This selection of papers by scholarly specialists offers an introduction to the history of the book and book culture in West Asia and North Africa from antiquity to the 20th century. The flourishing and long-lived manuscript tradition is discussed in its various aspects - social and economic as well as technical and aesthetic. The very early but abortive introduction of printing - long before Gutenberg - and the eventual, belated acceptance of the printed book and the development of print culture are explored in further groups of papers. Cultural, aesthetic, technological, religious, social, political and economic factors are all considered throughout the volume. Although the articles reflect the predominance in the area of Muslim books - Arabic, Persian and Turkish - the Hebrew, Syriac and Armenian contributions are also discussed. The editor’s introduction provides a survey of the field from the origins of writing to the modern literary and intellectual revivals.

The cultural, aesthetic, technological, religious, social, political and economic factors of the historical developments are considered throughout, and the articles discuss not only the Arabic, Persian and Turkish books of the Muslim tradition, but also the Hebrew, Syriac and Armenian contributions.

Arvustused

Il volume di cui parliamo e sicuramente uno dei piu utili prodotti su tale argomento. Geoffrey Roper ha infatti curato, dopo la sua introduzione, una raccolta di 27 articoli sul tema, arricchito di un indice dei nomi finale. Un indice che giunge a soccorso per la ricerca di riferimenti, storia etc. sparsi in studi gia editi, anche se spesso in sedi disparate e non di immediato accesso, che quanto mai utilmente sono qui raccolti in ununica sede ... Si tratta quindi di una preziosa antologia, ma allo stesso tempo di una precisa affermazione dellimportanza di questo settore di studi, accanto allo studio della correlate tradizione manoscritta, e della necessita di proseguire in queste direzioni. Oriente Moderno [ 'The volume under review is certainly one of the most useful ever published on this subject. In fact, after his introduction, Geoffrey Roper has edited a collection of 27 articles on the topic, enriched with a final index of names. An index which comes to the rescue of any scholar searching for references, history etc. which are all scattered in previously published studies but often in disparate locations and not immediately accessible, but are here very usefully all gathered in one place ... It is therefore a very valuable anthology, but at the same time a precise statement of the importance of this field of study, in addition to the study of the correlated tradition of manuscripts, and the need to continue in this direction.] Oriente Moderno
