Finnegans Wake supposedly took 17 years to write. Huge endeavor! With many of the words being neologisms, the collections of annotations could be as long as the text itself. No wonder it was published in serialized from.
Regarding Hornbooks, since they were used for the education of children, and had very nice handles, I suspect they found usage in many diverse, less than academic settings....
"as though the books had become trees again..." Wow.
Wow, this horn thing kind of looks like a more "modern" version of the "scrolls" that parts of the bible were written on or that Moses had. lol
