If we consider commentary as a historical practice and a quotable gesture in this way, not only the operativity of the (very tangible) commentary on the page could come into view, but also the ways in which its operational core is used in a multiplicity of polemic, subversive, or creative ways that extend from a very personal dispute to questions of status and even\u2014in a broad sense\u2014to premodern forms of textual politics.”<\/p>Lechtermann and Stock, 2020, pg. 4.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to Christina Lechtermann<\/a> and Markus Stock<\/a> on the publication of their volume, “Practices of Commentary,” published in the Zeitspr\u00fcnge<\/em> series. This book arose out of a conference held at the Goethe Universit\u00e4t Frankfurt am Main, in December 2018, as part of a working group on Commentarial Practices at the Jackman Humanities Institute in Toronto<\/a>. At this conference, scholars from both the University of Toronto and the Goethe University convened to consider the boundaries of commentary. The introductory chapter of this volume (by Christina Lechtermann and Markus Stock) presents a number of questions about the nature of commentary and leads into a series of premodern case studies in the fields of Arabic, English, German, Jewish, Latin, and Romance studies. Read the text in full below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
