Klosterreform Und Mittelalterliche Buchkultur Im Deutschen Südwesten
ISBN: 9789004166684 / Angielski / Twarda / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Scribes for Women's Convents in Late Medieval Germany
ISBN: 9780802093691 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While there has been a great tradition of scholarship in medieval manuscripts, most studies have focused on the details of manuscript production by male copyists. In this study, Cynthia J. Cyrus demonstrates the prevalence of manuscript production by women monastics and challenges current assumptions of how manuscripts circulated in the late medieval period. Drawing on extensive research into the surviving manuscripts of over 450 women's convents, the author assesses the genres common to women's convent libraries emphasizing a social rather than a codicological understanding of how...

Lying now under the sand 300 kilometres south of the coastal metropolis of Alexandria, the town of Oxyrhynchus rose to prominence under Egypt's Hellenistic and Roman rulers.

The surviving bookrolls - the papyrus rolls with literary texts - have provided a great deal of information on ancient books,...
