Opis

Marginalia in early modern and medieval texts – printed, handwritten, drawn, scratched, colored, and pasted in – offer a crazy quilt composed of fragments of how people, as individuals and in groups, interacted with books and manuscripts over often lengthy periods of time.

Recenzje

‘A wide-ranging and scholarly collection of essays, addressing early-modern marginalia from many different angles – this is the best expression of where scholarship currently is in this growth area of research.’ William Poole, New College, Oxford
