By focusing on the role manuscripts have in different kinds of performances, this volume contributes to the evolving field of investigating written artefacts and their functions.The collected essays regard manuscripts as points of intersection where textual, material, and performative aspects converge. The contributors analyse manuscripts in their forms and functions as well as their positioning in the performances for which they were made. These aspects unfold across the volume's three sections, examining how manuscripts are (1) used backstage, for preparing and giving instructions for performances; (2) taken onstage, contributing to the enactment of performances; and (3) performers in their own right, producing an effect on the audience.The diversified, interdisciplinary, and innovative methodologies of the included papers carry great potential to expand the traditional approaches of manuscript studies and find application outside the contributors' respective fields. 410 0$aStudies in Manuscript Cultures Series 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 610 $acalculations. 610 $aceremony. 610 $ahandwritten artefacts. 610 $aperformance. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 676 $a000 700 $aBrita$b Antonella$0704041 701 $aKarolewski$b Janina$01440070 701 $aHusson$b Matthieu$01370712 701 $aMiolo$b Laure$01300302 701 $aWimmer$b Hanna$01440071 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838179403321 996 $aManuscripts and Performances in Religions, Arts, and Sciences$93602620 997 $aUNINA
