“Anathema!: Medieval Scribes and the History of Book Curses” by Marc Drogin

"Mixed with humor and wit, this book tells a history of the manuscript, its role in medieval society, and of the life of those responsible for their creation, most often scribes in monasteries. From there, the author describes the nature of book curses and why the scribe, after carefully spending months or years on a single manuscript, would take the time to lay upon the book they had just completed. A unique history of the book, lovingly and hilariously told."
