19 Jan 2014: Quiggin Lecture, University of Cambridge
The sixteenth E.C. Quiggin Memorial Lecture, which was given by Mark Stansbury, was launched in the Department of Anglo-Saxon Norse and Celtic of the University of Cambridge on 4 December 2014. Entitled Iona Scribes and the Rhetoric of Legibility, the lecture examines the role of scribes in both writing and composing Latin, focusing on the Life of Columba and its oldest manuscript, Schaffhausen, Stadtbibliothek, Generalia 1. The lecture looks at the kinds of evidence that manuscripts can offer and argues that the choice of layout and script described by Malcolm Parkes as the ‘grammar of legibility’ can also be seen from a rhetorical point of view as scribes actively create meaning rather than simply transmitting it. The text of the lecture and appendix are available on academia.edu.
