They focus on examples ranging from the seventh to the seventeenth century emanating from the Muslim World, East Asia, Byzantium and Western Europe. Accumulation and preservation are the key motivations for the development of libraries. Rulers, scholars and men of religion were clearly dedicated to collecting books and sought to protect these fragile objects against the various hazards that threatened their survival. Many of these treasured books are long gone, but there remain hosts of evidence enabling one to reconstruct the collections to which they belonged, found in ancient buildings, literary accounts, archival documentation and, most crucially, catalogues. With such material at hand or, in some cases, the manuscripts of a certain library which have come down to us, it is possible to reflect on the nature of these libraries of the past, the interests of their owners, and their role in the intellectual history of the manuscript age. 410 0$aStudies in manuscript cultures. 606 $aCriticism 610 $aWritten culture. 610 $aarchives. 610 $ahistory of scholarship. 610 $aprivate collections. 615 0$aCriticism. 702 $aBossina$b Luciano$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aCastilla$b Nuria de$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aColas$b Gérard$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDrège$b Jean-Pierre$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDéroche$b François$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDéroche$b François$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFriedrich$b Michael$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFriedrich$b Michael$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKopp$b Vanina$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aNebbiai$b Donatella$f1952-$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aPérez Martín$b Inmaculada$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSeyller$b John$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSmits$b Ivo$f1965-$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aTahali$b Lbachir$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aVerger$b Jacques$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMarti?nez de Castilla$b Nuria$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aEuropean Research Council,$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996509962203316 996 $aLibraries in the Manuscript Age$93008956 997 $aUNISA
