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.

A Set of Events, with Lectures and a Seminar, Workshop, and Symposium, took place at several centers in Japan in November and December 1992.

They formed an extension of the Research Group Series on “The Evidence of Manuscripts” (1989–1995)
held mostly at the Parker Library, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge

The previous seminar in the Series considered

“Research on Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts in Cambridge and Oxford”
(with a Travelling Exhibition of Photographs)
Pembroke College, Oxford, 20 June 1992)

I. Receptions at the Congress
to Celebrate the Co-Publication of
Insular, Anglo-Saxon, and Early Anglo-Norman Manuscript Art
At Corpus Christi College, Cambridge

In this year, the two-volume Illustrated Catalogue of Insular, Anglo-Saxon, and Early Anglo-Norman Manuscript Art at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, was published in time for distribution at the Congress and for a series of Receptions there to celebrate the “Cast & Crew” responsible for its collective achievement. Book-signings continued also at other stages during the Congress, as the author (also the Director of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence) delivered copies to colleagues who had responded to the special pre-publication discount, and had chosen to collect them on site. A happy time!

1995 Congress

January 1, 2014 in Conference Announcement, ICMS, International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo

30th International Congress on Medieval Studies

4-7 May 1995

[First published on 9 August 2014, with updates]

At the 1995 Congress, the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence sponsored one Session. This appearance followed from the preparations already in hand for a transfer to the United States, as described in the 1994 Congress.

During the months following the 1994 Congress, and with the completion in October of the long-term Research Project on “Anglo-Saxon and Related Manuscripts” at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, from which the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence had emerged, the Research Group moved its principal base to the United States — however, unexpectedly, to Princeton.

Its participation in the 1995 Congress represents its first appearance there as an organization based in North America. The developments from this transition are recorded overall in our website. This Session set the stage.

1993 Congress

January 1, 2014 in Book, Conference Announcement, Exhibition, ICMS, International Congress on Medieval Studies, Manuscript Studies, Photographic Exhibition

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.

Seminars on “The Evidence of Manuscripts” (1989‒1995)

January 1, 2014 in Events, Manuscript Studies, Seminars on Manuscript Evidence

Research Group Seminars,
Workshops, and Symposia:
The Early Years

Since 1990, the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence has held Seminars, Workshops, and Symposia (organized or co-organized by Mildred Budny) variously at the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and at other centers in England, Japan, and the United States. In England, many of these sessions belonged to the series of Research Group Seminars on “The Evidence of Manuscripts.” At libraries, the sessions have taken place over relevant manuscripts in the collection, supplemented by photographs. Elsewhere, the sessions have usually been accompanied by displays or exhibitions of photographs (mostly by Mildred Budny).
