Description: Leiden: Leiden University Press, 2013. 19cm., pbk., 318pp. illus. Summary : Gathering essays from prominent scholars of medieval insular manuscripts, Writing in Context explores various aspects of written culture, with the emphasis on the physical appearance, including the development of insular scripts, book culture in Mercia, the layout of Anglo-Saxon charters, and the transition from Anglo-Saxon to Norman-inspired script and book production. Ultimately, the book highlights, in different ways, the relationship between the paleographical and codicological features of manuscripts and the culture in which the objects were produced and used.
