Book as Symbolic Form Abstract Melot analyzes the virtues that distinguish the book from the screen; it tries to understand the symbolic characteristics of the printed book, their differences with the roll and the codex, and he makes us think about the long transformation that our beliefs have undergone, not only in relation with the printed objects but also with respect to time, space, bodies and truth.
