Kommentare/ Inhalte:
The history of the codex in Europe – the book as we know it – spans at least 2,000 years, and for most of this time, its contents were exclusively written by hand. Its particular material characteristics and its complex, three-dimensional structure that we usually take for granted, have fundamentally shaped the way in which people have visually organized writing, pictorial and ornamental elements in their written artefacts, and the way in which the written word and its material vehicle have been perceived, used and reresented in, for instance, theology, liturgy, law, literature and more recently, film-making. In turn, book users’ changing requirements and expectations, as well as technological innovations in book-making, have shaped and reshaped the visual organization and the material and aesthetic qualities of the codex throughout its history.
They have also, as it happens, continued to reshape the way in which art historians and scholars from other disciplines study manuscripts and their contents. It is no coincidence that the arrival of the ‘digital age’ has seen a steep rise in interest in the mediality and materiality of older ways of transmitting and preserving knowledge.
This lecture series will explore the history of the codex in Europe and beyond, from its ‘birth’ in Late Antiquity to the establishment of the printers’ workshops in the mid-15th century. It will focus not only on pictorial and illuminated elements that have long been the art historians’ territory, but also on the visual organization of the page, the page openings and the entire manuscript, as well as the visual and iconic qualities of the script. In choosing this approach, it reflects (and reflects on) recent developments in manuscript studies and the results of interdisciplinary synergies that open up new ways of looking at the manuscript as a whole.
This lecture series will be given in English. For the written exam at the end of the term, students can choose between English and German.
