5th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the
Digital Age
November 16-17, 2012
Taxonomies of Knowledge
In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of
Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries are pleased to
announce the 5th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript
Studies in the Digital Age. This year's symposium considers the role of the
manuscript in organizing and classifying knowledge. Like today's electronic
databases, the medieval manuscript helped readers access, process, and
analyze the information contained within the covers of a book. The papers
presented at this symposium will examine this aspect of the manuscript book
through a variety of topics, including the place of the medieval library in
manuscript culture, the rise and fall of the 12th-century commentary
tradition, diagrams, devotional practice, poetics, and the organization and
use of encyclopedias and lexicons.

Will Noel is the curator of manuscripts at the Walters Art Museum in
Baltimore. He's a strong proponent of open access policies for digital
library content, and he led the team that uncovered lost texts of
Archimedes through the Archimedes Palimpsest Project (
http://archimedespalimpsest.org/digital/)
"How do you read a two-thousand-year-old manuscript that has been erased,
cut up, written on and painted over? With a powerful particle accelerator,
of course! Ancient books curator William Noel tells the fascinating story
behind the Archimedes palimpsest, a Byzantine prayer book containing
previously-unknown original writings from ancient Greek mathematician
Archimedes and others."

Dear Digital Medievalists,
I just got the message containing today's topics, and there was "FYI: a
corpus of historical Polish (Janusz S. Bie)" among them.
I cannot find, however, this topic on the website. It is not visible as news
or at the "home" page.
Is there some mistake, or am I looking for it in a wrong way?
With my best wishes,
Rafal Wójcik
