Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The practice of writing for third parties, often done on commission and/or for profit (pro pretio ), remains a largely neglected aspect of late medieval manuscript culture. Although professional scribes and book artisans played a central role in the production and circulation of manuscripts, evidence of their economic activities is sparse and fragmented, leaving our understanding of the financial aspects of manuscript production, whether in secular or religious settings, still limited. As a result, it is challenging to assess the value of handwritten books, estimate the costs of their creation, or trace the financial exchanges they entailed. Likewise, knowledge about the individuals - both men and women - or workshops engaged in the professional manuscript production and trade during the late Middle Ages remains elusive.
