| Abstract | This session engages with collecting practices and their relation with networks of mobilities, writing, readership and exchanges of information. Saša Potočnjak follows the traces of migrating manuscripts in order to better understand the role of collectors in the spreading of new forms of literacy. Alessandro Gnasso describes the process of disentangling the information transmitted by the catalogues of Hernando Colón's collection and representing it in an online database. Finally, Matilde Malaspina disentangles the layers of writing and corrections within the Libro de los epítomes, a key manuscript in the system devised for cataloging Hernando Colón's library. |
