| Abstract | Literacy as a political mean influenced not only the political style but the actual mode of writing too. Néstor Vigil Montes gives an example of the correspondences between the type of script and the social and political situation in which the scribe worked. Tobias Hodel analyses palaeographically the copies of the charters the nuns of Königsfeld received from the daughter of their founder queen Agnes of Hungary to show how these documents got symbolic value. Michael Georges studies the rules for the actual writing down of the texts in a book of religious administration. |
