That the material form of the Black Books is inextricably tied to their application and meaning is a foundational premise of the study. Chapter 3 examines the production technologies of format, binding and textual style as an exterior ‘reading’. While the descriptive enquiry answers the simple question of what characterises the Black Books, the analysis sheds light on why these material features appear as they do and what caused their application. The close focus on material features shows that format, binding and textual style not only make the Black Books books in their own right but also that they contribute to the presentation of the knowledge contained as authorisation strategies to secure its reception.
