Abstract | Texts are not abstract, independent entities but are embedded in contextual networks of production and use, and exist as parts of material artefacts, manuscripts, which are geographically and temporally located. Throughout this session we will explore the relationship between Anglo-Saxon texts, manuscripts and culture in the 11th and early 12th centuries. The emphasis of our discussion will be on the interplay between codicology and context, production and producers, users and use, manuscript, materiality and culture. |
