Sažetak
Recent work on Renaissance reading practices has emphasized the importance and prevalence of excerpting sententiae, precepts, examples, and quotable passages from a vast array of texts with a view of systematically organizing them and making them available for reuse and manipulation in new contexts. From Ferrex and Porrex onwards, printed editions of early English drama join the multitude of books that occasionally signal the presence of such textual material through pointing devices in the margins. This paper discusses the meaning of such pointing in the first and second quarto editions of Hamlet in order to challenge the current understanding of the function it performs in relation to the play as well as to the history of Renaissance reading. Special attention is paid to the tension that existed in the period between isolating commonplaces and considering them in context.
