Remembering the Living and the Dead in Fifteenth-Century Armenian Colophons: The Case of Bodleian MS Marsh 438 (I-III)- David Zakarian Summary This book is the first to chart the global diversity of colophons between 1400 and 1800. The volume presents a new approach to scribal cultures that expands traditional definitions. Moving from the paradigm of codicological information towards a thorough interpretation of the wider social worlds of colophons in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, this volume uncovers the fascinating cultural history of early modern scribes. Chapters examine how those engaging in the composition and distribution of colophons shaped scribal identities, group cultures and bookish communities in a world in which manuscripts mattered. Authors build on approaches from anthropology, cultural studies, codicology, history, and philology to offer a new conceptual framework that studies colophons as scribal practices embedded in their changing social and cultural worlds. As a new contribution to the history of the book, this volumes global approach pushes the boundaries of what constitutes a colophon Notes Print version record Subject Colophons -- History -- To 1500 Colophons -- History -- 16th century Colophons -- History -- 17th century Colophons -- History -- 18th century Colophons of manuscripts -- History -- To 1500 Colophons of manuscripts -- History -- 16th century Colophons of manuscripts -- History -- 17th century Colophons of manuscripts -- History -- 18th century Scribes -- History -- To 1500 Scribes -- History -- 16th century Scribes -- History -- 17th century Scribes -- History -- 18th century Colophons.
