These meticulously curated collections of texts, meticulously arranged to reflect the immediate concerns and archival environments of the communities that created them, have now been recognized as multi-scribe manuscripts that underwent significant physical and textual growth over time. This book presents a groundbreaking methodology that explores the contributions of multiple scribes in two cartulary manuscripts: the oldest cartularies of Glasgow Cathedral and Lindores Abbey. By integrating the physical and textual aspects of these manuscripts, the book aims to analyze how and why these cartularies evolved in stages across centuries. This approach reveals two communities that actively engaged with their cartularies, treating them as shared spaces. This raises fundamental questions about the definition and function of cartularies, their relationship to archives of single-sheet documents, and their significance as sources of institutional identity. By examining these manuscripts through the lens of their materiality, the book offers a fresh perspective on the genre of medieval cartularies, shedding light on the medieval scribes and readers who created and utilized them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedieval cartularies, once perceived as mere archives of charters, have undergone a remarkable transformation in scholarly understanding.
