Remaking the Book will gather representatives from institutions in Canada
and the United States who hold collections of medieval manuscripts compiled
by Otto F. Ege. We will discuss how to create an “Otto Ege Medieval
Manuscript Database” whose purpose will be to digitally reconstruct
some of the books from which the pages were originally cut, including
the valuable “Beauvais Missal” of northern France from the
late 13th century. Scholars with expertise in fundamental aspects of
the Ege manuscripts will speak about manuscript production and circulation,
and about the process by which Otto Ege collected, disassembled and
sold the leaves. Concurrent with the Symposium is Scattered
Leaves, a public exhibit of the University of Saskatchewan’s
Ege manuscripts at the University’s Gordon Snelgrove Gallery from
June 7-23 and a public lecture on the manuscripts and their collector
by Dr. Barbara Shailor, former Director of Yale’s Beinecke Rare
Book and Manuscript Library, on the evening of June 13th.
