[Update<\/em>: Issue 2<\/a> has now appeared. Volume 2, Number 1 for Winter 2022-2023. See below.<\/em>]<\/p>\n

We launch the first issue of ShelfMarks<\/strong>.\u00a0 This occasional Newsletter joins our other Publications<\/a>, both online and in print.\u00a0 It aims to report activities, work-in-progress, research results, discoveries, questions, reviews, and news.<\/p>\n

\"Opening

Opening Page of ‘ShelfMarks’ 1<\/p><\/div>\n

Our Newsletter opens a new page in communications by and with the Research Group. \u00a0The issues will appear in alternate forms, flexibly according with the variable methods of current transmission, by email, on screens, and in print.<\/p>\n

The printed version of ShelfMarks<\/strong> displays our own font and design layout, set out page by page in full. \u00a0(8 pages in the first issue.)\u00a0 Its PDF form preserves the layout.\u00a0 The EMAIL version, circulated [formerly] via MailChimp<\/strong>, provides excerpts and highlights, with links in further directions, set out in web form.\u00a0 (Plus some images of its own.)<\/p>\n

To distinguish between these forms, as an aid to bibliographers, book-lovers, and all of our friends, we think of the e-version as a form of ShelfTags<\/strong> for ShelfMarks<\/strong>.\u00a0 The e-version provides a summary, with illustrations, of what is happening in the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence.<\/p>\n

“The Director’s Cut”<\/h3>\n

Highlights of our Anniversary Year, described by our Director<\/p>\n

2014 marks the anniversary of two landmark events for the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence:<\/p>\n

1) 15 years as a nonprofit educational corporation, officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization based in Princeton, New Jersey<\/p>\n

2) 25 years as an international scholarly society, founded in the United Kingdom as part of a collaborative research project (1987\u20131994) at Corpus Christi College in the University of Cambridge<\/p>\n

Events and publications during the year (including this Issue) offer occasions to celebrate and advance our activities.<\/p>\n

The books under consideration in this issue:<\/p>\n

Publications from the Index of Christian Art at Princeton University
