CALL FOR PAPERS: Texts and Contexts Conference, Center for Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies at the Ohio State University, 15-16 November 2013.
Texts and Contexts is an annual conference held on the campus of the Ohio State University devoted to Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, incunables and early printed texts in Latin and the vernacular languages. The conference solicits papers particularly in the general discipline of manuscript studies, including palaeography, codicology, reception and text history.
In addition to the general papers (of roughly 20 minutes), the conference also hosts the Virginia Brown Memorial Lecture, established in memory of the late Virginia Brown, who taught paleography at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies for some 40 years. We also welcome proposals for sessions of two to three papers which might treat a more focused topic.
Virginia Brown Memorial Lecture: Julia Haig Gaisser, Eugenia Chase Guild Professor Emeritus in the Humanities, Bryn Mawr.
Please send abstracts to Professor Frank Coulson, Director of Palaeography, 190 Pressey Hall, 1070 Carmack Road, Columbus, OH 43210 or to epig@osu.edu.
Deadline: 15 August 2013.
