| Abstract | This session forms part of a series of 10 sessions on Medieval Urban Literacy. The series is in fact a continuation of similar sessions organised during the 2007 and 2008 IMCs. In those years, no attention was given to the Iberian peninsula. This session hopes to remedy the situation, by offering papers on central topics in Medieval Urban Literacy which will allow a Europe-wide comparative approach to the history of reading and writing, the production of books, and the role of chanceries in medieval Europe, by offering much needed information on these topics to a European scholarly audience. The papers will be published in 2010 in the proceedings of the current series of sessions, in the series Utrecht Studies in Medieval Literacy. |
