Speaker: Prof. Joanna E. Story, Ph.D.
Moderator: Prof. Dr. Ursula Lenker (English Studies, LMU)
Joanna Story is Professor of Early Medieval History at the University of Leicester and currently a Visiting Fellow at CAS. The script, art, and texts of Insular manuscripts have been the subject of intensive study for centuries, but far less attention has been paid to the materials from which they were made, especially the membrane. Insular books were usually (but not always) written on calfskin rather than sheep or goat skin, as was common in Francia or Italy.
The research colloquium at CAS is primarily intended for members of the university.
Prior registration is required. For more information, please visit the CAS website.
The Center for Advanced Studies at LMU provides a forum for scientific exchange and discussion that bridges the divide between the established disciplines. Its activities are designed to promote all forms of collaborative research and to stimulate interdisciplinary communication within the University. In addition, it facilitates the integration of visiting scholars and scientists into the academic life of the University.
