Description

This session celebrates the life and scholarship of A. I. Doyle, one of the great paleographers (perhaps the greatest) of the twentieth century, who died in February 2018. The papers respond to important essays written by Doyle and also his astute observations, carefully analyzing where MSS were produced and who produced them. Martha W. Driver
