Samenvatting
This richly illustrated volume focuses on the external form and production of codices, charters, registers, account books, and other types of manuscripts. It does not limit itself to the traditional historical auxiliary sciences of codicology, palaeography and diplomatics, but also pays special attention to the points of view of art historians, librarians, and archivists.
