Synopsis

This collection, which brings together scholars
from the history of the book, law, science, medicine, literature, art, and philosophy, interrogates the role played by paratexts in establishing
authority, constructing bodies of knowledge, promoting education, shaping
reader response, and preserving or subverting tradition in medieval manuscript
culture.
