Medieval Libraries: People, Materials, and Practices
Panel Proposal for the 37th International Congress on Medieval Studies

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 program, "Medieval Libraries: 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 david.duncan@wichita.edu.

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