Description

Pages from the Past by Malcolm Parkes brings together scholarly articles exploring the palaeography of medieval manuscript books and the conditions shaping their creation and use. This Variorum Collected Studies collection examines how individual scribes' handwriting reveals production circumstances, how punctuation and text layout influenced medieval readers' interpretation, and the provision of books for different communities. Parkes investigates the 'grammar of legibility' in manuscript design, offering insights into the practical and intellectual dimensions of medieval book production. Essential for scholars of manuscript studies, medieval history, and palaeography seeking to understand how medieval texts were physically crafted and read.
