Zerstörung von Geschriebenem Historische und transkulturelle Perspektiven

Inscribed artifacts are exposed to a range of practices that damage them. These practices vary dramatically across historical periods and cultural contexts. This book studies a number of representative examples spanning ancient, medieval, and modern times. The analysis identifies features of these different practices and the motivations behind them, developing a comprehensive system of interpretation.
