Review Quotes




"Par une analyse essentiellement codicologique des manuscrits, N. D. propose un nouvel éclairage sur la postérité d'une oeuvre géographique qui met l'accent sur la continuité culturelle d'un monde islamique fragmenté, audelà des bouleversements politiques et dynastique...Nadja Danilenko nous propose ainsi une plongée passionnante dans l'histoire des manuscrits islamiques en arabe, persan et turc du Livre des Routes et des Royaumes. L'attention portée au texte et aux cartes, mais aussi à la matérialité desmanuscrits (reliure, marques de possession, sceaux, notes marginales), en fait un bel exemple d'étude codicologique menée sur plus de mille ans d'histoire."
