Leuven Database of Ancient Books: an overview

The charts below were created by Yanne Broux in April 2017 on the basis of the data that was available in the LDAB database at the time. Below the charts, you can find the links to download the csv files that were used to create the charts. An extra graph regarding the bookform is provided below the overview. This second graph shows the relative popularity of the different bookform types (as opposed to the raw numbers given in the Tableau overview). These two charts will be published in M. Letteney, The Christianization of Knowledge in Late Antiquity, Cambridge University Press (forthcoming 2023).
