Session I:\u00a0 &#8220;Manuscripts as Instruments of Learning&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whether substantial or slender, and even if now reduced to fragments, manuscripts small and large could in their own times, and still might in our own, open up worlds of exploration and learning. These virtues pertain to volumes as varied as massive authority texts, religious or secular (ranging from Bibles in full or Biblical Books to legal, scientific, medical, or alchemical texts); classbooks for diverse purposes and audiences; copies of poetry, recipes, or historical records; and scraps or segments of learning or lore gathered in commonplace books or miscellanies. Not only the original contents but also accretions, reworkings, and patterns of use, abuse, and transmission bring evidence to bear upon their abilities as witnesses across time and place to intentions for and practices of learning.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways grounded upon their contents, including texts, glosses, commentaries, and navigational aids, medieval manuscripts can function as containers, conveyors, or embodiments of worlds to discover and teach. Their worlds speak volumes.<\/p>\n<p>As Part I of three in our suite on &#8220;Manuscripts as Worlds of Learning&#8221;, this session welcomes papers on a wide variety of subjects, genres of manuscripts, approaches, and perspectives. We seek to explore how manuscripts of many kinds might effect learning, whether directly or indirectly, in the transmission of written materials between their makers, models or exemplars, readers, viewers, and users.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10170\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10170\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10170 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Q_Horatius_Flaccus_Carmina_1-48v_..._btv1b9067207q-1024x724.jpeg\" alt=\"Paris, BnF, MS latin 17987, first opening with front endleaf and folio 1 recto.

Session II: \u201cManuscript Pedagogy and Pedagogy of Manuscripts\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As much as with later printed books used in scholastic settings, many manuscripts have been used for teaching purposes, and show evidence of this in various ways.\u00a0 The glossing of texts in multilingual contexts (which all medieval cultures were where vernaculars and Latin are in use, whether or not the vernacular is being employed for literary purposes), the utilization of chapter headings or titles within established texts for easier referencing, marginal manicules highlighting particular passages, and any number of other pieces of on-page aids in finding or understanding the written material present all demonstrate such pedagogical motives where manuscript composition is concerned.\u00a0 Classbooks, commonplace books, and miscellanies can be prepared with navigational aids for their study, while others acquire such aids as they are composed and subsequently used.<\/p>\n<p>Further, manuscripts can be instruments of learning and teaching for modern people in medieval academic settings. The transferable skills of manuscript study include paleography, codicology, forensic examination, textual interpretation, and visual ornamentation, illustration, and organization, amongst other applications.\u00a0 Manuscript facsimiles, diplomatic editions, and online electronic reproductions can all be employed in classroom settings for these purposes. Innovative hybrid analogue and digital approaches to use of these manuscript materials in teaching continue to proliferate.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Round Table Discussion<strong>:<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>&#8220;Manuscripts in the Classroom, Then and Now&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_5047\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5047\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5047 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bodley_auctf432_f1r-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Frontispiece image, with the prostrate figure of Saint Dunstan beside Christ, in Saint Dunstan's Classbook, MS.
