"The Journal «Scripta. An International Journal of Palaeography and
Codicology» presents a concept of palaeography inspired by Malloni's
idea of a 'total' science of written culture, and thus offers a
meeting-place for comparing various experiences in scientific research
of various origins and schools of thought. It is well-known that
palaeographyand codicologyhavebeen recently shown to be a focal point
for methodological considerations in the humanities, providing
important contributions to the study of the tradition of literary and
documentary texts in the ancientand medieval world. Therefore the
Journal will welcome studies of any type of text in a wide linguistic
panorama that bring together the Greek and Latin, medieval vernacular,
and the Arab, Armenian, Coptic, Egyptian, Georgian, Jewish, Persian
and Slavic worlds, stimulating reflection on the sundry historical
traditions that form the foundation of our contemporary world.
In an international perspective rich in important editorial ven-
tures, the journal will be especially devoted to the history of writ-
ten manuscripts in European and Mediterranean civilization, with-
out limitation as to chronology, type (book-related, documen-
tary,epigraphic, public, private), support and writing techniques.
From this point of view,the historyof the book considered as the
archaeology of an artefact will play a fundamental role, explor-
ing the means of production and enjoyment as well as the circu-
lation of texts. The Journal seeks to investigate every aspect of
writing, including the realm of public and private libraries, schools,
the care and restoration of books, and the training and social role
of writers.
In addition to hosting essays on the aforementioned themes,
«Scripta» welcomes articles exploring topics regarding the his-
tory of studies and methods of palaeographic and codicological
research, and will review publications in this sector considered
relevant due to their structure and results."
