Abstract | Nordic manuscript culture was reliant on networks between individuals, religious houses, and secular circles. This session, the first of a two-session strand on 'Networks in, of, and around Nordic manuscripts' focuses on how manuscripts were produced for a target audience, transmitted in certain social circles, and received by their users. Three papers are included in this panel. Starting with the way in which literary content and its transmission could reveal insights about the context of manuscript production, papers will furthermore address how kinship and educational networks may have fostered the production as well as the circulation of certain manuscripts and texts. |
