  The Uses of literacy in early mediaeval Europe

  edited by Rosamond McKitterick.

  Summary: This book investigates the ways in which literacy was important in early mediaeval Europe, and examines the context of literacy, its uses, levels, and distribution, in a number of different early mediaeval societies between c. 400 and c. 1000. The studies, by leading scholars in the field, set out to provide the factual basis from which assessments of the significance of literacy in the early mediaeval world can be made, as well as analysing the significance of literacy, its implications, and its consequences for the societies in which we observe it. In all cases, the studies represent recent research and bring evidence such as the recent archaeological discoveries at San Vincenzo al Volturno to the subject. They provide fascinating insight into the attitudes of early mediaeval societies towards the written word and the degree to which these attitudes were formed. This period is shown as fundamental for the subsequent uses of literacy in mediaeval and modern Europe. Nielsen

  A reappraisal is attempted of the various forms of immunopathologically-mediated bullous disorders: pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid groups; herpes gestationis; and dermatitis herpetiformis. Particular regard is paid to recent developments in the field of immunopathology of the skin. The elaboration of delicate immunological parameters at the same time illustrates the usefulness of laboratory research and the application of these results to clinical dermatology.
