| Abstract | Manuscripts are often small microcosms, within which multiple genres and multiple motivations cross. By looking in detail into two individual manuscripts, this session will examine how the causae complilandi and the internal arrangements of those two manuscripts crossed the borders of the genres, between past and future and between use and re-use. What were the reasons manuscripts or 'dossiers' were compiled in a particular way? The papers in this session will focus on the questions of propaganda, concepts of the future and the details of micro and macro histories that we can find in some of the early medieval manuscripts. |
