The journal Almagest transitioned from an International Journal for the History of Scientific Ideas into a Journal for the Transnational History of Technoscience. The shift signifies that the journal will place a new emphasis on the rich histories of not just scientific ideas but also of experiments, people, objects, images, devices, instruments, and epistemic ‘things’ as they cross multiple national and/or institutional boundaries. This change is intended to reflect a prolific disciplinary (dis)order, in which science is seen as deeply entangled with technology, diplomacy as strongly related to science, and knowledge as inherently political.

La production culturelle médiévale ne peut se concevoir sans prendre en compte le livre manuscrit sous toutes ses formes. Abandonnant les scriptoria monastiques, puis les « bibliothèques » cathédrales (et de facto, son état de privilège d’hommes d’Église), le livre s’est très vite immiscé dans la cité avec l’avènement des grands centres universitaires et de leurs collèges associés, l’essor considérable des ateliers laïcs à partir du système de la pecia. Autour de lui se sont alors développés des métiers innovants, où l’enlumineur s’est forgé une place de premier choix, symbolisant toute l’importance de l’image dans la société médiévale. Du simple lecteur au « collectionneur » averti, le livre manuscrit s’est ainsi constitué un nouveau public, plus large, et de la Bible moralisée au Livre d’heures (bestseller de la piété individuelle), l’objet culturel s’est parfois transformé en objet marchand, pénétrant les imposantes « librairies » des nouveaux princes et seigneurs bibliophiles. Pecia – Le livre et l’écrit – entend promouvoir les études de bibliologie par la publication de contributions dédiées à l’histoire du livre manuscrit au Moyen Âge. Chaque volume est articulé autour d’un thème central.
