The final volume in the series synthesizes the research conducted by the Heidelberg Collaborative Research Center 933 (SFB 933). Systematized into six topic areas (reflecting on writing, layout and text/image, memory and the archive, material transformation, sanctification, and rule and administration), the CRC scholars summarize the knowledge gained from 12 years of interdisciplinary work into 35 theses on a theory of material text cultures.
