Following Genette's understanding of paratext, this volume explores the question of how to deal editorially with those elements that are connected to the text or work to be edited but do not constitute its actual text type. This includes, for example, epilogues, advertising texts, typography, but also letters, diaries, notes, or material components of the work as a medial form of appearance.
