the so-called 'canon tables' of the christian gospels are an absolutely remarkable feature of the early, late antique, and medieval christian manuscript cultures of east and west, the invention of which is commonly attributed to eusebius and dated to first decades of the fourth century ad. intended to host a technical device for structuring, organizing, and navigating the four gospels united in a single codex - and, in doing so, building upon and bringing to completion previous endeavours - the canon tables were apparently from the beginning a highly complex combination of text, numbers and images, that became an integral and fixed part of all the manuscripts containing the four gospels as sacred scripture of the christians and can be seen as exemplary for the formation, development and spreading of a specific christian manuscript culture across east and west ad 300 and 800.

in the footsteps of carl nordenfalk's masterly publication of 1938 and few following contributions, this book offers an updated overview on the topic of 'canon tables' in a comparative perspective and with a precise look at their context of origin, their visual appearance, their meaning, function and their usage in different times, domains, and cultures.

  • the essays in this volume are concerned with early printed narrative texts in western europe. the aim of this book is to consider to what extent the shift from hand-written to printed books left its mark on narrative literature in a number of vernacular languages. did the advent of printing bring about changes in the corpus of narrative texts when compared with the corpus extant in manuscript copies? did narrative texts that already existed in manuscript form undergo significant modifications when they began to be printed? how did this crucial media development affect the nature of these narratives? which strategies did early printers develop to make their texts commercially attractive? which social classes were the target audiences for their editions? around half of the articles focus on developments in the history of early printed narrative texts, others discuss publication strategies. this book provides an impetus for cross-linguistic research. it invites scholars from various disciplines to get involved in an international conversation about fifteenth- and sixteenth-century narrative literature.

  • beginning with the early masters of the sonnet form, dante and petrarch, the companion examines the reinvention of the sonnet across times and cultures, from europe to america. in doing so, it considers sonnets as diverse as those by william shakespeare, william wordsworth, george herbert and e. e. cummings. the chapters explore how we think of the sonnet as a 'lyric' and what is involved in actually trying to write one. the book includes a lively discussion between three distinguished contemporary poets - paul muldoon, jeff hilson and meg tyler - on the experience of writing a sonnet, and a chapter which traces the sonnet's diffusion across manuscript, print, screen and the internet. a fresh and authoritative overview of this major poetic form, the companion expertly guides the reader through the sonnet's history and development into the global multimedia phenomenon it is today (1)

  • it also incorporates revisions that hardy made in his "study copy" of the novel and in his marked printer's copy and page proofs for the harper and brothers "sixpenny edition" of 1901, whenever these revisions could be confidently judged to represent hardy's final deliberate intent. the resulting text includes revisions by hardy which have never appeared before in a modern edition. the novel is fully annotated and is accompanied by hardy's map of wessex and a simplified map of the landscape of far from the madding crowd. "textual notes" include a list of emendations, examples of variant readings from the manuscript to the wessex edition, and a discussion of the choice of copy text. the textual history of the novel is traced in extracts from studies by richard little purdy and simon gatrell. "backgrounds" includes substantial extracts from hardy's correspondence with leslie stephen and is followed by a selection of contemporary reviews. twentieth-century "criticism" is represented by howard babb, roy morrell, alan friedman, j. hillis miller, michael millgate, penelope vigar, peter j. casagrande, ian gregor, and albert c. schweik. show more (1)

  • piers plowman has long been considered one of the greatest poems of medieval england. current scholarship on this alliterative masterpiece looks very different from that available even a decade ago. new information about the manuscripts of the poem, new historical discoveries, and new investigations of its literary, cultural and theoretical scope have fundamentally altered the very meaning of langland's art. this companion thus critically surveys traditional scholarship, with the aim of recuperating its best insights, and it ventures forth into newer areas of inquiry attuned to questions of social setting, institutional context, intellectual and literary history, theory, and the revitalized fields of codicology and paleography. by proceeding through chapters that offer cumulatively wider views as well as stand-alone analyses of topics most crucial to understanding piers plowman, this companion gives serious students and seasoned scholars alike up-to-date knowledge of this intricate and beautiful poem (1)
  • the medieval norse-icelandic saga is one of the most important european vernacular literary genres of the middle ages. this introduction to the saga genre outlines its origins and development, its literary character, its material existence in manuscripts and printed editions, and its changing reception from the middle ages to the present time. its multiple sub-genres - including family sagas, mythical-heroic sagas and sagas of knights - are described and discussed in detail, and the world of medieval icelanders is powerfully evoked. the first general study of the old norse-icelandic saga to be written in english for some decades, the introduction is based on up-to-date scholarship and engages with current debates in the field. with suggestions for further reading, detailed information about the icelandic literary canon, and a map of medieval iceland, this book is aimed at students of medieval literature and assumes no prior knowledge of scandinavian languages (1)
  • the scholarship and teaching of manuscript studies has been transformed by digitisation, rendering previously rarefied documents accessible for study on a vast scale. the cambridge companion to medieval british manuscripts orientates students in the complex, multidisciplinary study of medieval book production and contemporary display of manuscripts from c.600–1500. accessible explanations draw on key case studies to illustrate the major methodologies and explain why skills in understanding early book production are so critical for reading, editing, and accessing a rich cultural heritage. chapters by leading specialists in manuscript studies range from explaining how manuscripts were stored, to revealing the complex networks of readers and writers which can be understood through manuscripts, to an in depth discussion on the wycliffite bible (1)
  • the term 'music sketch' relates to the vast variety of documents that are used by composers to work out a musical technique or idea and to prepare their work for performance or publication. these documents can often provide crucial insights into authorship, biography, editorial practice and musical analysis. this introduction provides students and scholars with the knowledge and skills they need to embark on research projects involving the study of composers' working documents. presenting examples of the compositional process over a 400-year period, it includes a selection of detailed case studies on how sketches were created and the techniques that were used, such as transcription and the sorting of loose leaves. numerous illustrations of manuscripts and autographs, many of which have never been published before, show how these vital documents can be used to better understand compositional processes (1)
  • this element examines eighteenth-century manuscript forms, their functions in the literary landscape of their time, and the challenges and practices of manuscript study today. drawing on both literary studies and book history, levy and schellenberg offer a guide to the principal forms of literary activity carried out in handwritten manuscripts produced in the first era of print dominance, 1730-1820. after an opening survey of sociable literary culture and its manuscript forms, numerous case studies explore what can be learned from three manuscript types: the verse miscellany, the familiar correspondence, and manuscripts of literary works that were printed. a final section considers issues of manuscript remediation up to the present, focusing particularly on digital remediation. the element concludes with a brief case study of the movement of phillis wheatley's poems between manuscript and print. this title is also available as open access on cambridge core (1)
  • this element is a contribution to the ongoing debate on what it meant to publish a book in manuscript. it offers case-studies of three twelfth-century anglo-norman historians: william of malmesbury, henry of huntingdon, and geoffrey of monmouth. it argues that the contemporary success and rapid attainment of canonical authority for their histories was in significant measure the result of successfully conducted publishing activities. these activities are analysed using the concept of a 'publishing circle'. this concept, it is suggested, may have wider utility in the study of authorial publishing in a manuscript culture. this element is also available as open access (1)
  • this element proposes to relate the eighteenth-century world of travel and travel writing with the bluestocking salon. it locates eminent british travellers and explorers in the female-presided intellectual space and examines their multifaceted interaction with the bluestockings between 1760 and 1799. the study shows how the bluestockings acquired knowledge of the world through reading, discussing, writing and collecting travel accounts. it explores the 'social life' of manuscript and printed travel texts in the circle, their popularity and impact on the bluestockings. this element builds upon the body of evidence provided by their published and unpublished diaries, correspondence and private library catalogues (1)
  • throughout human history, the world's knowledge and fruits of the creative imagination have been produced, circulated and received through the medium of the material text. this companion provides a wide-ranging account of the history of the book and its ways of thinking about works from ancient inscription to contemporary e-books, discussing thematic, chronological and methodological aspects of this interdisciplinary field. the first part considers book cultures from local, national and global perspectives. part two, organized around the dynamic relationship between the material book and the mutable text, develops a loosely chronological narrative from early writing, through manuscript and early printing, to the institution of a mechanized book trade, and on to the globalization of publishing and the introduction of the electronic book. a third part takes a practical turn, discussing methods, sources and approaches: bibliographical, archival and reading experience methodologies, as well as pedagogical strategies (1)
