About this book

This is the first book to provide a broad outline of the hitherto unknown history of the premodern »text«. Following the new approach of historical semantics, the contributions look at how the term textus was used during the Middle Ages. Drawing on a wide range of sources (hagiography, historiography, rural, urban and canon law, letters, patristic and theological writings, images, musical notation), they enable the various usages of textus to be appreciated within various fields of tradition and action. Both long-term continuities and changes in meaning are revealed.
