Next week at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds, UK, Francesca Tinti will be speaking on a topic intimately connected with the LEMC project: ‘The Interplay between Latin and Old English in the Worcester Episcopal Leases’. This paper is part of a session she has organised on The Languages of Anglo-Saxon Diplomatics (session 601, Tuesday 7 July, 11.15am), which will also feature talks by Robert Gallagher (Cambridge) on ‘Latin, Old English and Documentary Practice in the Age of Alfred the Great and Edward the Elder’ and Kathryn Lowe (Glasgow) on ‘Care and Community: Translation and Transmission of Charter Material from Bury St Edmunds’. The session will be moderated by Charles Insley (Manchester). All are warmly invited to attend.
Elsewhere at the IMC, Edward Roberts will be speaking about the diplomas of the West Frankish king Louis IV in ‘Religious Patronage in the Reign of Louis IV’, which is part of a session he has organised on Texts and Politics in the Long Tenth Century (session 539, Tuesday 7 July, 9.00am).
We – Francesca, Edward and Kate Wiles – will be in attendance all week at the IMC and warmly invite anybody interested in our project to introduce themselves or get in touch. Soon we’ll be announcing details for strands of papers connected with LEMC in 2016 at both the Kalamazoo International Congress on Medieval Studies and Leeds IMC; if you are interested in participating in either of these and will be in Leeds next week, we would love to meet you!
