is also the title of a catalogue to be published soon by Medieval Institute Publications in association with the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, currently based at Corpus Christi College.\u00a0 The catalogue covers all fifty-six manuscripts of fragments containing illustration and decoration made in the British Isles to <em>circa<\/em> 1100.\u00a0 This includes not only manuscripts made there but also manuscripts imported during the early medieval period, to which such elements were added.\u00a0 The range extends from the sixth-century Italian Gospels of St. Augustine of Canterbury; through the magnificent illustrated Corpus Prudentius; to a masterpiece made by the Welsh scribal Artist Ieuan ap Sulien between 1085 and 1091.<\/p>\n<p>The catalogue reflects the character of the collection and of the Research Group, which is devoted to an integrated approach to manuscript studies, by examining manuscripts as whole objects, archaeological artefacts, carries of text, works of art, and monuments of culture.\u00a0 The catalogue entries provide an account of the manuscript, followed by a detailed inventory of its art and ornament; the plates illustrate very many of those elements.\u00a0 The approach aims to address the interests and concerns of a wide range of fields.\u00a0 For example, in the inventory the identified locations of initials or other elements offer art historians a guid to the position which the decoration occupies within the book, while the descriptions give textual scholars an indication of which portions of the book received decoration, of which styles, of what dates, and by which hands, original or added, so as to assist assessments of its particular copy of the text.\u00a0 The survey of the layout, script, and art may cast light on the grade of book, its purposes, and its intended audience.\u00a0 The plates provide new reproductions of many features, by showing whole pages and series of pages with text, script, decoration, illustration, and artists&#8217; sketches.\u00a0 The catalogue aims to bring the manuscripts to wider attention and make them more accessible to research, which can revise or refine its results.<\/p>\n<p>First Leslie French will discuss a single example of a manuscript in the catalogue, one which he has been studying in depth for some time and to whose entry he contributed.\u00a0 Then Tim Graham, who greatly helped with the catalogue, will survey some discoveries which emerged from this work.\u00a0 Afterwards James Carley, Bob Mathiesen, and I will consider the nature and challenges of cataloguing, using this catalogue as a case in point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By inference, this Session &#8220;Introduction&#8221;
