This volume contains selected papers from the international conference Manuscripts and Texts, Languages and Contexts, which was held at the University of Hamburg in July 2014.

Texts and their contents but also material aspects of the manuscript witnesses as well as their broader historical context were taken into consideration.§The volume contains a detailed index of persons, titles, places, and languages that facilitates access to the contents.
