SUMMARY:DAY ONE: The Scribal Mind: Textual Criticism in Antiquity
DTSTART:20170921T154500Z
DTEND:20170921T203000Z
DESCRIPTION:The intellectual exercise of textual criticism is far from
  a modern invention. Without the regularity provided by printing\, the
 re were constantly different texts in circulation\, and it was up to l
 earned individuals to figure out how to make sense of them. While no m
 anual on the assembly and editing of ancient manuscripts existed in an
 cient Egypt\, Mesopotamia\, or China\, scribes diligently worked throu
 gh copies of the Egyptian Book of the Dead\, Sumerian Incantations\, o
 r Buddhist manuscripts\, and noted variants as they went along. It is 
 the intention of this conference to draw out the details concerning ho
 w those scribes produced a text tradition\, added commentary to new ed
 itions or marginalia to old ones\, and what these practices might say 
 about the culture in which the scribes were working. Please note that 
 separate registration is required for DAY ONE (9/21/17)\, KEYNOTE LECT
 URE (9/21/17)\, and DAY TWO (9/22/17).
