CONGRESS CANCELED Bi- and Tri-Lingual Manuscripts and Early Printed Books
Description
Speakers will discuss works written in more than one language in the same volume or volumes, as well as texts made for and by women. Books of Hours and Apocalypse MSS that combine Latin with French will be among those considered. Medieval writers and scribes crossed linguistic boundaries and were often adept in two or more languages, confident to compose and write in them, suggesting sometimes specific linguistic choices for types of text along with assumptions that readers would be equally skilled.
