In nine chapters various types of texts represented in different media and in a range of materials are treated. The topics include two chapters on epigraphy, on lead amulets and stone monuments inscribed with runes and Roman letters. In four chapters aspects of the manuscript culture is discussed, the role of authorship and of the dissemination of Christian topics in translations. The appropriation of a Latin book culture in the vernaculars is treated as well as the adminstrative use of writing in charters. In the two final chapters topics related to the emerging print culture in early post-medieval manuscripts and prints are discussed with a focus on reception. The range of topics will make the book relevant for scholars from all fields of medieval research as well as those interested in mediality and materiality in general.Modes of Modification LITERARY CRITICISM / MedievalbisacshManuscripts.materiality.mediality.runes.LITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval.Blennow Annactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHedström Ingelactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHorn Anna Catharinactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHorn Anna Catharinaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtImer Lisbeth M.ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbJohansson Karl G.ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbJohansson Karl G.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtNiskanen Samuctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbPalumbo Alessandroctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRichter Anna Katharinactbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSif Ríkharðsdóttirctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRösli Lukasctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbÆgisson Hjalti Snærctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996423846703316The Meaning of Media2814466UNISA
