Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Just published the description of fragments in organs: https://fragmentarium.ms/searchresult/overview/F-2nn5 Perhaps interesting because unusual as host volume. With the group of students from Erfurt we have created a really funny and very detailed overall description of this widely used but totally ignored area for manuscript research. Please also note the detailed paleographic description in the appendix as PDF as well as the many other examples of organs with fragments listed in the image sequences.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. The Schoenberg Symposium this year is on the theme of TRANSLATING SCIENCE, and we are seeking proposals for 5 minute lightning talks to be posted to YouTube as part of the event. Symposium page: https://www.library.upenn.edu/event/translating-science Lightning talk submission form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnGsFm_CZy4usTyM-Ch2nKJw7XY_VKTro… Translating Science considers the networks of exchange, transmission, and translation of natural knowledge evident in manuscript culture in the pre- and early modern periods. We will examine in particular the role of the manuscript book in the translation of natural knowledge across linguistic, regional, disciplinary, and epistemic boundaries. How did scholars, physicians, or philosophers use glosses, diagrams, or other elements of mise-en-page to convey information? What does the manuscript record reveal about the diffusion and conservation of knowledge? How does the materiality of the book itself drive the movement and development of scientific knowledge? What was the role of the scientific manuscript in the era of printed books? The deadline for submitting proposals for a lightning talk is Friday, October 14. Applicants will be notified by October 21 Videos must be submitted to SIMS by November 7 Proposals should be relevant to the theme of TRANSLATING SCIENCE and must be 5 minutes long or shorter. If you're curious about the lightning talk format you can see the Lightning Talks from the 2021 Symposium here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8e3GREu0zuAok9pFcgFSDTFqzLc5uRbh Submit your proposals by 10/14 in this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnGsFm_CZy4usTyM-Ch2nKJw7XY_VKTro… If you have questions you can email me dorp(a)upenn.edu<mailto:dorp@upenn.edu>.
