Leaf or page. What it means to ‘read’ a manuscript

Workshop, Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures,

Room 0001, Warburgstraße 26, 20354 Hamburg, Germany

22./23.6.2018

Organisation: Christian Benne (Kopenhagen) / Carlos Spoerhase (Bielefeld)

 

Whether a manuscript consists of (autographical) leaves or (allographical) pages depends on the perspective. When, how, and why do leaves turn into pages – and vice versa? Does the reading of a manuscript necessarily entail the putting aside of autographical elements? How can the handwritten nature of a text be accounted for under the conditions of a reading practice that was developed with print culture’s understanding of the page in mind? These questions seem pertinent not least in the context of novel editing techniques: manuscript leaves become facsimiles and transcribed pages, which ostensibly demand novel reading strategies, but do not deliver them automatically alongside the edition itself. Something similar could be said about the digital representation of manuscripts on two-dimensional screens. With the help of selected examples, the workshop will try to reconsider interpretation and reading in the light of the manuscript. It will consist of a number of presentations and discussions, not formal lectures. For interested guests from other disciplines, there will be an English summary at the end of each day, as well as a talk in English (including discussion).
