Looking at Medieval Books

Preface


What's in
front of you? What's its shape?



How big is
it?



The closed
book: what do you see first?

Opening the
book: what's it made of?



Membrane



Paper

Where's the
first leaf?


What does
the first leaf look like?



How come it
looks so neat?



How does
the scribe write?



What texts
does it contain?



How's it
been put together?



Are there
other discontinuities?



Where's it
been all this time?
