Traces of Ink: Experiences of Philology and Replication: Nuncius Series, cartea 7

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 feb 2021
Traces of Ink. Experiences of Philology and Replication is a collection of original papers exploring the textual and material aspects of inks and ink-making in a number of premodern cultures (Babylonia, the Graeco-Roman world, the Syriac milieu and the Arabo-Islamic tradition). The volume proposes a fresh and interdisciplinary approach to the study of technical traditions, in which new results can be achieved thanks to the close collaboration between philologists and scientists. Replication represents a crucial meeting point between these two parties: a properly edited text informs the experts in the laboratory who, in turn, may shed light on many aspects of the text by recreating the material reality behind it.

Contributors are: Miriam Blanco Cesteros, Michele Cammarosano, Claudia Colini, Vincenzo Damiani, Sara Fani, Matteo Martelli, Ira Rabin, Lucia Raggetti, and Katja Weirauch.

Recenzii

"[...] one of the merits of the book probably lies in addressing the complexity of a subfield of book studies that was traditionally overlooked.[...] The second merit of this work is the attempt to propose an interdisciplinary approach to face these challenges and do justice to the complexity that is emerging." - Luca Berardi, Università di Napoli "L'Orientale", in: EURASIAN Studies 19 (2021) 303–306
