The first issue of the new journal ShelfLife: The Bulletin of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence, 2006 v.1, no.1, is finally out and available in the Palaeography Room at fol. CC25.9 [ShelfLife].
The journal is a new publication in the field of manuscript studies and "a meeting place for scholars, collectors & connoisseurs of manuscripts, books & the written word" with an interdisciplinary focus. It is edited by Mildred Budny and Asa Simon Mittman. The presentation of the journal is in keeping with the "style manifesto" of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence. The first issue pleases the reader with its large format, beautiful illustrations, and attention to the relationship between text and image on the page.
More information about the journal and the Research Group based in Princeton, USA, can be found on their website.
