Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to pose questions about the relation between printed and manuscript texts and their setting, time, geography and more broadly with their transmission and the dominant cultures. All this in relation to small languages within the historical period running from the 14th to 21st centuries. The aim of this extensive study is not so much exhaustive, but seeks rather to point to the different literary and linguistic fields, to make it possible to venture beyond the conventions that govern the history of states. These texts are changeable and translatable, migrating to neighbouring geographies and even more distant language areas. The texts originally written in other languages are short, and in many cases translated into invisible languages to return looking different, as if loaded with spices, filled with promises to assure their fragile durability.
