Composite and multiple-text manuscripts are traditionally studied for their individual
texts, but recent trends in codicology have paved the way for a more comprehensive
approach: manuscripts are unique artefacts which reveal how they were produced and
used as physical objects. While multiple-text manuscripts codicologically are to be
considered as production units, i.e. they were originally planned and realized in
order to carry more than one text, composites consist of formerly independent codicological
units and were put together at a later stage with intentions that might be completely
different from those of its original parts. Both sub-types of manuscripts are still
sometimes called "miscellanies", a term relating to the texts only. The codicological
difference is important for reconstructing why and how these manuscripts which in
many cases resemble (or contain) a small library were produced and used. Contributions
on the manuscript cultures of China, India, Africa, the Islamic world and European
traditions lead not only to the conclusion that "one-volume libraries" have been produced
in many manuscript cultures, but allow also for the identification of certain types
of uses
