The Scripta project and eScripta team will be represented at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds this year. Scripta is co-sponsoring a strand of three sessions on 'Materiality in Series', and two members of Scripta will be giving papers as part of a strand sponsored by Digital Medievalist. Details are given below. Of course these represent just a very small fraction of the many interesting papers and strands at the IMC, so we very much hope to see you at what looks like being some extremely productive discussions. Materiality in Series I: Serial Manuscript ProductionThursday 4 July, 9:00 – 10:30 (Session 1526)New Insights into Serial Manuscript Production in the Early Middle Ages (Tino Licht, Heidelberg) Individuality in the Decor of Manuscripts Produced in Series (Lisa Horstmann, Heidelberg)Manuscript Production of Verse Romances in French: Re-Grouping Objects, Re-Thinking Texts (Pietro Andrea Martina, Zürich)Materiality in Series, II: Text Series in Manuscripts Thursday 4 July, 11:15 – 12:45 (Session 1626)The Lives of Saints in Series: A Perspective from Old French Manuscripts (Ariane Pinche, Paris)A Reasoned Series of Texts?: The 9th and the 10th Fascicule of the Manuscript Firenze, Biblioteca Nazionale, MS Banco Rari 217 (Nicolò Premi, Paris)Songs in Series: Order and Distribution of Peirol's Compositions in Old Occitan Sources (Stefano Milonia, Rome)Materiality in Series, III: Serial Analysis and MaterialityThursday 4 July, 14:15 – 15:45 (Session 1626)Can We Explore the Materiality of Charters Using Digital Methods?
