Third Workshop

The Venues for Scholarly Output : Collections, Treatises, Textbooks, Archives

Venue: Junior Parlour, Trinity College, Cambridge
Date: 25 June 2016 (Saturday)

Organizer at location: Richard Sergeantson, Cambridge

Research Question

The third topic examines co-operative scholarly outputs, including manuscript collections, books and other knowledge commodities. Did dedications connect institutions, such as books that school teachers wrote and dedicated to university professors, and vice versa? Did school teachers use teaching tools designed by university professors? Were religiously induced barriers maintained in all cases of co-operative usage? How did university professors deal with the writings of their colleagues from school?
