Questo volume, concepito inizialmente come seconda edizione riveduta, corretta e aggiornata del precedente Il libro manoscritto. Introduzione alla Codicologia (n 124 di questa collana), e in realta una redazione ampliata e modificata, come dimostra la rinnovata veste tipografica. In un momento in cui l'abbattimento delle barriere politico-ideologiche diventa un obiettivo di urgente necessita, l'indagine sulla scienza del libro prima di Gutenberg, o Codicologia, dall'autrice concepita in modo integrale - storia del libro antico e medievale e delle relative tecniche di fabbricazione sino alle sue odierne sedi di conservazione, e storia degli studi -, viene spinta oltre i confini delle civilta greca e latina della tradizione accademica occidentale. In un tentativo di metodologia comparativa, di sussidio per una migliore lettura di tanti fenomeni della produzione libraria artigianale, si pongono a confronto, dove possibile, le culture che con le nostre, venendo a contatto, hanno interagito: da Oriente a Occidente, soprattutto attraverso Bisanzio, l'Impero millenario multietnico che ha raccolto e salvato l'eredita romana e greca insieme, eredita sulla quale, mediando, ha fuso pratiche culturali e linguistiche, nonche tecniche librarie e artistiche di matrici diverse.

The Book: The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding Civilization is a hand-illustrated journey into the art of starting over. With whimsy and insight, it explores how to rebuild society from scratch if the modern world were to disappear tomorrow. Blending captivating illustrations with thought-provoking ideas from science, art, engineering, and more, its both an imaginative guide to reestablishing the world we take for granted and a heartfelt celebration of human ingenuity.

Long-distance ties connecting Europeans from all geographical corners of the continent during the fifteenth and sixteenth century facilitated the sharing of religious texts, books, iconography, ideas, and practices. The contributions to this book aim to reconstruct these European networks of knowledge exchange by exploring how religious ideas and strategies of transformation 'travelled' and were shared in European and transatlantic cultural spaces. In order to come to a better understanding of Europe-wide processes of religious culture and religious change, the chapters focus on the agency of the laity in 'new communities of interpretation', instead of intellectual elites, the aristocracy, and religious institutions. These new communities of interpretation were often formed by an urban laity active in politics, finance, and commerce. The agency of religious literatures in the European vernaculars in processes of religious purification, reform, and innovation during the long fifteenth century is still largely underestimated. 'Networking Europe' aims to step away from studying 'national' textual production and consumption by approaching these topics instead from a European and interconnected perspective. The contributions to this book explore late medieval and early modern networks connecting people and transporting texts following three main axes of investigation: 'European Connections', 'Exiles, Diasporas, and Migrants', and 'Mobility and Dissemination'.

Ever since Neolithic times Greek lands lay open to cultural imports from western Asia: agriculture, metal-working, writing, religious institutions, artistic fashions, musical instruments, and much more. Over the last sixty years scholars have increasingly become aware of links connecting early Greek poetry with the literatures of Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Canaan, and Israel. Martin West's new book far surpasses previous studies in comprehensiveness, demonstrating these links with massive and detailed documentation and showing that they are much more fundamental and pervasive than has hitherto been acknowledged. His survey embraces Hesiod, the Homeric epics, the lyric poets, and Aeschylus, and concludes with an illuminating discussion of possible avenues of transmission between the orient and Greece. He believes that an age has dawned in which Hellenists will no more be able to ignore the Near Eastern literature than Latinists can ignore Greek.
