Call for Papers: Medieval Libraries: People,
Materials, and Practices (1
session) for the International Congress on
Medieval Studies 05/06

Libraries evolved continuously throughout the
Middle Ages. Yet, which
forms did this evolution take? Which influences
contributed to this
process? How did this process change libraries
between Late Antiquity and
the Renaissance? These questions define
scholarship related to this
matter. The session, "Topics in Medieval Librarianship:
People, Materials, and
Practices" will seek to discuss these
issues.

For this session, presenters are invited to speak
on any topic related to
librarianship during late antiquity through the
Early Modern period
(c.300-c.1600). These studies can be from any
part of the medieval world
(Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East) and could
deal with the following
areas: manuscript studies, the history of
libraries, book history,literacy,
in addition to the librarians themselves and
their practices. If you have
another topic or region of interest within the
medieval world, please feel
free to send me an email at
[email-masked].

There is a possibility that papers from this and
previous sessions on
medieval libraries will be published in the
future. Participants
interested in contributing to this work should
indicate their interest to
the session organizers when they submit their
abstracts.

I would invite all interested parties to send a
250 word abstract of their
topic to me at

David J. Duncan
  31 W. Allen Ridge Road
  Springfield, MA 01118
  
Or

Dr. Brad L. Eden
Library
University of California
  Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9010

The presenters, as per the Congress's standards,
will be held to 20 minutes
apiece for presentation time so as to allow an
opportunity for the audience
to ask questions and discuss ideas with the
panel.

Deadline for submissions is September 15, 2006.

I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you
for your time and
consideration!
