History
Until the invention of printing, manuscripts were the only form of written publication - in a narrower sense understood as including only with ink and similar colors on papyrus, parchment, or paper placed works and not, for example, clay tablets or carved in stone inscriptions. The poetry of the Middle Ages, written on parchment and paper is so delivered exclusively by hand.
Texts of the Middle Ages are often preserved in manuscript collections; obviously the show has a typical form of existence of a " work" as we know it today, does not yet exist on the individual book. The Code was a material storage and jewelry form addition of multiple written words. At times it was probably also the desire of the owners of such codices, material, or "knowledge" to a particular article or topic ( eg courtly knight literature) to have as complete as possible. A well-known example is the Ambras Book of Heroes from the beginning of the 16th century. An example from the mid-14th century is the code SBB -PK, Ms. germ quart. 284, are gathered in the texts from the field of Tristan complex. The book Science and the codicology explore the various conceptual or accidental conditioning principles of mixed manuscripts and manuscript collections.
Standard manuscripts

A standard manuscript page for example has 30 lines with 60 characters per line ( including spaces ) and should use 1.5 times or double line spacing and a 12 -point font. A program written according to these specifications manuscript contains about 1800 characters per page, which varies depending on the font type.
These strict formal requirements for typescripts are gradually replaced by detailing the number of characters and prepared electronic format templates for authors.
