How medieval users handled their manuscripts | Professor Kathryn Rudy, Inaugural Lecture
Fingers, Lips and Parchment: How Medieval Users Handled their Manuscripts
Lecture by Kathryn M Rudy
Given at the University of St Andrews on Wednesday 30 October 30 2019.
In this talk Professor Rudy will consider the settings and circumstances by which readers learned to handle — and deface! — their manuscripts.
She will argue that people in authority, including priests, teachers, parents and legal officials, touched books publicly to carry out rituals.
In so doing, they inadvertently taught audiences how to handle books in highly physical ways.
Cumulative wear in books testifies to how they were used and handled.
