Scribal Habits in Near Eastern Manuscript Traditions, edited by Sabine Schmidtke, Professor in the School of Historical Studies, and George Kiraz past Member and current Research Associate in the School of Historical Studies, has been published by Gorgias Press in January 2021:
"This volume brings together contributions by scholars focussing on peritextual elements as found in Middle Eastern manuscripts: dots and various other symbols that mark vowels, intonation, readings aids, and other textual markers; marginal notes and sigla that provide additional explanatory content akin to but substantially different from our modern notes and endnotes; images and illustrations that present additional material not found in the main text. These elements add additional layers to the main body of the text and are crucial for our understanding of the text’s transmission history as well as scribal habits."
