The 40th Annual Saint Louis Conference on Manuscript Studies will be held October 11-12, 2013, at Saint Louis Louis University. Organized annually since 1974 by the Vatican Film Library — part of the Saint Louis University Libraries Special Collections — and its journal Manuscripta, the two-day conference presents papers on a wide variety of topics relating to medieval and Renaissance manuscript studies — paleography, codicology, illumination, book production, text editing and transmission, library history, and more. This year’s guest speakers are Thomas Kren and Derek Pearsall.
