Sommario/riassunto

Reading the Margins of the Early Modern Bible presents a new understanding of how notes in the margins of the Bible were read in early modernity. Horbury investigates the creative and surprising ways readers engaged with these margins, resisting narratives that present them as dangerous and seditious.
