Beginning in 1995, the Research Group jointly sponsored a series of Annual Symposia on “The Transmission of the Bible,”<\/strong> organized by Mildred Budny and held at various centers in turn.\u00a0 The series began with the invitation by our Associate Jane Rosenthal to hold a symposium soon after the Research Group moved its principal base to the United States in the autumn of 1994.\u00a0 Both Princeton University and Douglass College of Rutgers University hosted two symposia in the rotation.<\/p>\n For this series, the Research Group designed and laid out the Posters (functioning as the Symposia Announcements) and the Programs, using our “official” font Adobe Garamond\u2122.\u00a0 Also issued were Announcements and Programs, in varying formats and styles.<\/p>\n This practice marked a development from our custom for the earlier series of Research Group Seminars on “The Evidence of Manuscripts”<\/strong><\/a>, for which the invitations took the form of a letter, describing the subject, scope, and contributions.\u00a0 As the opportunity permits, we continue to present those invitations on our website.\u00a0 They demonstrate a developing course of our concerted approach of design leading to the copyright multilingual digital font Bembino<\/a>, in which this website appears before your eyes.<\/p>\n From the beginning of their series, the Programs for the series on “The Transmission of the Bible” included brief Abstracts of the papers, so as to indicate more of the subject, scope, results, and significance than the titles alone might suggest to an audience including specialists in various disciplines and non-specialists alike.<\/p>\n This custom also pertains to many of our Events<\/strong><\/a> and Conference Sessions (since 2007), both Sponsored<\/a> and Co-Sponsored<\/a>. \u00a0The Abstracts<\/strong><\/a> for our Sessions at the International Congress on Medieval Studies may be accessed both By Author<\/a> and By Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Over the course of the series on “The Transmission of the Bible”, the design of their publications expanded to encompass increasingly detailed Abstracts.\u00a0 The Program-with-Abstracts took the form of a foldable diptych (using quarto-size paper) for the third Symposium (“Liturgy”) and a foldable triptych (using 11″ \u00d7 17″ paper) for both the fourth and fifth Symposia (“Apocalypse” and “Canterbury Bible”).\u00a0 Our redesigned website (2014) allows the publication of these materials as a long-term record of the events.<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n co-sponsored by the Art History Department<\/strong> of Barnard College<\/strong> and Program with Abstracts, laid out in 2 pages, back-to-back<\/p>\n *****<\/strong><\/p>\n co-sponsored by the Department of Art and Archaeology<\/strong>, the Program in Medieval Studies<\/strong>, the Index of Christian Art<\/strong>, and Late-Antique Studies<\/strong> of Princeton University<\/strong><\/p>\n co-sponsored by the Medieval Studies Program<\/strong> and Douglass College<\/strong> of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey<\/strong><\/p>\n Leonid Beliaev<\/p><\/div>\n Program with Abstracts, laid out in 2 pages, back-to-back<\/p>\n co-sponsored by<\/p>\n Session I<\/strong>, chaired by Consuelo W.
