Description
English summary: This is the first book to provide a broad outline of the hitherto unknown history of the premodern text. Following the new approach of historical semantics, the contributions look at how the term textus was used during the Middle Ages. Drawing on a wide range of sources (hagiography, historiography, rural, urban and canon law, letters, patristic and theological writings, images, musical notation), they enable the various usages of textus to be appreciated within various fields of tradition and action. Both long-term continuities and changes in meaning are revealed. German description: Der alltagliche und wissenschaftliche Umlauf des Wortes Text ist begleitet von weitgehender Unkenntnis uber seine Sinn- und Gebrauchsgeschichte. Gilt heute nahezu jeder schriftliche sinntragende Gegenstand als Text, war dies noch vor wenigen Jahrzehnten deutlich, in der Vormoderne sogar radikal anders. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes liefern die erste breit gefacherte Historisierung der vormodernen Geschichte des Textes. Einzelstudien uber Verskunst, Hagiographie, Historiographie, Briefe, Kirchenrecht, Liturgie, Theologie, universitares Lehrschrifttum, mittelhochdeutsche Dichtungen, landliches und stadtisches Recht, Illustrationen, Malerei und Musiknotate beleuchten langfristige linguistische Profile, Momente des Wortgebrauchs und wichtige Neuerungen wie Wandlungen des Begriffs Text.
