Description

"This volume of 'Opuscula' presents a selection of essays on the subject of post-print manuscript cultures along what may be called 'the north Atlantic fringe'--Ireland, Gaelic-speaking Scotland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands--where chirographic transmission remained the norm until well into the modern era. The essays gathered here seek to establish overarching reasons for the continuation of manuscript culture across this region, and analyse the common modalities of scribal practice from each area, with particular focus on the interaction of manuscript and print."--
