All this has been well-known for at least a century and is critically re-examined at regular intervals, depending on the tide of intellectual vogues. There is, however, one field of enquiry, which has only received the full attention it deserves in recent years, namely, the study of written artefacts. Written artefacts are 'natural or artificial objects with visual signs applied by humans', 3 including manuscripts and inscriptions from the first clay tablets to contemporary graffiti. While this definition emphasises the fact that written artefacts are material objects containing writing and other content, the disciplines studying them traditionally single out certain aspects. Philologists and historians, including epigraphers, have almost exclusively been interested in texts, the rare species of experts in 'auxiliary sciences', such as diplomacy, palaeography and codicology, were, by definition, relegated to the second rank, art historians were concerned with images, musicologists with musical notation, and so forth. Not only did disciplinary boundaries hamper a better understanding of written artefacts, but also a lack of knowledge about Asian, African, and American cultures and their traditions of scholarship. The last two decades have seen great advances regarding the codex cultures, 4 but moving further away from the Mediterranean and the Near East, scholarship has just begun. The following statement of the late Johan Peter Gumbert (1936-2016) concerning the need for comparison may just as well be applied to the study of written artefacts in general: Regional codicologies are needed for the understanding of the culture's own book; but it is comparative codicology that does not only help us to understand the books for our neighbours, but also to understand our own books better -because we see what is different; we learn that things we thought self-evident were not so; we learn to ask questions that we never asked before, and we ... |
