One-volume libraries : composite and multiple-text manuscripts
Composite and multiple-text manuscripts are traditionally studied for their individual texts, but recent trends in codicology have paved the way for a more comprehensive approach: Manuscripts are unique artefacts which reveal how they were produced and used as physical objects. While multiple-text manuscripts codicologically are to be considered as production units, i.e. they were originally pl…

The emergence of multiple-text manuscripts
The universal practice of selecting and excerpting, summarizing and canonizing, arranging and organizing texts and visual signs, either in carefully dedicated types of manuscripts or not, is common to all manuscript cultures. Determined by intellectual or practical needs, this process is never neutral in itself. The resulting proximity and juxtaposition of previously distant contents, challenge…

Tracing manuscripts in time and space through paratexts
As records of the link between a manuscript and the texts it contains, paratexts document many aspects of a manuscript’s life: production, transmission, usage, and reception. Comprehensive studies of paratexts are still rare in the field of manuscript studies, and the universal categories of time and space are used to create a common frame for research and comparisons. Contributions in this v…

Advances in semantic authoring and publishing
Dissemination can be seen as a communication process between sci-entists. Over the course of several publications, they expose andsupport their findings, while discussing claims stated in these publi-cations. Unfortunately, such discourse structures are trapped withinthe content of the publications, thus making the semantics discover-able only by humans, and only by reading the publications. I…
