Plan

With the presentations and related activities planned for this event, "Break-Up Books" meet "Make-Up Books".

Here we explore the phenomena of widely dispersed remnants of dismembered manuscripts and other written materials scattered at the hands of Otto F. Ege (1888-1951) and other biblioclasts, for a variety of purposes more and less laudable.

We will showcase work being done in various centers and by many individuals on these materials, as part of long-term, laborious, significant, and sometimes dispersed research, which seeks to identify, reclaim, and insofar as possibly, virtually reconstrict the originals and place them in context. Workshops and demonstrations will bring the materials to life.

Registration/Donations

Circumstances lead us to charge a modest registration fee to attend this 3-day event. The extra costs for preparations in several formats and from different locations require a registration fee (for in person or online attendance).

1) $60 US per person for General Attendance
2) Student Discount for Official Students at $35 per person. When registering for this discount, please let us know your registered affiliation as a student.

The fee is waived only for Speakers and Presiders, for whose contributions we give thanks.

When you register, we ask you please to consider adding the Eventbrite handling fee for the transaction, as a contribution to the RGME's costs for this event.

We also encourage you to consider adding a Voluntary Donation in support of the RGME, a Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization principally powered by volunteers and your contributions.

We thank you for your support and your interest in the Colloquium.
