Avril Henry, of Exeter University in England, recently asked on SEDIT-L whether any of the subscribers there were codicologists. She is a medievalist with questions in this area, and is seeking others with the same interests. I promised I would post a note on REED-L inquiring whether anyone knew of a list that deals primarily with manuscripts in the period before 1700, or would like to form one. I am not offering myself as listowner, nor is Avril, but perhaps someone else is intrigued by the possibility. PS: for those who undoubtedly will ask, SEDIT-L is the list run by the Association for Documentary Editing in the USA, a society composed chiefly of editors in the post-1800 era, often editing collections of US statesmens' letters. ******************************************************************************* Germaine Warkentin [log in to unmask] English, Victoria College, University of Toronto *******************************************************************************
