Two case studies from the Holy Roman Empire Bruch, Julia Transmission of Knowledge Craftsmen Manuscript Studies bic Book Industry Communication::J Society & social sciences::JH Sociology & anthropology::JHB Sociology In medieval and early modern crafts, useful knowledge was taught in the workshops. There, innovation took place. Craftsmen exchanged knowledge on journeys or through voluntary and forced migration. This system of knowledge transfer does not need writing, although craftsmen used writing both in the workshop and in the administration of the guilds and the towns. However, transmission of knowledge remained oral. This contrasts with countless craftsmen's manuscripts that conveyed technical knowledge about crafts in text and images. This essay argues that these manuals were equally crucial for the transmission of useful knowledge between master craftsmen as well as the sale of products to clients. A book on plate harnesses and one on bell and gun casting are introduced as examples. 2023-08-03T15:02:30Z 2023-08-03T15:02:30Z 2023 chapter ONIX_20230803_9791221500929_14 9791221500929 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/74818 eng Datini Studies in Economic History application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 9791221500929-05.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/979-12-215-0092-9_5 Firenze University Press L’economia della conoscenza: innovazione, produttività e crescita economica nei secoli XIII-XVIII / The knowledge economy: innovation, productivity and economic growth, 13th to 18th century 10.36253/979-12-215-0092-9.05 10.36253/979-12-215-0092-9.05 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9f9bbbdd-c500-4575-9865-db2693689bc1 9791221500929 3 24 Florence open access |
