The Order of Knowledge and Biographical Writing. Calculated Handwriting in Printed Books of the Early Modern Period (16th and 17th Century) (B13*)

该项目调查了早期现代书籍中个人手写和印刷文本之间的相互作用，这些书籍呈现了客观的知识秩序，并通过其特定的布局和插入的空白页或空格来预测手写干预。它侧重于传记类型，如日历日记和alba amicorum，并研究了这些书的特殊材料，这些书由手写，印刷文本和图像组合而成。这也影响了他们的社会背景，这决定了文本生产和接受的某些动态。因此，它揭示了早期现代传记写作的模式和条件。

The project investigates the interaction between individual handwriting and the printed text in books of the early modern period which present an objective order of knowledge and anticipate handwritten interventions, supported by their specific layout and inserted blank pages or spaces. It focusses on biographic genres such as calendric diaries and alba amicorum and examines the particular materiality of those books as created by the combination of handwriting, the printed text, and images. It also factors in their social contexts, which determine certain dynamics of text production and reception. Thus, it sheds light on modes and conditions of early modern biographical writing.
