Based on a sample from an extensive library and on additional information the numbers of manuscripts surviving from the period 500 – 1500 have been assessed statistically. Other data have been used to quantify the loss rates of such books in the Latin West. Combining both sets of data allowed the estimation of the medieval production rates of manuscripts. Book production during the Middle Ages can be seen as a century-average indicator of local economic output. With a number of explanatory variables (monasteries, universities) the medieval book production in the Latin West can be adequately explained.Global Economic History Series6.Book industries and tradeEurope, WesternHistoryTo 1500BooksEurope, WesternHistory400-1450CodicologyStatistical methodsManuscriptsReproductionHistoryTo 1500Manuscripts, MedievalEurope, WesternHistoryElectronic books.Book industries and tradeHistoryBooksHistoryCodicologyStatistical methods.ManuscriptsReproductionHistoryManuscripts, MedievalHistory.091.094Buringh E961708MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461515503321Medieval manuscript production in the Latin West2180280UNINA
