| Long abstract | The epigraph for this miniature manifesto is a line that a friend and I remembered as hers. It turned out that that attribution was only part true, since it is also something that Derrida said of HélèneCixous when they committed her work to the National Library of France: The door is barred but please come in.1I hope medieval studies will conceptualize intention when writing about medieval manuscript culture. I don’t mean the intentions of medieval authors, but intentionsthat could seem just as objectionable: those of the medie-val people who used manuscripts. By manuscript culture, I refer not only to the reading and writing activities of multiple scribes and readers, but also to other uses of manuscripts, some of which today seem anti-intellectual for a variety of reasons, including purposeful destructionfor use in binding, the extraction of leaves for sale or dec-orative use, and even the use of manuscript material as talismans. |
