Re-Using Manuscripts in Late Medieval England: Repairing, Recycling, Sharing Ryley Hannah
During the "long fifteenth century" (here, 1375-1530), the demand for books in England flourished. Fragments of manuscripts were often repurposed, as flyleaves and other components such as palimpsests; and alongside the creation of new books, medieval manuscripts were also repaired, recycled and re-used.This monograph examines the ways in which people sustained older books, exploring the practices and processes by which manuscripts were crafted, mended, protected, marked, gifted and shared. The fast-developing book trade produced them in great quantity.
Its engagement Drawing on the codicological evidence gathered from an extensive survey of extant manuscript collections, in conjunction with historical accounts, recipes and literary texts, it presents detailed case studies exploring parchment production and recycling, the re-use of margins, and second-hand exchanges of books.
