This volume contains a series of thirteen articles devoted to fakes and forgeries of written artefacts from the beginnings of writing in Mesopotamia to modern China. The studies emphasise the subtle distinctions conveyed by an established vocabulary relating to the reproduction of ancient artefacts and production of artefacts claiming to be ancient: from copies, replicas and imitations to fakes and forgeries. Fakes are often a response to a demand from the public or scholarly milieu, or even both. The motives behind their production may be economic, political, religious or personal ? aspiring to fame or simply playing a joke. Fakes may be revealed by combining the study of their contents, codicological, epigraphic and palaeographic analyses, and scientific investigations. However, certain famous unsolved cases still continue to defy technology today, no matter how advanced it is. Nowadays, one can find fakes in museums and private collections alike; they abound on the antique market, mixed with real artefacts that have often been looted. The scientific community?s attitude to such objects calls for ethical reflection. 410 0$aStudies in manuscript cultures ;$v20. 606 $aForgery of manuscripts 606 $aForgery of antiquities 606 $aLiterary forgeries and mystifications 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 610 $aFakes. 610 $aForgeries. 610 $aWritten artefacts. 615 0$aForgery of manuscripts. 615 0$aForgery of antiquities. 615 0$aLiterary forgeries and mystifications. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 676 $a089.3 700 $aMichel$b Cécile$4auth$0639834 702 $aCatherine$b Breniquet$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aClaudia$b Colini$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCécile$b Michel$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDan$b Shapira$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aEkkehard$b Weber$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFrançois$b Déroche$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFriedrich$b Michael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aIra$b Rabin$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJan$b Just Witkam$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJost$b Gippert$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMalachi$b Beit-Arié$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMichael$b Friedrich$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMichel$b Cécile$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOliver$b Hahn$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aOlivier$b Gengler$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aUta$b Lauer$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 712 02$aCentre for the Study of Manuscript$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996379039703316 996 $aFakes and forgeries of written artefacts from Ancient Mesopotamia to Modern China$93384154 997 $aUNISA
