Regionalisme et Internationalisme

With its 27 contributions the volume presents the greatest part of the papers delivered on the occasion of the XV Colloque du Comite International de Paleographie "Regionalisme et internationalisme: Problemes de paleographie et de codicologie du moyen age" (Vienna, September 13 - 17, 2005). The authors analyse in the scope of the topic of the conference the regional and supraregional impact on the development of latin script from the late antiquity and early medieval period up to the beginning of the modern times. The geographic area considered in the articles spans from the Iberian peninsula to Central Europpe and Iceland. In their contributions the authors try to show the influence of local conditionning factors and currences emanating of cultural and intellectual European Centers on the development of script in the geographic regions taken in consideration. The contributions dedicated to book illumination follow an analogous method. One article deals with special local carolingian binding techniques, another one gives a general survey of the local and supraregional impacts in the epigraphic domain.
