Reading and Shaping Medieval Cartularies - Multi-Scribe Manu
Reading and Shaping Medieval Cartularies - Multi-Scribe Manu
This book offers a new methodology which engages with multi-scribe contributions in two cartulary manuscripts: the oldest cartularies of Glasgow Cathedral and Lindores Abbey. It integrates the physical and textual features of the manuscripts in order to analyse how and why they grew in stages across time. Applying this methodology reveals two communities that took an active approach to reading and shaping their cartularies, treating these manuscripts as a shared space. This raises fundamental questions about the definition of cartularies and how they functioned, their relationship to archives of single-sheet documents, and as sources for institutional identity. It therefore takes a fresh look at the "genre" of medieval cartularies through the eyes of the manuscripts themselves, and what this can reveal about their medieval scribes and readers.
