Abstract

This study presents detailed information on the book production per century and on the uses of medieval manuscripts in eleven areas of the Latin West. Based on a sample from an extensive library and on additional information the numbers of manuscripts surviving from the period 500 – 1500 have been assessed statistically. Other data have been used to quantify the loss rates of such books in the Latin West. Combining both sets of data allowed the estimation of the medieval production rates of manuscripts. Book production during the Middle Ages can be seen as a century-average indicator of local economic output. With a number of explanatory variables (monasteries, universities) the medieval book production in the Latin West can be adequately explained.

Abstract

As the manuscript treasures in the libraries of Timbuktu and throughout the northwestern quarter of Africa become known, many questions are raised. How did a manuscript culture flourish in the Sahara and in Muslim Africa more generally? Under what conditions did African intellectuals thrive, and how did they acquire scholarly works and the writing paper necessary to contribute to knowledge? By exploring the history of the trans-Saharan book and paper trades, the scholarly production and teaching curricula of African Muslims and the formation, preservation and codicology of library collections, the authors of this original volume provide a variety of answers. The select number of invited contributions represents current research in the material, technological, economic, and cultural dimensions of manuscript production, circulation, and preservation, and the development of specific scholarly and intellectual traditions in Saharan and Sudanic Africa.

Abstract

Pourquoi se préoccuper des brouillons, de tous ces manuscrits de travail illisibles qu’ont laissés derrière eux les écrivains ? N’y a-t-il pas assez de livres à lire ? Ne posent-ils pas suffisamment de problèmes en eux-mêmes ?L’idée d’une génétique littéraire, voire d’une critique génétique fondée sur l’étude des brouillons, laisse perplexe. On se demande si une telle bizarrerie peut revendiquer sérieusement le statut d’une véritable discipline.Pour répondre à ces interrogations, ce livre propose une série de modèles, empruntés aux domaines les plus divers, de la recette des œufs brouillés aux truffes au transfert freudien, de la bathmologie barthésienne à la sémantique des mondes possibles, qui s’efforcent de rendre compte, de manière à la fois rigoureuse et imagée, des enjeux de la genèse et des logiques qui lui sont propres — car, malgré les apparences, l’univers des brouillons n’est pas chaotique, il est régi par des logiques qui ne sont pas les mêmes que celles du texte achevé.Ces modèles sont la trace de l’expérience que représente la plongée dans les manuscrits d’écrivains, à la fois expérience vécue, dont on ressort avec un regard transformé, et pratique expérimentale d’une discipline encore neuve. C’est à partir de là qu’on peut espérer apporter une réponse à la plus difficile des questions : « à quoi bon ? » et montrer ce que la dimension génétique apporte à l’expérience de la littérature et, plus généralement, de l’œuvre d’art.
