La 43e Saint Louis Conference on Manuscript studies, organisée par la Vatican Film Library à Saint Louis University (Saint Louis, Missouri, Etats-Unis d'Amérique) du 14 au 15 octobre 2016, lance un appel à communication pour plusieurs sessions, dont une sur le thème suivant :Manuscripts for Travelers: Directions, Descriptions, and MapsThis session focuses on manuscripts of travel and accounts of places and geographies intended for practical use: perhaps as guidance for a journey; descriptions of topography and marvels, or as travel accounts of pilgrimage, mission, exploration, and commercial or diplomatic expeditions. They could constitute itineraries, guidebooks, narratives, surveys, chorographies, or practical maps such as city plans, local maps, or portolan charts. We invite papers that examine any of these aspects of manuscripts associated with travel, with particular attention to their production, illustration and decoration, use, transmission, or preservation.L'ensemble de l'appel peut se lire ici.Les propositions doivent être envoyées avant le 15 mars 2016, via le formulaire en ligne.
