Notes in the books are tangible artifacts that shed light on readers’ social life, family history, professional activities, political beliefs or religious rituals. It has been suggested to analyze reading in terms of the production, distribution and consumption of books. Marginalia or notes in the margins of a book best reveal the result of a reading, enabling to make assumptions about a specific reader, their aspirations, the intensity of reading and text interpretation.
