Thursday, 25 April 2024, marked the end of a series of workshops on the origins of the manuscript book and writing offered to students as part of the BEYOND LANGUAGE course.

Writing itself, and even more so the written and printed book, are groundbreaking, albeit relatively ‘new’ inventions in the history of cultural and linguistic development.
