implications and for the insights that the case studies provide. In a sequence of
interconnected essays, experts in the field of literature, history, art, and manuscript
studies enact readings of medieval manuscripts that incorporate extreme attention
to the materiality of the object of their study. While the digital revolution has
provided unparalleled access to medieval manuscripts, these essays are attentive to
what has got left behind - not just the aura of the original, but also the engagement
of the senses, such as the feel of the binding, the heft of the volume, the smell
of the parchment, or the sound of the pages. By bringing together experienced medievalist
scholars with practicing book artists of today, the present collection brings back
an artisanal sense of the complete book to an understanding of medieval manuscripts.
