SUMMARY:Workshop in the  History of  Material Texts
DESCRIPTION:On February 24\, 2025 at 5:15 PM\, Georgios Boudalis (Museum o
 f Byzantine Culture\, Greece) will present: “Books in Late Antiquity: Th
 eir Making\, Depiction\, and Interpretation.”\n\nThis presentation will 
 explore the codex book formats used in late antiquity\, focusing primarily
  on wax tablet codices and multi-quire codices\, as well as their depictio
 n in the art of the time. Through the analysis of iconographic and archaeo
 logical evidence\, we will examine the distinct characteristics of these c
 odices and consider how wax tablet codices may have influenced the develop
 ment of multi-quire codices. Lastly\, I will argue that the way books are 
 depicted and how we interpret these representations are influenced by our 
 knowledge of books—both contemporary and historical. A limited understan
 ding of how books were made and used can result in misinterpretations or o
 verinterpretations of these artistic depictions.
