A text is a text, whether handwritten or printed. Manuscripts and works gathered here — each carries its medium and points to its record.
The People of the Book is known by its texts: illuminated manuscripts, treatises, registers, works of scholarship or poetry, copied and recopied across the centuries. The Great Books of texts bring together this corpus — authors, datings, languages of origin and places of conservation. Each notice opens a window onto the thought, the faith and the daily life of those who wrote them.
