Texts and Contexts: A conference at The Ohio State University, sponsored by The Center for Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies.

October 31 - November 1, 2008

The conference seeks to investigate the textual traditions of various texts and genres, including texts in classical Latin, mediaeval Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Middle English, and the vernaculars. Preference will be given to those abstracts which deal with newly discovered texts and their manuscript settings, or which present new perspectives on established textual traditions. We encourage graduate students and newly established scholars to submit their work.

Plenary speaker: Keith Busby, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Codicological Imperative: Reading 'Manuscriture'.

Please send abstracts to Professor Frank T. Coulson, Director of Palaeography, 190 Pressey Hall, 1070 Carmack Road, Columbus, OH 43210 or by email at epig@osu.edu.

Deadline for submission: August 15, 2008.

New book series on medieval manuscripts from The Ohio State University Press: Text and Context

Frank T. Coulson, Director of Palaeography, has been appointed editor of a new series from The Ohio State University Press. Text and Context is devoted to the study of manuscripts and manuscript culture from late antiquity to the Renaissance. We seek to encompass all aspects of manuscript production, including the material culture of the codex, editions of new texts, manuscript catalogues, and more theoretical studies. The series covers vernacular as well as Latin manuscripts, and studies which deal with the interaction of Latin and the vernacular are particularly welcome.

Proposals should be directed to Malcolm Litchfield, The Ohio State University Press, 180 Pressey Hall, 1070 Carmack Road, Columbus, OH 43210 or litchfield.6@osu.edu.
