*Texts and Contexts: A Manuscript Conference at The Ohio State University

*November 6-7, 2009

Sponsored by the Center for Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies


The conference seeks to investigate the textual traditions of various
texts and genres, including texts in classical Latin, mediaeval
Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Middle English, and the vernaculars. Preference
will be given to those abstracts which deal with newly discovered
texts and their manuscript settings, or which present new
perspectives on established textual traditions. We encourage graduate
students and newly established scholars to submit their work.

Plenary speaker: Scott Gwara, University of South Carolina,
/America's Orphan Manuscripts/.

Memorial session for Joseph Lynch with guest speakers, Roger
Reynolds, Barbara Hanawalt, and James Bennett.

Deadline for submission: August 15, 2009
