Learning outcomes
|
Students get familiar with the bases of the history of manuscripts and printed books. Later they are acquainted with the history of libraries in the Czech lands and in central and western Europe in the period of Middle Ages and Modern Times. They also learn terminology and main principles of description of manuscripts and old prints. Students also have a chance to see the functioning of special institutions maintaining historical book collections.
Students will gain a basic understanding of codicology and library science. They will learn cataloguing rules for the professional processing of manuscripts, incunabula, and old prints. They will learn how to search for manuscripts and prints in the catalogs of libraries around the world. They will gain a basic overview of other social science disciplines that deal with the history of books (cultural history, media history, social history of reading, etc.).
