Abstract

This respected introductory work begins with an overview of script types, the historical evolution of writing, and the methods used in medieval German manuscriptology. Next, it illustrates the process of creating a codex. The final section describes how manuscripts were commissioned, previous ownership, and the later medieval history of German manuscripts. The text has been revised for this 3rd edition.
