Marginalia and Markings: Reading Early Modern and Medieval Readers
The National Library of New Zealand, Wellington
Saturday 11 February, 2017

Presenters include: Professor Lorna Hutson (Oxford), Associate Professor Rosalind Smith (Newcastle, Australia), Dr Malcolm Mercer (Royal Armouries, Tower of London), Dr Anthony Tedeschi (National Library of New Zealand)

A Postgraduate Advanced Training Seminar (PATS) will be held on the day following the ANZAMEMS conference in Wellington, on Saturday 11 February (9-5pm).

This PATS workshop will maximise the presence of multiple international experts in Wellington for the ANZAMEMS biennial conference, and link their scholarship on marginalia and markings in early books to the special collections of the National Library of New Zealand. Each of the presenters has distinct expertise in working with marginalia and other reader markings in medieval and early modern manuscripts and printed books, and the National Library’s collections provide ample materials for hands-on examination and discussion by PATS participants.

This one-day workshop will take the form of speaker presentations in the morning, followed by student-focused workshop sessions in the afternoon. Numbers are strictly limited to 20 students.

Morning tea, afternoon tea, and lunch will be provided for all participants.

A strictly limited number of bursaries will be available to support postgraduate student attendance at the PATS. Applications for these bursaries can be submitted with your application for the PATS.
