Some manuscripts have been produced for the personal use of their scribe only; whereas a number of them are valued as autographs, most have been ephemeral and were discarded. Personal manuscripts were not written for a patron, commissioner, or client. They are personal copies, anthologies, florilegia, personal notes, excerpts, drafts and notebooks, as well as family books, accountancy notebooks and many others; these forms often being mixed with one another. This volume introduces a number of such manuscripts in a comparative perspective, from Japan to Europe through the Middle East, with a focus on the Near and Middle East. The main concern is the possibility of identifying typical features of such manuscripts in terms of materials, visual organization and content. In attempting this, both the conditions of production and traces of the manuscripts’ use are taken into consideration, with particular attention to their material aspects.

In 1277, Rabbi Isaac of Corbeil produced a concise work of accessible religious law. This handbook, 'Amudei Golah (Pillars of Exile), began as a list of religious commandments (mitzvot) meant to be recited weekly. It was divided into seven 'pillars', drawn primarily from the limbs of the human body and its activities (heart, hand, mouth, monetary transactions, etc), and dealt exclusively with laws relevant to Jews living in the Diaspora in medieval times. This handbook of religious law, written in Hebrew, became the most widespread book of its kind during the late Middle Ages within the various French- and German-speaking Jewish communities known as Ashkenaz. Nearly two hundred medieval copies of the work are found in public libraries and private collections today, an astounding number for a Hebrew work at the time. In The Making of a Medieval Bestseller, Judah Galinsky approaches his study in three parts. The first surveys the ideological and cultural reasons that Rabbi Isaac composed the work and describes how the book evolved over time. The second part traces the book's impressive circulation and analyzes the various reasons behind the book's success, suggesting that readers who were outside the scholarly class may have been key to the work's popularity. In the third part, Galinsky addresses the readers themselves, who ordered copies of the work from a scribe. Galinsky discerns the cultural profile of the patrons who commissioned the codex by paying attention to the books they requested to have copied alongside it, or its 'fellow travelers'. This study is a history of a medieval bestseller. It describes how it came into being, grew, and evolved, and also charts its circulation, explains its unique appeal, and depicts its readers.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries—a period that marked the emergence of a global modernity—educated landowners, or “gentlemen,” dominated the development of British natural history, utilizing networks of trade and empire to inventory nature and understand events across the world. Specimens, ranging from a Welsh bittern to the plants of Botany Bay, were collected, recorded, and classified, while books were produced in London and copies distributed and used across Britain, Continental Europe, the Pacific, Asia, and the Americas. Natural history connected a diverse range of individuals, from European landowners to Polynesian priests, incorporating, distributing, synthesizing, and appropriating information collected on a global scale. In Reading the World, Edwin D. Rose positions books, natural history specimens, and people in a close cycle of literary production and consumption. His book reveals new aspects of scientific practice and the specific roles of individuals employed to collect, synthesize, and distribute knowledge—reevaluating Joseph Banks’s and Daniel Solander’s investigations during James Cook’s Endeavour voyage to the Pacific. Uncovering the range of skills involved in knowledge production, Rose expands our understanding of natural history as a cyclical process, from the initial collection and identification of specimens to the formal publication of descriptions to the eventual printing of sources.

The first comprehensive guide dedicated solely to research on Latin-European early modern student notes. The many preserved collections of student notes from the early modern period – ranging from neatly maintained notebooks to barely legible scribbles crammed between lines of printed text – hold considerable but largely untapped potential as an historical source. At the same time, the analysis of these notes poses significant challenges for scholars. This book aims to be a concise and accessible companion for scholars interested in engaging with this young and burgeoning research field. Written by a diverse group of specialists from across Europe and the US, it explores the various technical and practical aspects involved in reading, interpreting, and editing student notes, while also demonstrating how these sources can enrich various areas of historical research. Indeed, student notes reveal that early modern lecture halls were often more dynamic, diverse, and creative than we might have expected.

This book explores multilingualism and multiscriptism in a great variety of writing cultures, offering an in-depth analysis of how diverse languages and scripts seamlessly intertwine within written artefacts. Insights into scribal practices are particularly illuminating in that respect, especially when exploring artefacts originating from multicultural communities and regions where distinct writing traditions intersect. The influence of multilingualism and multiscriptism on these writing cultures becomes evident, with essays spanning various domains, from the mundane aspects of everyday life to the realms of scholarship and political propaganda. Scholars often relegate these phenomena, despite being frequently encountered, to the status of exceptions compared to the more prevalent monolingualism and monoscriptism. However, in daring to challenge this viewpoint, this book emphasises the profound significance and relevance of multilingualism and multiscriptism in shaping the development of languages, cultures, and societies across Asia, Africa, and Europe. It caters to a diverse readership keen on delving into the intricacies of these phenomena within this rich tapestry of writing cultures.

Il volume ricostruisce la biografia intellettuale di Paolo Ricci (ca. 1480–1541/42), filosofo e traduttore ebreo converso, in dialogo con Erasmo da Rotterdam e difensore di Reuchlin nella controversia di Colonia sui libri ebraici. Il libro dimostra che Ricci, prima del battesimo, fu seguace del movimento profetico-messianico dell’ebreo Asher Lemmlein, ricoprendovi un ruolo di primo piano come predicatore, e che le ragioni profonde della sua conversione al cristianesimo devono tenere conto di tale circostanza. Emerge così un capitolo poco esplorato della storia religiosa europea, da leggersi sotto la lente del profetismo ebraico, del suo peso sui fenomeni di conversione, e si aprono nuove prospettive sulla riscoperta latina di Averroè, sulle interpretazioni cristiane della qabbalah e sui nessi causali che legano l’affaire Reuchlin al progetto di traduzione latina del Talmud promosso da Massimiliano I.

Manuscript cultures based on Arabic script feature various tendencies in standardisation of orthography, script types and layout. Unlike previous studies, this book steps outside disciplinary and regional boundaries and provides a typological cross-cultural comparison of standardisation processes in twelve Arabic-influenced writing traditions where different cultures, languages and scripts interact. A wide range of case studies give insights into the factors behind uniformity and variation in Judeo-Arabic in Hebrew script, South Palestinian Christian Arabic, New Persian, Aljamiado of the Spanish Moriscos, Ottoman Turkish, a single multilingual Ottoman manuscript, Sino-Arabic in northwest China, Malay Jawi in the Moluccas, Kanuri and Hausa in Nigeria, Kabyle in Algeria, and Ethiopian Fidäl script as used to transliterate Arabic. One of the findings of this volume is that different domains of manuscript cultures have distinct paths of standardisation, so that orthography tends to develop its own standardisation principles irrespective of norms applied to layout and script types. This book will appeal to readers interested in manuscript studies, sociolinguistics, literacy studies, and history of writing.
