Material Moments in Book Cultures presents essays on topics from the Middle Ages to the present. Thematically, the contributions cover manuscript and print culture, the history of reading and the transmission of texts, the uses of books in magic and comedy, book-trade relations across national and ideological boundaries as well as literary studies.
This Festschrift honours the dedicated book historian and medievalist Gabriele Müller-Oberhäuser. Her wide-ranging scholarly expertise has encouraged and influenced many adepts of the book. The essays in this volume reflect the variety of her interests: The contributions range from Chaucer’s Fürstenspiegel to the value of books in comedy, from the material book to the magical book in religious and literary cultures, from collaborative efforts in manuscript production to the relations of distributors of books across national and ideological boundaries, from the relations between the makers of books to the relation of readers to their books. Covering a period from the Middle Ages to the present, the volume concludes with a look at the future of book history as a field of study.
