SUMMARY:Joanna Story\, University of Leicester: 'Insular Manuscripts – some new approaches to some old questions.'
DESCRIPTION:More than 600 manuscripts survive that were written between c. 600–850 in the Irish or Anglo-Saxon kingdoms\, or in continental monasteries founded by missionaries from the islands of Britain or Ireland in the seventh or eighth centuries. Defined by characteristic script\, as well as decoration\, these manuscripts are graphic testimony to the contribution of the islands to post-Roman European culture. Digitisation has now reached critical mass\, facilitating comparative analysis in ways not previously possible. Other new methods\, including biocodicological analysis (proteomics\, aDNA\, microbiomes) and new visualisation techniques\, open up exciting new avenues for research around mobility (of people / books / cows)\, methods of making\, as well as the reading and reception of Insular manuscripts in the age of Charlemagne.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is in association with the Institute of English Studies. Registration is required for all events and booking must be made via the IES website: Insular Manuscripts – Some New Approaches to Some Old Questions | The Institute of English Studies (sas.ac.uk)

SUMMARY:Dr Harry Spillane (University of Cambridge): ‘The Bishops’ Bible\, Archbishop Matthew Parker\, and the Elizabethan Church’
DESCRIPTION:The Bishops’ Bible\, which was first printed in 1568\, has frequently been cast as a useless and widely unpopular translation of the Bible into English. However\, by exploring what the intended purposes of the Bishops’ Bible were\, and by paying attention to the wealth of images\, prefaces\, maps\, diagrams and heraldic devices within it\, a different story emerges. This talk explores the role that Archbishop Matthew Parker played in the creation of the Bishops’ Bible and sheds new light on this neglected version of the English Bible. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket on Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than Monday 1 May. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually and we need each attendee’s name for security purposes. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.

SUMMARY:Peter Lake (Vanderbilt): 'On Laudianism'
DESCRIPTION:Peter Lake\, Professor of History at Vanderbilt\, is one of the most distinguished writers on English religion after the Reformation. Later this year Cambridge University Press will publish Peter’s latest book\, Piety\, polemic and politics during the personal rule of Charles I. The central argument is that ecclesiastical politics under Charles I and Archbishop Laud in the 1630s represented a ‘full-scale making’ and ‘true reformation’ of the English church\, rejecting much that had passed as normative since the mid-16th century.  The forthcoming volume shows how the Laudians’ famous obsession with the beauty of holiness contained a plan for the reinvigoration of both the church and the state. It represented a self-conscious reaction against the long-term evils of puritanism and of the immediate political crisis of the 1620s. On Laudianism explores how this intensely controversial movement\, and the strong reactions it provoked\, helped cause the English Civil War\, but over the long term provided one of the visions of the national church\, one that has been in contention to define ‘Anglicanism’ ever since. \n\n\n\nPeter will discuss his findings with two fellow scholars of the period – Ken Fincham (University of Kent) and Anthony Milton (University of Sheffield\, to be followed by a general discussion.  \n\n\n\nIn association with the University of London research seminar on the Religious History of Britain\, 1500-1800. All are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than Monday 19 June.

SUMMARY:Charlie Rozier (UEA): Depicting Historical time in Anglo-Norman Manuscripts
DESCRIPTION:This talk will attempt to answer a single\, fundamental question: how does a medieval scribe draw time? Specifically\, it aims to consider how decisions regarding the placement of historical text on the pages of the codex were effective in communicating the passage of historical time to their readers\, according to the purposes of the text. Discussion focuses on examples from a corpus of historical texts and chronicles produced in England c.1100-1200\, which was a key period in the development of English historical writing and thought.  \n\n\n\nA number of manuscript case studies (including key examples from the collections of Lambeth Palace Library) will be used to identify the layers of decisions that scribes took in presenting historical time within the codex\, to highlight the varying ways in which textual layout influenced audience engagement with the progression of historical time. Ultimately\, Rozier hopes to show some of the ways in which Anglo-Norman scribes and their readers understood the concept of historical time\, and through this\, to better understand some of the key the principles that underpinned the writing of some of the most important works in the development of English historical thought to the end of the Middle Ages. \n\n\n\nTickets are available to book via Eventbrite. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 29 April .

SUMMARY:Julia King: Remember the Scrybeler: Syon Abbey’s Books at Lambeth Palace Library
DESCRIPTION:Syon Abbey was England’s first and only Birgittine abbey\, founded by Henry V in 1415. By the time of the Dissolution\, it had become one of the richest monastic houses in England. The Abbey was a double house of men and women\, but the women’s community was far larger and\, during its existence\, the Abbey was headed exclusively by Abbesses. \n\n\n\nThe Birgittine order followed by the inhabitants of Syon Abbey forbade any material possessions other than books. Under the guidance of its several abbesses\, this exception led to the development of one of the largest libraries in England\, and a community where reading and piety were intertwined throughout daily life. In her lecture\, Julia King will comment on the cultures of women’s reading and writing that flourished at the Abbey\, using evidence from books in Lambeth Palace Library’s collections. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 22 October. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.
