| Abstract | These sessions aim to throw light on the production, consumption, and affordances of manuscripts from across the global Middle Ages during the period c.500-1500. Papers might deal with questions such as: What materials or processes were used in manuscript production? What ethical or political questions do these materials or processes raise? What do they have to tell us about medieval/modern understandings of matter itself? Why are certain manuscripts more highly valued than others? Why and how do some manuscripts have the power to shape our values and histories? |
