- Summary:
- This volume, the first in the new series 'Transcultural Medieval Studies', draws together scholars from around the world to offer new insights into the importance and role of the Bible across the varied cultures of medieval Europe. The papers gathered here take a comparative and multidisciplinary approach to the subject, focusing on the biblical background of perceptions of the religious and cultural ?Self ? and ?Other? in the Mediterranean, in Latin Europe, and in the Baltic. In doing so, the contributions identify commonalities and differences of the ?uses of the Bible? in these various worlds, combining and contrasting studies on Bible manuscripts, their exegesis, and their use for historical writing.
