Plan
With the presentations and related activities planned for this event, "Break-Up Books" meet "Make-Up Books".
Here we explore the phenomena of widely dispersed remnants of dismembered manuscripts and other written materials scattered at the hands of Otto F. Ege (1888-1951)and other biblioclasts, for a variety of purposes more and less laudable. We will showcase work being done in various centers and by many individuals on these materials, as part of long-term, laborious, significant, and sometimes dispersed research, which seeks to identify, reclaim, and insofar as possibly, virtually reconstrict the originals and place them in context.
Registration/Donation
The extra costs for preparing this event in several formats and from different locations lead to a registration fee of $60 US per person for General Attendance for the full 3-day event (online or in-person) and a Student Discount for official students at $35 per person. When registering, please let us know your current registered affiliation as a student.
When you register, we ask if you might please add the Eventbrite handling fee for the transaction, as a contribution to the RGME's costs for this event.
We also encourage you to consider adding a Voluntary Donation in support of the RGME, a Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization principally powered by volunteers and your contributions.
Thank you for your support and your interest in the Colloquium.
