The Skeptic

[Published on 23 September 2014, with updates]

With the completion of the Call for Papers and the reception of proposals for papers by 15 September 2014, the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence plans its 5 sponsored and co-sponsored sessions for the next Congress.   Their programs now settle into place for notification to the Congress by the deadline of 1 October.  Following that process, we will be able to announce the programs and, in time, publish abstracts of papers as their authors might wish.

The next Congress will be the tenth year of our co-sponsorship with the Societas Magica and the second year of co-sponsorship with the Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Florida.  Our 2014 sessions with these organizations are reported and illustrated in our 2014 Congress Report.  This is the first year of co-sponsorship for the Reception also with the Index of Christian Art at Princeton University.
