Manuscripts have been used for religious, artistic, and scientific performances throughout history, and this practice continues today. This volume explores the role of manuscripts in these performances, examining how they are used backstage, onstage, and by performers. The diverse and innovative methodologies of the included papers have the potential to expand the traditional approaches of manuscript studies and find application outside the contributors' respective fields.

Throughout history, manuscripts have been crafted and utilized for a multitude of purposes, including religious, artistic, and scientific performances. This tradition remains prevalent in many cultures today. By examining the significance of manuscripts in various performances, this volume contributes to the growing field of studying written artifacts and their roles. The collected essays perceive manuscripts as focal points where textual, material, and performative elements converge. The contributors analyze manuscripts in their various forms and functions, as well as their positioning within the performances for which they were created. These aspects are explored across the three sections of the volume, shedding light on how manuscripts are (1) utilized backstage, for preparing and providing instructions for performances; (2) brought onstage, contributing to the actualization of performances; and (3) performers in their own right, exerting an impact on the audience. The diverse, interdisciplinary, and innovative methodologies employed in the included papers possess immense potential to broaden the traditional approaches of manuscript studies and find applications beyond the contributors' respective fields.
