It is the indigenous form by which manuscripts have been crafted in South Asia and the cultural areas most influenced by it, that is to say Central and South East Asia. The volume focuses particularly on the colophons featured in such manuscripts presenting a series of essays enabling the reader to engage in a historical and comparative investigation of the links connecting the several manuscript cultures examined here. Colophons as paratexts are situated at the intersection between texts and the artefacts that contain them and offer a unique vantage point to attain global appreciation of their manuscript cultures and literary traditions. Colophons are also the product of scribal activities that have moved across regions and epochs alongside the pothi form, providing a common thread binding together the many millions of pothis still today found in libraries in Asia and the world over. These contributions provide a systematic approach to the internal structure of colophons, i.e. their ?syntax?, and facilitate a vital, comparative approach. 410 0$aStudies in Manuscript Cultures 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / Indic$2bisacsh 610 $aIndia. 610 $acolophon. 610 $amanuscript. 610 $asyntax. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / Indic. 676 $a091 702 $aBalbir$b Nalini, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBalbir$b Nalini, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBaums$b Stefan, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCiotti$b Giovanni, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCiotti$b Giovanni, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFormigatti$b Camillo, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFranceschini$b Marco, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGrabowsky$b Volker, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKasai$b Yukiyo, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMeij$b Dick van der, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPanarut$b Peera, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPinault$b Georges-Jean, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSchnake$b Javier, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aWangchuk$b Dorji, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996503571203316 996 $aThe Syntax of Colophons$93384093 997 $aUNISA
