In particular, it challenges the idea that mechanical print naturally and inevitably displaces handwritten texts as well as the notion that the so-called transition from manuscript to print is unidirectional. Indeed, rather than distinct technologies that emerge in a progressive series (one naturally following the other), they frequently co-exist in complex and complementary relationships ? relationships we are only now starting to recognize and explore.The book brings together essays by internationally recognized scholars from an array of disciplines (including philology, linguistics, religious studies, history, anthropology, and typography) whose work focuses on the written word ? channeled through various media ? as a social and cultural phenomenon within the Islamic tradition. These essays promote systematic approaches to the study of Islamic writing cultures writ large, in an effort to further our understanding of the social, cultural and intellectual relationships between manuscripts, printed texts and the people who use and create them. 410 0$aStudies in Manuscript Cultures 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / General$2bisacsh 610 $aIslamic literature. 610 $abook history. 610 $amanuscript studies. 610 $amanuscript. 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / General. 676 $a091.091767 686 $aAN 18680$2rvk 702 $aAdam$b Sani Yakubu, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBrigaglia$b Andrea, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDell$b Jeremy, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGori$b Alessandro, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJaber$b Mahmoud, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aNemeth$b Titus, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aOsborn$b J.R., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aReese$b Scott, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aReese$b Scott, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSchwartz$b Kathryn A., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aStark$b Ulrike, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSuit$b Natalia K., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aWarnk$b Holger, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996487160803316 996 $aManuscript and Print in the Islamic Tradition$92910064 997 $aUNISA
