Zusammenfassung:The meanings of books and book collections are inscribed in their trajectories, their material forms, and the ways owners and users interacted with them. To shed light on these rarely addressed aspects of book culture, this article examines the tangible dimensions of Jewish book collections in medieval Ashkenaz.
