Collecting items made by others, owners form their albums as representations of their selves, their worlds, and their traditions. The volume's contributors - who come from musicology, European history, English literary studies, and Islamic art history - explore a set of these challenging manuscripts while addressing questions of manuscript studies through their respective disciplinary lenses. The albums under investigation range from Early Modern Stammbücher, or alba amicorum, to albums assembled jointly by nineteenth-century cultural elites, and from muraqqa?s of the Persianate world to English and North American friendship albums, including some kept by women. This book is the first contribution to the comparative study of manuscript albums, focusing on their materiality and analysing the practices of all those involved in making and using them. Moreover, the collection introduces this hard-to-grasp type of written artefact to the field of cross-disciplinary manuscript studies and suggests albums as a touchstone for manuscriptological theories and terminologies. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 610 $aEarly Modern Times. 610 $aManuscript Studies. 610 $aalbums. 610 $acollections. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 676 $a746.92 702 $aDroese$b Janine, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKarolewski$b Janina, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996565572603316 996 $aManuscript Albums and their Cultural Contexts$93602709 997 $aUNISA
