Announcement Part 1: The Program
[Posted on 18 October 2023, with updates]
We announce the 2024 RGME Anniversary Symposium, as an expression of thanks to our RGME WebMaster Emeritus, Jesse Hurlbut, upon his retirement. This Symposium is the first in our Symposia for 2024, when the RGME celebrates an anniversary of 35 years as an international scholarly society founded in England, and 25 years as a nonprofit educational corporation based in Princeton, New Jersey.
Jesse’s contributions to the RGME as Associate and WebMaster date from 2005, a few years after our incorporation in 1999 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The generosity of his contributions to the RGME and many others in fields of manuscript and other studies across the years lead us, in the company of some of his former students and colleagues, to offer this Symposium in thanks.
For the background for this Symposium, see the companion post to this one:
The First WebMaster of the RGME
An accomplished medievalist, manuscript historian, photographer, blogger, and scholar of French language and literature, Jesse Hurlbut generously served as the first WebMaster of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence (2005–2023). Following Jesse’s retirement on 30 June 2023, we wish to offer this event in thanks, to examine subjects related to his interests, work, and teaching in the world of manuscript studies. The Symposium brings together former students, colleagues, and friends to share their work and work-in-progress in various subjects or projects which his work, teaching, and example may have helped to inspire or refine.
