CRS is pleased to announce a virtual roundtable discussion on the present and future of manuscript studies.
As one of the pillars of the study of the medieval past, disciplines such as paleography and codicology will play a significant role in shaping the future of medieval studies, especially in an age of increasing digitization and calls for more accessibility. This conversation will respond to a talk by Ralph Hanna, “Adventures in Libraries: Thoughts on Epistemology,” in which he reflects on the lessons learned from his career studying medieval manuscripts and the stories of those who made, used, and collected them. This roundtable will continue this conversation; panelists will share their own adventures in libraries and consider the paths ahead for the next generations of manuscript scholars.
This event is free and open to the public, but registration in advance is required.
