Starting tomorrow (Wednesday, November 18), the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies will be virtually hosting the annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age through Friday, November 20. This year's theme is "Manuscript Studies in the Digital Covid-19 Age," where we will be considering the state of digital manuscript studies, where we've been, and where we need to go. While registration is currently full for the synchronous event, we are making available to the general public 25 5-minute lightening round talks via the SIMS Youtube channel here<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8e3GREu0zuD1mR_tXBvn4ovYib9E3qwq> for asynchronous viewing.
The videos represent a broad spectrum of the exciting work going on in manuscript studies right now, and it's inspiring to see innovation taking place even during these uncertain times. We hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do. Links to individual videos and more information are available on the Lightning Round Video program posted here: https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/ljs-symposium13.

Abstract by the speaker:
At the start of the session, we will look at philological problems in
Catullus, poems 26 (taking in the real estate market of ancient Rome)
and 102. We will move on to poems 61 (concentrating on lines 45–46,
90–96 and 215–16) and 62 (lines 22 and 54–56). Participants may find it
useful to look at these texts in advance.
All best,

Dear Colleagues,
This weekend, the poem Beowulf will be performed by a troupe of 50 story-tellers from all over the U.S. and Canada on YouTube. I am the academic adviser for the performance. Details follow below. Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested.
I hope you'll join us, and that you'll find the performance useful and entertaining. And please accept my apologies for cross posting.
Yours,

BEOWULF THE ETHEREAL EVENT BRINGS BEOWULF TO ZOOM
On November 14 and 15, Beowulf the Ethereal Event will present all of the poem Beowulf, performed live on Zoom. The entire epic will be split into two performances, live-streamed to the SCA East Kingdom’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SCAEastKingdomEthereal
• Part 1: Saturday, November 14, starting at 7:30 pm Eastern time.
• Part 2: Sunday, November 15, at 2:00 pm Eastern time.
The performances will be posted to YouTube permanently at a later date.
Beowulf the Ethereal Event will feature the talents of 50 performers from all over the United States and Canada.
The performance is being produced by the artistic team who staged live story-telling performances of Beowulf in 2011 and 2012 and of Njal’s Saga in 2017.
The poem tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who rescues the Danes by killing the monstrous Grendel. He goes on to kill Grendel’s mother, become king, and then—in his old age—must face a dragon. Throughout, he learns lessons about kingship, feud, and the dangers inherent in fighting monsters.
The performance will be presented with the natural, organic backgrounds of our homes—bookshelves, workshops, home offices, kitchens, and living rooms. We will tell the story without stage magic, but instead will use the available medium to bring Beowulf into the homes of the audience.
The performance text includes translations by Howell Chickering, R.M. Liuzza, Craig Williamson, A.S. Kline, Francis Grummere, M. Wendy Hennequin, Michael Dixon, and Emily Holbert. We are grateful for the permission to use their works. The artistic team gratefully acknowledges the support of the East Kingdom Web Ministry, and the East Kingdom Ministry of Arts and Sciences.
>From Director Michael Dixon:
“Beowulf is still relevant today. Leadership matters, well-earned loyalty is essential, and pride is a dangerous path," Toki said, adding that Nietzche's advice was true for Beowulf, and is true today, "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster."

This peer-reviewed journal is open to contributions that rely on both traditional methodologies of manuscript study and those that explore the potential of new ones. We publish articles that engage in a larger conversation on manuscript culture and its continued relevance in today's world and highlight the value of manuscript evidence in understanding our shared cultural and intellectual heritage.

The realization of a complete census of the Florentine accounting sources is the last step of a long research, started almost fifty years ago. The main credits go to Richard Goldthwaite and Marco Spallanzani who have been collecting throughout their research careers a huge amount of data from public and private archives. Thanks to a grant funded by Ca’Foscari University of Venice, the original dataset has been revised and extended by Francesco Bettarini and recently converted into an actual database by Daniele Fusi. It now records more than 3000 items, with detailed information concerning the acts, datation, families involved, type of economic activities, archival location and more.
The census will be published online to make it accessible to a large community of scholars in the social and economic history of Renaissance Florence and beyond. It will serve as a hub of materials and data on accounting documents by linking them to an ever growing landscape of online resources, e.g. collections of digital facsimiles and editions, as they will become available over time.
