I wonder how many of these will be speaking in parallell sessions. Or will we stay up all night? I actually sent in a proposal to Juan Garces but that was a bit too late (although he hasn't actually replied yet). However, my administration in Lund has told me that I can use the funding for SBL in Rome for the plane trip via London. And I actually got that funding today - hooray!
ReplyDeleteLoads. There was a draft plan which had most of the sessions in parallel. I suspect that one reason why we don't have a programme for the conference yet is the conceptual difficulty in accommodating all the papers they have either requested or accepted into the available time - since some of us are likely to be interested in almost all the papers and find having to miss half of them a bit frustrating.
ReplyDeleteOf course I could be wrong. I was once. (well, I thought I was.)
ReplyDeletePerhaps some can be read on a pub nearby?
ReplyDelete...for example, that one on scribe D. After all, A, B and C must come first.
ReplyDeleteSadly scribe C disappeared sometime between 1910 and 1934.
ReplyDeleteUgh! I have Summer classes in the US until August and won't be in the UK until September. I can't believe I have to miss the conference!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be missed Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteNot by me he won't. Imposter.
ReplyDeleteI can't see my name on the list of speakers. I'm usually down to give a talk at most conferences.
ReplyDeleteA.N.Other
I cannot attend. Nevertheless, in honor of the conference, I am working on something about Codex Sinaiticus to post online.
ReplyDelete(In other news: would anyone be interested in double-checking the new "Kephalaia in Mark" document in the Files over at the TC-Alternate Yahoo discussion-board?)

Finished! I have had two essays in mind about Codex Sinaiticus, and the first one -- a brief but detailed investigation into the contents of the original pages at the end of Mark and the beginning of Luke -- is now available in the Files at TC-Alternate, under the title, "A Textual Repair in Sinaiticus." It is formatted as a Microsoft Word document. Enjoy!
