Richard Rawlinson Center
The Richard Rawlinson Center for Anglo-Saxon Studies and Manuscript Research fosters teaching and research in the history and culture of Anglo-Saxon England and in the broader field of manuscript studies.
The series Publications of the Richard Rawlinson Center published two volumes in 2008: Aedificia Nova: Studies in Honor of Rosemary Cramp, edited by Catherine E. Karkov and Helen Damico and Anglo-Saxon Books and Their Readers: Essays in Celebration of Helmut Gneuss’s "Handlist of Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts," edited by Thomas N. Hall and Donald Scragg. Forthcoming in the series is Eye and Mind: Collected Essays in Anglo-Saxon and Early Medieval Art by Robert Deshman, edited by Adam S. Cohen.
By arrangement with the Old English Division of the Modern Language Association, Old English Newsletter Subsidia continues as a Richard Rawlinson Center publication until 2010. The latest volume in the series (vol. 34) is Helmut Gneuss, Ælfric of Eynsham: His Life, Times, and Writings.
The Center sponsored a session at the 44th International Congress on Medieval Studies entitled "Saints' Lives in Anglo-Saxon England." Organized by Donald G. Scragg and Catherine E. Karkov, it included papers by Christine Rauer and Rosalind Love (the 2009 Richard Rawlinson Center Congress Speaker).
