Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

The manuscript Ms. Oc. is described as a 'compilation of religious texts' (p. 21) and a 'text-object' found during excavations in Ocaa (p. 18). It is part of an 'assemblage' of materials from that site (p. 18).

Evidence

"Adopting an archaeological approach to Morisco manuscripts can yield insightful data and complicate the study of the codices as texts, with a careful examination of their materiality as objects."

Remarks

The paper material is analyzed as a 'text-object' within the broader network of manuscript culture (p. 18). The study emphasizes the 'materiality' of the codex as an 'artefact' (p. 18). It is noted that the author of the manuscript is anonymous and the context must be deduced from the text and its physical 'fabric' (p. 21).
