Methodologically, its authors rely on the assumption that not only the content of a specific message, but also its material form and outlook effect the way in which textual artefacts are understood and interpreted by their individual readers or beholders. Furthermore, writers consciously and at times unconsciously design texts by applying different writing surfaces, writing implements or layouts. The volume includes examples from the Ancient Orient, the antique Mediterranean, medieval Europe and the Middle East to elucidate how communication between rulers and subordinates was conceptualized in largely illiterate pre-modern societies with regard to the materiality, performance and presence of the written word. 410 0$aMateriale Textkulturen ;$vBand 8. 606 $aCommunication$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWriting$zMiddle East$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMaterial culture$zMiddle East 610 $aMaterial culture. 610 $acommunication. 610 $aliteracy. 610 $amateriality. 615 0$aCommunication$xHistory 615 0$aWriting$xHistory 615 0$aMaterial culture 676 $a302.230935 702 $aEnderwitz$b Susanne 702 $aSauer$b Rebecca 712 02$aDeutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308770003316 996 $aCommunication and materiality$92122906 997 $aUNISA
