Relic Labels. Materiality and Presence in a Neglected Type of Early and High Medieval Writing Practice (A08)

该项目将自己视为一个关于中世纪早期和晚期的文字和文化史的基础研究项目，这是一个直到现在才被调查的主题。通过对单个幸存的例子和人工制品的排列方式的分析，随着时间的推移，该项目寻求通过历时性和历时性的比较，来描述文物标签的材料、格式、协议、认证、来源和交换的发展。进一步的目标是发展中世纪早期文物标签的物质性和行为学的文化史。此外，我们希望提供对写作和语言学的历史的基本见解。

The project sees itself as a fundamental research project about early and high medieval written and cultural history – a topic that has not been investigated until now. From the analysis of individual surviving examples and artefact arrangements that have evolved over time, the project seeks, through diatopic and diachronic comparison, to characterize the development of the material, format, protocol, certification, provenance and exchange of relic labels. A further goal is to develop a cultural history of the materiality and the praxeology of relic labels in the early Middle Ages. In addition, we expect to offer basic insights into the history of writing and linguistics.
