Les lectures de réfectoire dans les monastères anglais (11e-13e siècles)

'Reading in the Refectory: monastic practice in England from the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries' by Dr Teresa Webber (Trinity College, Cambridge)

The readings delivered to monastic communities each day in the refectory, and the books used for this purpose, have received comparatively little detailed attention. This lecture will examine the surviving evidence and explain the principles underlying the selection of texts for the readings. It hopes to bring a new perspective to the history of monastic book production and the formation of book collections in England in the central middle ages.

Lecture, Thursday 18 February 2010, 6.00pm, The University of London John Coffin Memorial Palaeography Lecture. (The Chancellor's Hall, University of London Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU).

Free and open to the public. If you would like to attend please contact jon.millington@sas.ac.uk <mailto:jon.millington@sas.ac.uk> tel. +44 (0)207 664 4859.
