The fast-developing book trade produced them in great quantity. Fragments of manuscripts were often repurposed, as flyleaves and other components such as palimpsests; and alongside the creation of new books, medieval manuscripts were also repaired, recycled and re-used. This monograph examines the ways in which people sustained older books, exploring the practices and processes by which manuscripts were crafted, mended, protected, marked, gifted and shared. Drawing on the codicological evidence gathered from an extensive survey of extant manuscript collections, in conjunction with historical accounts, recipes and literary texts, it presents detailed case studies exploring parchment production and recycling, the re-use of margins, and second-hand exchanges of books. Its engagement with the evidence in - and inscribed on - surviving books enables a fresh appraisal of late medieval manuscript culture in England, looking at how people went about re-using books, and arguing that over the course of this period, books were made, used and re-used in a myriad of sustainable ways."-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Medieval $z England. 650 0 $a Palimpsests $z England. 650 0 $a Parchment $z England. 650 0 $a Manuscripts $x History $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Bookbinding $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z England $x History $y To 1500. 830 0 $a York manuscript and early print studies ; $v v. 4. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804010418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E233EA54E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
