<\/a>In the Series of Seminars on the Evidence of Manuscripts<\/a>\nThe Parker Library, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge
\n(16 December 1989)
\nInvitation<\/strong><\/a> in pdf.<\/p>\n
The previous Seminar in the series considered [First published on 30 August 2016<\/em>]<\/p>\n Focused on the evidence and challenges of medieval manuscripts from Canterbury, this was the last Seminar in the Series on “The Evidence of Manuscripts” organized by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence while the Group was still resident at The Parker Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. September was the last month of the 5-year Leverhulme Trust Research Project based at the Library, with a team of specialists; the term of the Project extended from 1 October 1989 to 30 September 1994. The course and subjects of its research work are described in the detailed Annual Reports to the Leverhulme Trust<\/a>.\u00a0 As described among our Publications<\/a>, the Reports were reprinted and circulated, together with the current Profile<\/a> (updated as appropriate) of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence.<\/p>\n View Toward the Entrance to the Parker Library in mid-1989. Photograph \u00a9 Mildred Budny.<\/p><\/div>\n The specialist research work at the Library had, however, officially begun with the 2-year appointment (1987\u20131989) of an outside-funded full-time Senior Research Associate (Mildred Budny), dedicated to research on Anglo-Saxon and related manuscripts\u00a0\u2014 emanating naturally from her comprehensive Ph.D. study of the Royal Bible of Saint Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury<\/a>, and applying its holistic methodology to relevant (as well as other) manuscripts at the Parker Library, including those undergoing conservation. Observing the value of such integrated dedication, photography included, to the study of manuscripts archaeologically revealed in disbinding and rebinding, the Librarian and the Senior Research Associate determined to apply to the Leverhulme Trust for outside funding both to continue and to extend this work, next with the full-time employment also of a Research Assistant (to be identified), as well as more photography of the unfolding evidence. The first Seminar in the Series of Seminars on “The Evidence of Manuscripts”<\/a> took place several months before the Leverhulme Trust Research Project began, and considered “Manuscript Illustrations as Evidence for Anglo-Saxon Life”<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a9 The British Library Board, Royal MS 10 A.XII, folio 2v: Saint Dunstan as Scribe. Reproduced by permission.<\/p><\/div>The subject of this last Seminar on “Canterbury Manuscripts”, one of the earliest on our wish list for such a seminar, took several years to accomplish, partly because of the readiness and need to wait until several of the participants (for example, Michael Borrie) might have available time to contribute.\u00a0 It is not exactly a question of “Saving the Best for Last”, because many of the Seminars and Workshops in the series were stimulating and ground-breaking, nor exactly of “Better Late Than Never”, but rather of “Hurray!”\u00a0 “At Last!”<\/p>\n One more Seminar in the same Series<\/a> took place at The Parker Library in June 1995 (see below), after the Research Group had completed its major long-term research project there, had moved its principal base to the United States, and had begun its next series of scholarly events devoted to specific subjects of research on manuscripts and other written materials.\u00a0 Those series took the forms, in turn, of the Annual Symposia on “The Transmission of the Bible”<\/a> (1995\u20132000) and then the “The New Series”<\/a> (2001\u2013) of Symposia, Colloquia, Workshops & Seminars.<\/p>\n In many ways, the swift and intense “First Series” of Seminars set the path (if not necessarily the pace, other conditions sometimes intervening) for the next steps, including scholarly events conducted mostly upon informal but structured lines, always constructively\u00a0\u2014 as well as some forms of our Publications<\/a>, including, on occasion, the Program Booklets.\u00a0 The first such Program Booklet emanated as a “Preliminary Report”<\/a> from the Workshop on “Image-Processing and Manuscript Studies”<\/a> in January 1994.\u00a0 Thus, the First Series<\/a> contains many Firsts for the Research Group, including parts of our tradition of publishing, which lead, not least, to this very website.\u00a0 (You are Here.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Invitation Letter for the “Canterbury Manuscripts” Seminar (shown here and downloadable here<\/a> with its RSVP form) states the case:<\/p>\n We plan to hold a Research Group seminar on Monday, 19 September, devoted to manuscripts from Canterbury.\u00a0 It will consider the subject of surviving manuscripts and fragments made at Canterbury and\/or owned there in the medieval period.\u00a0 Many of them are preserved at the Parker Library, from both Christ Church Cathedral Priory<\/a> and St Augustine’s Abbey<\/a>; they were acquired by Matthew Parker<\/a>, archbishop of Canterbury, in the sixteenth century.\u00a0 As these institutions were among the largest ecclesiastical owners and longest-standing producers of manuscripts in medieval England, the survivors from Canterbury libraries and workshops exhibit a very wide range of types of books, texts, scripts, decoration and patterns of usage, both formal and informal.\u00a0 Their study reveals much about the history of book-production, patronage, ownership and use in England from the medieval period to the present.<\/p>\n As usual, the seminar was designed informally, “as a round table”, to “give plenty of opportunity to respond to the speakers and ask questions”.<\/p>\n From the location in Cambridge, we surveyed, at a distance of both time and place, some highlights of the surviving legacy of book-production at Canterbury in the early Middle Ages.\u00a0 From the surviving (mostly late-medieval) catalogues of the libraries of both Christ Church Priory and Saint Augustine’s Abbey, viewed against the surviving identified or identifiable books, or parts thereof, it is painfully clear that the ruins of the libraries’ former glories, fragmented and dispersed, all-too-closely resemble the mangled and poorly, destructively, excavated ruins of Saint Augustine’s Abbey itself.<\/p>\n Ruins of Saint Augustine’s Abbey. Photograph by Casey and Sonja, via Wikipedia Commons.<\/p><\/div>\n The Invitation Letter described the plan, naming speakers and subjects, without formal titles as such.\u00a0 Even the order of presentations might, as not infrequently in the Series, vary somewhat from the order described, while others among the participants contribute to the proceedings as well.\u00a0 Whetting the appetite, the Letter named names and cited some Corpus manuscripts.<\/p>\n Michael Borrie will speak about a “bouquet of Canterbury manuscripts.”<\/p>\n Cover \/ Poster (minus the pasted-in-photograph from Corpus Christi College MS 286) for the exhibition of ‘Canterbury at Corpus’ held at the Parker Library in 1991.<\/p><\/div>\n Mildred Budny will survey our work on manuscripts at the Parker Library from St Augustine’s Abbey, notably MSS 20<\/a>, 44<\/a>, 81<\/a>, 144<\/a>, 189<\/a>, 197<\/a>B, 286<\/a>, 352<\/a> and 389<\/a>.\u00a0 They include manuscripts identifiable as having been made at the abbey; as having been owned there; and as having acquired a tradition, credible or otherwise, that they had been owned by St Augustine<\/a> or Theodore of Tarsus<\/a>, the first and seventh archbishops of Canterbury.<\/p>\n Richard Emms will consider how the historical context of St Augustine’s Abbey affected its production and ownership of books to circa<\/em> 1100, with special reference to MSS 44, 267<\/a>, 270<\/a>, 286, 291<\/a>, 320<\/a>, 352 and 389.<\/p>\n Janet Bately will assess the use made at Christ Church of the oldest surviving copy of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle:<\/em>\u00a0 MS 173, Part I.<\/p>\n Nicholas Hadgraft, along with Tony Parker if he is able to attend, will survey suitable, sensitive approaches to rebinding MS 44, whose modern binding has recently come to pieces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n With a break for lunch in College, the Seminar was followed by a Party hosted by the Librarian, Nigel Wilkins, with Tea and Scones in his Fellow’s set in Old Court.<\/p>\n View Toward the Chapel at the Entrance to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, in mid-September 1994.

Photography \u00a9 Mildred Budny<\/p><\/div>\n This was the last Seminar in the Series while the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence was in residence at The Parker Library. Organized by Nigel Wilkins, the Librarian (and Associate of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence), the next Seminar in the Series at the Library considered<\/p>\n Events organized by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence once its principal base had located in Princeton, New Jersey, in October 1994 focused on subjects which could be open to the public and did not depend mainly upon direct inspection of some manuscripts themselves.<\/p>\n The sequences of these subsequent events are reported within our Seminars, Workshops, Colloquia & Symposia<\/a> overall.\u00a0 Like the First Series, those events wandered, or rotated, from center to center, as a veritable Moveable Feast.\u00a0 The events brought nourishing Food for Thought, with the contributions of scholars, students, and others, while the hosts and sponsors provided the Food and Drink to keep body and soul together, and the participants offered attention, feedback, and collegiality.<\/p>\n Generally, these subsequent events belong to two Series.\u00a0 The first Series centered upon a broad, but focused, topic:\u00a0 the Bible in its complex transmission across time and space, in words, images, rituals, culture, and many aspects of life.\u00a0 The next Series extended into other spheres of exploration, and additional materials, both manuscript and other, without leaving behind altogether the broad subject of the transmission of the Bible.\u00a0 In part this extension emerged through new contacts and collaborations found in, or through, the New World.<\/p>\n Thus commenced the series of Events<\/a> organized by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence in its new home in the New World. First was the Symposium on “The Bible and the Visual Arts” at Barnard College and Columbia University in New York City in April 1995.<\/p>\n This event launched the Series of Annual Symposia on “The Transmission of the Bible”<\/a> (1995\u20122000), held at different centers in turn. By chance (perhaps), its Series concluded with the Symposium on “Canterbury and the Bible”, held at Douglass College of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in March 2000.<\/p>\n Soon, responding to its responses and the willingness by different centers to host its Events in turn, it grew into a steady Series with a selected focus.\u00a0 We did not exactly plan it that way; we approached each Event (as we still do) on its own, for its own merits, and in the context of our current and collective interests, contacts, projects, and opportunities.<\/p>\n After that the completion of the Second Series of Symposia on “The Transmission of the Bible”, the Research Group concentrated on some other activities.\u00a0 They included:<\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Canterbury Manuscripts: A Seminar” In the Series of Seminars on the Evidence of Manuscripts The Parker Library, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (16 December 1989) Invitation in pdf.
