			== The Digital Page ==

			"Although the digitally encoded page may imitate the look and behaviour of coun- terparts in parchment and paper, it has its own distinct materiality." (62)

			* multiple pages can be shown together
			* borders of page might not match botders of hardware, causing user to scroll
			* software can support different relationships between pages than a codex

	"The page is an expressive space for text, space, and image; it is a cultural artefact; it is a technological device. But it is also all of these at once." (18)		"The page is an expressive space for text, space, and image; it is a cultural artefact; it is a technological device. But it is also all of these at once." (18)

			== Reading the Page ==

			Example of Controversia challenges notion that Humanistic hand was only associated with Latin literature; not the case in its early days

			In France, was recoded as courtly didactic literature

			"The page thus shapes the reception of the text by suggesting a tradition in which it belongs and a context in which it should be read. Designers encode an identity into their pages of the Controversia, and the treatise cannot be read without the simultaneous communication of this proposal. Transmit- ted in each copy of the Controversia is therefore not only the story of the treatise, but a story about its visualization, production, circulation, and preservation." (33)
