Across the History<\/strong><\/a> of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, we have taken care, for many of our conference sessions and other scholarly events, to circulate the Abstracts, more or less detailed, describing the subject, approach, context, and results (or interim results) presented in the Papers or Responses.<\/p>\n

The Abstracts may allow specialists and non-specialists alike to glimpse the nature of the materials under consideration, and to serve as a record of the presentation.\u00a0 The Abstracts are circulated in various forms and formats, which have undergone progression or evolution across the years and types of events.<\/p>\n

At first, the invitations to our Seminars on “The Evidence of Manuscripts”<\/strong><\/a> described briefly the presentations which the contributors intended, as a way to set the stage for the gathering. Then, during the development of our series of Annual Symposia on “The Transmission of the Bible”<\/strong><\/a>, summary descriptions of the subject, scope, methodology, and\/or approach of the individual papers came to be provided in the Program Announcement Poster or, later, the Program Booklet, issued on the day itself and afterward in printout. This practice expanded, to various extents, in the series of Symposia, Workshops & Colloquia<\/a> which resumed in 2001.<\/p>\n

With our updated website (2014-), the Posters and Booklets are available online. A Gallery displays the Posters on Display<\/a>, in an exhibition of the evolution of our style. The Abstracts appear in the Programs or Booklets which can be downloaded on the Pages for their respective Events.<\/p>\n

You may find individual Abstracts by Year of Presentation and then by Author’s Name in our Lists of<\/p>\n
