Beskrivning
This book presents the collectors’ roles as prominently as the collections of books and texts which they assembled. Contributors explore the activities and networks shaping a range of continental and transcontinental European public and private collections during the Renaissance, Enlightenment and modern eras. They study the impact of class, geographical location and specific cultural contexts on the gathering and use of printed and handwritten texts and other printed artefacts. The volume explores the social dimension of book collecting, and considers how practices of collecting developed during these periods of profound cultural, social and political change.

Recensioner i media

"The quality of the historical scholarship is high. Many of the papers offer fascinating insights into archival practices in little-known parts of the world... Above all, Manuscripts and Archives is to be applauded for traversing the divide that so often separates medieval and early-modern historians from their colleagues who study more remote societies. The inclusion of a solitary contribution from a practising archivist is a small but welcome bonus." - Geoffrey Yeo, Library & Information History
