Dear Colleagues and Manuscript Lovers,
I hope you are enjoying some semblance of spring as you wind down this first semester of 2017. Here the dogwood is beaming in pink and white, and a few odd irises have already made it into light and air; in a week or so they will fill the city with kaleidoscopic colors. My favorite is the purple iris, featured on so many Netherlandish panels and altarpieces.
I am starting work on the May 2017 issue of Manuscripts on My Mind, and ask you all to send me any news on exhibitions, projects, conferences, courses, calls for papers, publications, new research, burning questions, startling discoveries, anything else manuscript-related you can think of—by May 1st, 2017.
Yours in manuscript studies,
