2024 RGME Spring Symposium at Vassar College:
“Between Past and Future:
Building Bridges
between Special Collections and Teaching for the Liberal Arts”
Friday to Sunday, 19 to 21 April 2024

(hybrid, with both in-person events and online participation by Zoom)

*****

For 2024, the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence celebrates an anniversary. Our Theme for the Year is “Bridges”. See “Bridges” for our 2024 Anniversary Year.

Vassar College, Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, “The Open Missal”. Ludger tom Ring the Younger, circa 1570.

Among our celebrations, the RGME continues with its Symposium Series. With a Spring Symposium at Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, New York, the RGME Symposia return to an in-person event, this time as a hybrid event also with online participation.

In 2023, the RGME began to return to in-person events with its activities at the partly-hybrid 58th International Congress on Medieval Studies. This step came after the cancellation of the Congress in 2020 and an online Congress in both 2021 and 2022. For 2024, our Symposia join this return, with the invitation to hold our Spring Symposium at Vassar College.

For some of our Symposia, whether in-person at Princeton University in 2019 (and intended there in 2020), or online by Zoom in 2022, 2023, and 2024, our RGME Associates at Vassar have given presentations about their work, the Library, and Special Collections. See, for example,

  • 2019 Anniversary Symposium Report: The Roads Taken
  • 2022 Spring and Autumn Symposia
  • 2023 Spring and Autumn Symposia
  • 2023 Autumn Symposium “Between Earth and Sky”
  • 2023 Spring Symposium “From the Ground Up”
  • 2024 Anniversary Symposium in Thanks to Jesse Hurlbut

Now we visit Vassar to join the celebrations for a new catalogue and exhibition of Medieval and Renaissance Books in the collection. We do so by gathering scholars, librarians, curators, cataloguers, collectors, vendors, teachers, and others to participate in an RGME Symposium which showcases the materials in the light of expertise and appreciation dedicated to them.

The choice of the Program and other components of the Symposium is guided by the Vassar/RGME Symposium Advisory Committee, and by other advisers both at Vassar and elsewhere. The Advisory Committee comprises

  • Ronald Patkus,
  • Elizabeth Lastra,
  • Mildred Budny, and
  • Barbara Williams Ellertson.

Note. We met Justin through his participation in the Research Group’s co-sponsored Session on Medieval Manuscripts in North American Collections at the 48th International Congress on Medieval Studies. The Abstract for his Paper is published here: Hastings (2013 Congress). We thank him for his continuing contributions and his organizational expertise.

For information about the Events of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, to which these Sponsored Panels belong, please see our Events and Events Archive.

For convenience, we maintain a distinction between our Events elsewhere (in various centers in North America and beyond) and our many Congress Activities over the years at the Annual International Congress on Medieval Studies, likewise with a Congress Archive, held at Western Michigan University each May in Kalamazoo. 

The pair of panels intended for the 2016 M-MLA Convention represent the first time, apart from the Kalamazoo Congress, that the Research Group sponsors meetings within a conference held in North America.

We look forward to your contributions to this new stage in the history of the Research Group.

2012 Congress

January 1, 2014 in Abstracts of Conference Papers, Bembino, Conference Announcement, ICMS, International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo

47th International Congress on Medieval Studies

10–13 May 2012

[First published on our first website on *15 December 2011, with updates there and here]

Our four Sponsored and Co-Sponsored Sessions at the 2012 Congress examined the material culture and production of written records in Western Europe and beyond, and the dispersal, recovery, and preservation of those works in various forms and widespread locations.  Besides these interlinked subjects, our highlighted genre was “Dream Books”, appearing in multiple manifestations in both manuscript and print.

One Session was the second in our series at the Congress on “Medieval Writing Materials”.  Its series (2011–2014 and, intended, 2016) is listed in our Sponsored Conference Sessions.

This year, for the first time, after the debut of a single illustrated Poster for one of our sponsored Sessions at the 2011 Congress, an illustrated Posters accompanied both of our own Sponsored Sessions.  Since 2015, the full series of illustrated Posters for Congress Sessions and other Events appear in our Gallery of Posters on Display.

Photographic Exhibitions & Masterclasses (1990–)

January 1, 2014 in Events, ICMS, Manuscript Studies, Photographic Exhibition

[Published on 1 January 2014, with updates]

Photography by Mildred Budny. For the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, logo included

Now in Bembino

Since 1990, sometimes as part of its Seminars, Workshops, and Conference Sessions, the Research Group has held photographic exhibitions on Anglo-Saxon and related manuscripts at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge; the University of Oxford; and elsewhere.

Mostly using photographs by Mildred Budny, they include many of the Research Group Seminars on “The Evidence of Manuscripts” as well as these occasions:

“The Integrated Approach to Manuscript Studies” (Tokyo, 1992)

Exhibition held with variations at the University of Tokyo at Komaba, at Chuo University, Tokyo, and at Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo (November and December 1992).  The Exhibition Booklet is now downloadable here (2016).

Cover Page for 1992 Exhibition Catalogue on 'An Integrated Approach to Manuscript Studies'

“The Integrated Approach to Manuscript Studies” (International Congress on Medieval Studies, 1993 & 1994)

The previous exhibition held with further variations twice at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo at the International Congress on Medieval Studies (May 1993 and May 1994).

These exhibitions formed part of the contributions by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence and its Director to the Congress, as reported for our Session at the 28th International Congress on Medieval Studies and Session at the 29th International Congress on Medieval Studies.  The 1994 exhibition was designed to accompany the Dedication ceremony for the new Richard Rawlinson Center for Anglo-Saxon Studies.  The current activities of that Center are reported here: About Us at the Richard Rawlinson Center.

“The Monastic Library:  Books from St. Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury” (Princeton University, 1995)

Exhibition held at Wilson College, Princeton University (March 1995).

*****

Since 2006, invited Master Classes taught by Mildred Budny, in Princeton and elsewhere, have provided instruction on aspects and techniques of responsibly photographing manuscripts, documents, and works of art for purposes of research, preservation, exhibition, and publication.  Some of these classes accompany, and augment, our continuing work on Genealogies & Archives.

Our publications or co-publications include photographs of the manuscripts themselves and related materials (many or mostly by Mildred Budny).  Some publications contain so generous a number of photographs as to constitute a form of exhibition, as with the two-volume illustrated catalogue of Insular, Anglo-Saxon, and Early Anglo-Norman Manuscript Art at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.  They are listed in our Publications.

While the world in recent years has turned widespread and extensively funded attention to the production, proliferation, and presentation of digital images reproducing manuscripts for online exhibition, the photographic work of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence in its foundational collaborative and integrated study of manuscripts, before the dawn of the Digital Age, represents an example of the collaborative efforts to produce and reproduce images as accurately as possible so as to demonstrate the evidence and to encourage responsible interpretations from a wide and integrated range of specialists, students, and interested “bystanders” alike.

An example demonstrating these multiple approaches is our 2014 Seminar on “Manuscripts & Their Photographs”.

In August 2008, in exploring new developments and potential for our first website [launched in 2007 as www.manuscriptevidence.org, and then archived as http://www.manuscriptevidence.org/data/ during the transition to our second, updated website, launched in 2014 as manuscriptevidence.org/wpme/; You are Here], we were granted generous permission to photograph a group of medieval manuscript fragments and documents in a private collection, and to publish these images here, when the site allowed.

The photography is designed to show the whole objects, as well as details.

We invite, conduct, and report research on these materials. With their accompanying descriptions and assessments, the display may constitute a virtual exhibition.

We welcome questions or comments about the images. We hope that exhibiting them in this way will promote fuller knowledge of their nature, context, significance, and relatives.

We may also use this opportunity to discuss suitable techniques of photographing manuscripts and other artifacts responsibly, with respect to the directions of scholarly interests as well as curatorial and conservational concerns. Not always do these interests and concerns need to stand at odds with or against each other, especially with communication and collaboration. Such discussion may function, for example, as form of a tipsheet or masterclass.

As part of this process, we continue to present results and to discuss the issues involved in photographic recording of manuscript and related materials. An example is recorded at web.princeton.edu/sites/medieval/calendar_f10.html, with its accompanying Poster.   We thank the owners of the image and of the photograph for permission for reproduction on the poster.

Please watch this space for further developments, as we unveil a new, illustrated page in our history.

[Update]

And now, we offer fruits, with illustrations, of these interlinked processes of photography, research, photography, research, reflection, revision, and reports, in our series of blogposts (since 2015) on Manuscript Studies.  Its Contents List (shown there) is growing.

Besides, along the way, we have also been able to open a series of Galleries on this website (since 2014) showcasing, generously from another private collection, a set of images of scripts and texts across the centuries and in a variety of languages:

Scripts on Parade
Texts on Parade

Have a look!  More to come . . .

Please let us know if you recognize any of the manuscripts from which some of these fragments have come!
