From Manuscript to Print: Book Culture and the Antiquarian Tradition

Activity: Participating in or organising an academic eventParticipation in academic conference

Description

Books preserve and transmit knowledge and memories from the past. They are objects that can be loaded with intrinsic, material and aesthetic value. Their fragility also raises questions about the need to protect them from destruction and oblivion. This workshop explores from a cross-disciplinary perspective the antiquarian tradition, and what we can learn from manuscript and print culture from antiquity up to the 19th century. The aim of the workshop is to approach specialised, yet also versatile and complementary areas of study and their methodologies to research students, scholars and anyone interested in books as objects, agents and protagonists of art and knowledge. This initiative is the first collaborative event hosted by the new Roehampton Research and Knowledge Exchange Centres in History and Classics and Literature and Inclusion.
