El análisis de la evolución de la terminología técnica utilizada en la descripción científica de textos y manuscritos desde la Edad Media hasta nuestros días es el argumento que los responsables de este volumen pretenden poner al alcance del lector como tema de discusión y de reflexión. La particularidad del libro manuscrito reside en constituir un unicum donde los elementos materiales, estructurales y de contenido (texto e imagen) se relacionan necesariamente entre sí. Asimismo, los usos lingüísticos de los coetáneos de los manuscritos medievales para denominar su propia realidad libresca y textual se erigen en un objeto de estudio que ahonda en la consideración del manuscrito y del texto, de su forma y de su contenido, como entidades indisociables.00Es recomendable, por lo tanto, un acercamiento multidisciplinar al libro manuscrito, un acercamiento que exige la colaboración de especialistas de disciplinas diversas, cada una de ellas con una terminología técnica propia. Con esa perspectiva, los trabajos presentados en estas páginas servirán como descripción del estado de la cuestión y, a la vez, como punto de partida útil para que paleógrafos, codicólogos, historiadores del arte o filólogos comparen sus respectivos modos de abordar el análisis del libro manuscrito y de sus textos, enriqueciéndose unos a otros mediante sus conocimientos propios y particulares sobre la cuestión, todo ello con el fin de favorecer la utilización de un vocabulario adecuado y, si se considera posible y conveniente, común.

What roles did scribes play in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance? Scribes played complex, often overlooked roles in the production of hand-written texts across Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. Some scribes simply copied the exemplar; other scribes participated with authors and decorators in establishing the mise-en-page and overall appearance of a text. Many decisions needed to be made regarding the selection of text script; the style of rubrication, display scripts, and initials; the placement and execution of potentially elaborate illuminated images. What was the role of the scribe in contributing to the decision-making process or in determining the final format and material appearance of a document, scroll or codex? This volume explores many of the choices that a single scribe or groups of scribes would need to make when writing and presenting a text, whether in a monastic, cathedral or lay setting. The articles in the volume range from case studies of a single artifact to the analysis of multiple copies and versions of a particular text. The authors include eminent specialists in the field of manuscript studies as well as mid- and early career scholars.

Palimpsests are texts from which the primary text has been effaced to make room for fresh writing. The practice was particularly important in the early Middle Ages, when numerous, often precious, books were subjected to this treatment. As a result, many ancient texts lay hidden in European libraries for centuries. Ever since the first palimpsests were discovered in the seventeenth century, scholars have been fascinated by the possibility of discovering hitherto unknown texts. For a long time, the lower script of palimpsests could only be brought back to the light of day through the use of chemical reagents that proved very detrimental to the manuscripts. The great advance away from these destructive techniques came at the beginning of the twentieth century with the application of ultra-violet photography. Today, striking advances in this field are again being made with the development of digital imaging. The contributions in this volume focus mainly on the cultural evidence offered by palimpsests from the early Middle Ages. Some contributors have examined particular manuscripts in great detail (the London palimpsest of Jerome’s Chronicle or the Munich palimpsest codex from Benediktbeuern); others have looked at specific types of texts that have suffered deletion in this way (liturgical palimpsests, Carolingian letters). The volume also contains a handlist of all known palimpsested manuscripts in Beneventan script.
