About This Book

The work surveys the material and institutional history of handwritten books, describing supports (parchment, papyrus, paper), inks, writing implements, and paleographic systems that shaped scripts and dating methods. It examines bookmaking practices, mechanical and artificial aids, and the roles of libraries, cities, and monasteries in preserving and transmitting texts. It also discusses the advent of movable-type printing and its consequences for manuscript production, and provides practical and historical observations aimed at readers interested in the origins, preservation, and identification of preprint literature.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

Text uses both "mediæval" and "medieval"; both retained.

Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

The Hebrew letter "aleph" appears on pages 64 and 174. Devices that cannot display it may use a "?" or other symbol.

Page 70: "most ancient or the picture-writing" probably should be "of".
