Publishing in a Medieval Monastery: The View from Twelfth-Century Engelberg (Elements in Publishing and Book Culture) by Benjamin Pohl
A brief study of some 40 manuscripts produced at the Swiss Benedictine monastery of Engelberg in the twelfth century. Benjamin Pohl argues that their colophons, particularly those from the time of the abbot Frowin, when examined in light of contemporary ideas about what it meant to be an auctor and of auctoritas, encourage us to think of the dissemination of manuscripts during this period as being part of a "publishing culture." Solidly argued, though I'm not convinced that this wouldn't show more have worked just as well as a journal article. show less
