| Abstract | The Cluster of Excellence 'Understanding Written Artefacts' follows a comparative approach to studying how the production of written artefacts has shaped human societies and cultures, and how these in turn have adapted written artefacts to their needs. This session focuses on layers as physical or intellectual 'borders' in manuscripts, in particular on production and transmission processes in written artefacts from the Middle Ages. Close investigation of multiple material and textual layers produced by scribes and users over a certain span of time will help to better reconstruct cultural and educational processes. |
