Publications and Co-Publications
by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence
[Originally published on our first website on 19 April 2006, with updates there and here]
The Research Group promotes a principled, unified approach to its publications, for clarity of comprehension and for the matching of form and content to function and audience. The Publications Committee plans, guides, and directs the publications of the Research Group in accordance with its mission as a corporation and its obligations as a nonprofit educational organization.
Aiming to present as much of the evidence as possible, set in its widest context, the Research Group illustrates its publications with reproductions of the materials under discussion. We encourage readers to examine and compare them against the commentary, to judge the assessments and offer their own refinements. The Research Group offers all observers access to fuller understanding of the materials themselves, without requiring or expecting them to become specialists in all aspects which the diverse evidence encompasses. By bringing the evidence to wider attention, our publications and other activities can foster future research. This aspect of our work keeps in view the importance of preparing for a worthwhile future, by all means.
Publications by and jointly by the Research Group include announcements of its mission and activities, exhibition catalogues, reports of discoveries, and a major catalogue. This Illustrated Catalogue incorporates the results of long-term research at Corpus Christi College and reproduces more than 765 photographs of the manuscripts, mostly full-page and newly made for the publication. The publication on our website and/or in print of the Abstracts of Papers and Responses for our Conference Sessions and for some of our Symposia, Colloquia, Workshops, and Seminars manifest our dedication to promoting the work of scholars, including younger scholars, in the progress of preparing their research for presentation to the wider world, both in our events and beyond.
Publications in preparation in various forms include studies, both individual and collaborative, on aspects of written and other forms of evidence, as well as its context.

“Three lectures, presented before the University of Cambridge, that examine Matthew Parker as a noted collector of books, an avid annotator, and a keen student of Old English. In the lectures Dr. Page assesses the evidence for Parker’s use of his manuscripts and printed books by drawing upon varied sources, including Parker’s very numerous annotations upon their pages, and surveys the archbishop’s role in the early-modern rediscovery and recovery of Old English and other medieval sources. Plates accompany the text to illustrate many characteristic aspects of Parker’s interventions in his books.” (Medieval Institute Publications)
