Ego ligavi hunc librum: Ligatures, Dates and Names

Abstract

Within those manuscripts that are generally referred to as dated, since they contain one or more explicit indications of their production – the date of transcription, the place of copying, the name of the copyist or, more rarely, of the illuminator – there is a small but not insignificant corpus of codices in which the bookbinder leaves a trace of his name or a date, and which are worth investigating, first of all with regard to their content and structural peculiarities, as well as their provenance.
