Ege<\/a> (1888\u20131951), for a variety of purposes more and less laudable. We will showcase work being done in various centers and by many individuals on these materials, as part of long-term, laborious, significant, and sometimes dispersed research to identify, reclaim, and, insofar as possible, virtually reconstruct the originals and place them in context.<\/p>\n<p>We seek to gather perspectives on the challenges and opportunities presented by the dispersed manuscript or other materials which survive, albeit disordered or reordered, after passing through the hands of collectors-turned-biblioclasts, for whatever reasons.<\/p>\n<p>A main focus, given the number and variety of projects dedicated to them, will be the manuscripts and other materials dispersed by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Otto_Ege\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Otto F. Ege<\/a> and his collaborators, notably his wife\/widow Louise and the New York book-dealer and book-breaker <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Philip_C._Duschnes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philip C. Duschnes<\/a> (1897\u20131970). Yet, not least because many of their remnants have joined or become intermixed with fragments dispersed by others and through diverse processes in varied collections, it is worthwhile to consider that complex factor for their effective study as well.<\/p>\n<p>We seek to showcase the work of these projects, compare notes about issues and methods of research, and set the legacy of those biblioclasts in the context of others working as predecessors, contemporaries, or followers, as they also redirected the course of manuscript and related studies by disrupting and dislocating its evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;delivery methods&#8217; of dispersal range from assemblages of sets of fragments as specimens in Portfolios, Leaf-Books, Albums, Scrapbooks, or Loose Leaves which might circulate in mats with or without labels, on their own, or in groups sans identifying information. In effect, many of these remnants were cast out on their own as no-name &#8216;orphans&#8217; whom expertise, serendipity, and circumstance might recognize as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Foundling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;foundlings&#8217;<\/a> or find forever homes, whether virtual or actual.

Photograph by Richard Weber.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Given the progress of these and other projects in various centers concerned with Ege\u2019s legacy, the time is right to bring their representatives (established scholars, curators, collectors, and others, as well as younger scholars) together to compare notes, showcase their work, and strengthen contacts between individuals and centers across borders.<\/p>\n<p>By examining the book-breaking practices overall by \u201cEge &amp; Co.\u201d in the wider context of biblioclasts over time, including many of Ege\u2019s contemporaries, predecessors, and followers, we might gain fuller knowledge of the individually as well as collectively destructive habits and their legacy. Likewise by comparing notes, surveying the results so far of different projects, and, it might be, identifying more of the seemingly lost fragments in unknown or unexpected places, our Colloquium could cross thresholds and open more gateways to wider knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Such larger contexts provide wider horizons and more comprehensive awareness of the destructive tendencies towards books in given times and places. They can demonstrate, by examination and comparison, the particular characteristics or \u2018style\u2019 of the collector, book-breaker, book-seller, and the resulting forms as altered pieces or bodies of evidence for the lost and damaged originals. Among notable predecessors for the genre can be counted the albums of \u201cvisually appealing\u201d manuscript fragments created by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Samuel_Pepys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Samuel Pepys<\/a> (1633\u20131703) or the cuttings prepared by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Ruskin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Ruskin<\/a> (1819-1900) and others.<\/p>\n<p>Examining the complex legacy of these various re-creators of medieval manuscripts and other written materials and the range of projects dedicated to them from perspectives and fields of many kinds, sometimes integrated across a broad spectrum encompassing expertise in the arts and sciences, can advance knowledge in individual projects as well as in wider discourse relating to the transmission of written evidence from generation to generation and century to century, with losses, discoveries, and reconstitutions along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Our focus for the co-sponsored Autumn Colloquium is the legacy of book-breakers, book-destroyers, and book-recreators active in multiple centers in Europe, the British Isles, and North America (at least), with the fragments produced by their activities and transmitted to diverse locations worldwide, often without appropriate identifying information. Our task, as receivers of the evidence from such disruptions, is to make sense of the evidence, identify it appropriately, recognize its characteristics as bodies of witnesses with a complex history, compare information about diverse projects (in many centers) relating to these materials, gather feedback, and disseminate the results to a wide audience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20089\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20089\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-20089 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Bible-Leaf-John-recto-middle-1024x527.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Bible-Leaf-John-recto-middle-1024x527.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Bible-Leaf-John-recto-middle-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Bible-Leaf-John-recto-middle-150x77.jpg 150w, https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Bible-Leaf-John-recto-middle-768x395.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Bible-Leaf-John-recto-middle-1536x791.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Bible-Leaf-John-recto-middle-2048x1054.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waterloo, University of Waterloo, DRAGEN Lab, Vellum Leaf from a Book of Hours, Recto, detail.<\/p><\/div>\n<h1>Purpose<\/h1>\n<p>This 2025 Colloquium stands within the long tradition of <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/events-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">symposia, colloquia, workshops, and other scholarly events<\/a> of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, now entering its second quarter-of-a-century as a nonprofit educational corporation based in Princeton, New Jersey.
