28th International Congress on Medieval Studies

6‒9 May, 1993

[First published on our first website on *19 April 2006, with updates]

At the 1993 Congress, for the first time, the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence appeared officially on the program, as it sponsored one Session and provided a Photographic Exhibition. A report of its contributions was offered in another session as well, with a publication of its text and some illustrations.

At some earlier Congresses, at first Mildred Budny (1985–1987 and 1989–1992) and, then, also Timothy Graham (1992) presented papers.  The Abstracts of some of those papers are reported in the Old English Newsletter.

This Congress marked the first year of our sponsored Sessions at the International Congress on Medieval Studies held by the Medieval Institute of Western Michigan University.  Various of our Associates also participated in this and other Sessions at the Congress.

The official Congress Archive of the Medieval Institute reproduces the individual Congress Program Booklets (plus their “Corrigenda” as presented at the Congress).  The 1993 Congress began a partly interrupted Series of Congresses at which the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence participated.  Our own Congress Archive records the stages of this Series, plus its “Prequel” in earlier Congresses.
