Reading aloud: Between Oral and Literate Communication
This essay investigates the early modern practice of reading aloud as it applies to popular religious books published in 18th century Croatia. The writers of these books aimed to use all possible channels of interaction to convey Christian teachings, irrespective of whether they rested on oral or literary communication. In the prefaces of their books, particularly in books of sermons, it was even stated explicitly that the way the lesson is learned may be irrelevant ; what matters is that every single believer comprehends its substance and importance. Consequently, it was not required that all members of some community should know how to read ; the majority could be exposed to the teachings by listening to a person reading aloud. Literacy sufficient for appropriating the contents of a book was usually restricted to a single member of a family or other small community. The literate commoner, originally the intended consumer of a book, thus became the mediator, by virtue of his ability to read.
