Description

Product Description The scholarship and teaching of manuscript studies has been transformed by digitisation, rendering previously rarefied documents accessible for study on a vast scale. The Cambridge Companion to Medieval British Manuscripts orientates students in the complex, multidisciplinary study of medieval book production and contemporary display of manuscripts from c.600–1500. Accessible explanations draw on key case studies to illustrate the major methodologies and explain why skills in understanding early book production are so critical for reading, editing, and accessing a rich cultural heritage. Chapters by leading specialists in manuscript studies range from explaining how manuscripts were stored, to revealing the complex networks of readers and writers which can be understood through manuscripts, to an in depth discussion on the Wycliffite Bible. Book Description Explains the methods and knowledge required to understand how, why, and for whom manuscripts were made in medieval Britain. About the Author Orietta Da Rold is University Lecturer in the University of Cambridge and Fellow of St John's College. Her publications include The Dd Manuscript: A Digital Edition of Cambridge University Library, MS Dd.4.24 of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (2013) and she has just completed a project entitled From Pulp to Fictions: Paper in Medieval England. Elaine Treharne is Roberta Bowman Denning Professor of Humanities, Professor of English, and Robert K. Packard University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at Stanford University, California, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Historical Society, and the English Association.
