As a space to develop writing and decoration, marginalia, or \u201cthings in the margin,\u201d might be integral to the design of a manuscript, or their marks could be extraneous additions to the page.<\/p>\n<p>Papers might explore the interaction of readers with texts through annotations and glosses, and investigate the many varied inscriptions and their purposeful inclusion in book borders. Papers might also zero in on the iconographic programs and decorative surrounds in manuscripts, which evolved over the late Middle Ages and into the early modern period, and which contain compelling visual evidence of the whimsical and fantastic.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Program (online by Zoom)<\/h2>\n<h3>Session 1:\u00a0 2:00\u20133:30 pm EDT (GMT-4)<\/h3>\n<p><em>Presider<\/em>: <strong>Jessica L.
