| Abstract | These three papers explore how medieval manuscripts can cast light on networks of production and use: paper 1 will look at what marginal notes in one manuscript reveal about links between religious houses; paper 2 offers observations on the contrast between medieval networks of cultural production and 19th-century legacies of national identity and cultural dependency; paper 3 examines the network of relationships between five manuscripts from Christ Church Canterbury in order to provide a better understanding of textual and musical development and transmission in early insular pontificals. |
