This publication is the result of the congress 'Sakrale Schrifträume' (17 November – 18 November 2016) and the workshop 'Reliquie, (In-)Schrift, Raum' (18 May – 19 May 2017), both devised and organized by Tobias Frese, Wilfried E. Keil and Kristina Krüger of the subproject A05 ('Schrift und Schriftzeichen am und im mittelalterlichen Kunstwerk') of the Collaborative Research Centre 933 'Material Text Cultures' at Heidelberg University and carried out at the Institute for European Art History in Heidelberg.
Thirteen papers on different subjects, focussing on writings and inscriptions in medieval art, explore the faculty of writing to create and determine spaces and to generate the sacred by the display of holy scripture. The subjects range from book illumination over wall painting, mosaics, sculpture, and church interiors to inscriptions on portals and façades.
