X Abstract

In this fascinating book, one of the world`s foremost authorities on writing and the social history of books discusses reading and writing in medieval Italy. Armando Petrucci addresses concerns central to paleographers and to cultural historians: how people learned to write, what they wrote, what they read, how scribes were trained, the purposes for which books were copied, and how ideas about books influenced their use, preservation, and transmission.
