Tracing Manuscripts in Time and Space through Paratexts: Perspectives from ParatextsGiovanni Ciotti, Hang Lin As records of the link between a manuscript and the texts it contains, paratexts document many aspects of a manuscript’s life: production, transmission, usage, and reception. Comprehensive studies of paratexts are still rare in the field of manuscript studies, and the universal categories of time and space are used to create a common frame for research and comparisons. Contributions in this volume span over three continents and one millennium. |
