Liv Ingeborg Lied and Brent Nongbri. Working with Manuscripts: A Guide for Textual Scholars. Yale University Press, 2025.The previous AJR review is noted here with links.... Working with Manuscripts is a fundamentally practical companion, in both form and content. The volume addresses a range of issues, including the basic terminology of manuscript study, expectations for working in repositories, and the ethical and legal considerations surrounding the publication of ancient documents. For early-stage graduate students, in particular, and for those who teach and mentor them, the volume offers a clear point of entry into a set of skills that is becoming increasingly essential, especially in an age of expanding digitization and access.
