| Abstract | This session offers an overview on how medieval religious networks successfully transferred knowledge through a remarkable flexibility that was not only codicological, but also linguistic. Mercedes Pérez Vidal shows how female religious communities employed manuscript miscellanies as an essential tool for the transferring of knowledge within their networks of interaction. Shari Boodts discusses the fundamental role of compilers' readership in shaping the tradition of influential patristic texts, and Victoria Legkikh engages with some of the challenges posed by the attempt to describe the networks of writing, re-writing, and usage of liturgical books produced by Slavic monastic communities. |
