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, WesternHistoryManuscrits medievalsthubCodicologiathubIndústria del llibrethubEuropa occidentalthubLlibres electrònicsthubBook industries and tradeHistoryBooksHistoryCodicologyStatistical methods.ManuscriptsReproductionHistoryManuscripts, MedievalHistory.Manuscrits medievalsCodicologiaIndústria del llibre091.094Buringh E1818531MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973600803321Medieval manuscript production in the Latin West4377726UNINA
