Wood (<em>Oklahoma State University<\/em>)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This panel encourages the study of marginalized or non-canonical linguistic and textual objects. This aim aligns with the missions of both IMANA and the RGME to increase cross-disciplinary analysis of Iberian cultural production, representing a multiplicity of voices, material evidence, innovative methodologies, and diverse cross-disciplinary perspectives. The texts examined can engage with minority or niche hybrid-linguistic structures pertaining to Medieval Iberia&#8217;s minority religious and cultural entities, congruent with our concerted and collective desire to weave a richer tapestry of racial, cultural, religious, and ethnic inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>This panel will explore uses of niche or alternative alphabets in the Iberian Middle Ages, conceived broadly as the period spanning the 8<sup>th<\/sup> through 17<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. Within this framework, the term \u2018Iberian\u2019 may also extend to Iberian-controlled territories outside of the Iberian Peninsula. Papers may address Judeo-Spanish, Haketia, Judeo-Arabic, Mozarabic, Aljamiado, or other linguistic blendings that have yet to be explored in scholarly fashion. Possible themes may include the implications of an alphabetic choice for the resulting textual object \u2014 manuscripts, glosses, inscriptions, epigraphs, and other forms of written expression \u2014 or examples of alterity beyond the text to achieve a particular end.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15924\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15924\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-15924 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Poema_de_Yusuf.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"686\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Poema_de_Yusuf.jpg 686w, https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Poema_de_Yusuf-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Poema_de_Yusuf-150x109.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Poem of Yu\u00e7uf&#8221;, in a 14th-century aljamiado manuscript.
