CFP for International Medieval Congress 2019 at the University of Leeds, July 1-4 2019
The session proposes a fresh look at carpet pages in manuscript books across the medieval world including examples from Jewish, Muslim, and Christian contexts. We seek papers examining the sources for and functions of particular carpet pages as well as papers questioning the paradigm of the “carpet page” as it developed in the scholarly literature.
Please submit a working title and a 250-word proposal for a 20 minute paper by September 10.
