Ebook: Buchkultur und Wissensvermittlung in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit

Knowledge structuring and knowledge transfer are closely linked to the materiality and mediality of the book. The articles in this volume examine the phenomena of radical changes in the media from handwriting to printing to digital media; the history of books and libraries through historical perspectives of society, culture and ideas; the relationship between text and knowledge structuring; and the semantics of the book. The volume also reveals the various complexities of combining book culture with epistemic practices.
