The production and retention of written records was a common and important facet of pre-modern rulership and administration.

Description
How does one define and explore the "material presence of the written in non-typographical cultures?" The interdisciplinary and collaborative essays in this handbook present theoretical principles, describe text-bearing materials and objects, and investigate the diverse practices related to text-bearing artifacts. The analysis is illustrated with examples drawn from a period of over 4,500 years.
