Book Description

In this volume, a series of essays address the theme of the material aspects of reading in ancient Egypt, ancient, rabbinic, and medieval Judaism, early Christianity, and Islam. Each contribution analyzes how different practices of reading were conceptualized with regard to materiality, performance and presence of the written word, and draws conclusions about the relationship between the material artefacts and the inferred reading practices
