This interdisciplinary conference will aim to break new ground in
integrating recent advances in the art historical and technical
analyses of illuminated manuscripts with research in social and
intellectual history.  While Western illuminated manuscripts from
the 6th - 16th centuries will form a major focus of discussion, the
conference will also include papers on Byzantine, Islamic and
Pre-Columbian material.
