SUMMARY:The Medieval Manuscript in Time
DESCRIPTION:Houghton Library and the Standing Committee on Medieval Studies 
 present "The Medieval Manuscript in Time\," a hands-on workshop by 
 Christopher Baswell\, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of English at Barnard 
 College and Columbia University.\n\nNo book is ever finished. Manuscript 
 books especially may be left not quite copied for lack of an exemplar\; or 
 spaces may be left for decoration that is filled only later\, or never. A 
 book may have a brief period of suspension after a final step of binding\, 
 but the moment it is opened\, it begins to transform. Users annotate (or 
 deface) the text\, add their own sketches or marks of attention\, rearrange 
 the book for new uses\, or provide new means of access with chapter lists 
 or forms of indexing. In this workshop\, we will look at manuscript books 
 in Harvard’s collections\, with special attention to their incompleteness 
 and their evolution. We’ll look especially at works we’d now call 
 literature and history\, but also law\, religious practice\, and 
 beyond.\n\n"The Medieval Manuscript in Time" will be offered in the morning 
 and once in the afternoon\, and space is limited. Please register for one 
 session only. This is the listing for the afternoon session. Follow this 
 link to register for the morning session:

 "Arthurian Immobilities: Disabled Kings and Nobles in the Lancelot Prose 
 Cycle\," October 16\, 5:30 PM\, at Houghton Library.
