Research Group Visit to Japan
Seminar, Workshop, Lectures, and Symposium
November and December 1992
In November and December 1992, 4 members of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence visited Japan at the invitation of our Japanese Associates, Professors Shuji Sato and Tadao Kubouchi. The visit included a Research Group Seminar, a Research Group Workshop, a Research Group Symposium, a Research Group Photographic Exhibition, and Lectures at various locations. The visit was organised with the help of very many members of the Japan Society for Medieval English Studies and others.
The lectures, seminar, and workshop considered in depth specific subjects surveyed in the symposium; demonstrated the approach of the Palaeographical and Textual Handbook; and examined themes, challenges, and advances in Anglo-Saxon manuscript studies. The photographic exhibition accompanied the seminar, workshop, and symposium.
