Die Geschichtlichkeit des Briefs: Kontinuität und Wandel einer Kommunikationsform

Open Access

There are few features that characterize the letter, and yet they have contributed to the successful history of this communication form for more than 3000 years: writtenness, materiality, mobility, address, the necessity of transmittal, and the fact that they can be dated and stored. These contributions take different disciplinary perspectives in order to sound out the universal features of letter communication in specific historical conditions.
