Subject: Montefiascone Project
Montefiascone Project 2006
Montefiascone is a medieval walled city situated on a huge lake
about half way between Rome and Siena. Each summer conservators,
archivists, art historians, librarians, and others interested in the
history and the structure of the book, meet to participate in
classes which are held within the city walls. There are four week
long courses and participants may come for one or more weeks.
Summer School Programme 2006
Re-creating the medieval Palette
31 July-4 August, 2006
Participants will study the history, chemistry and significance of the
pigments used by the medieval artist. Rocks and minerals, plants and
animal material will be studied and each of the
colours will be made according to original recipes and painted out in
traditional binding materials.
No previous experience is necessary to do this course.
Course Tutor:
Cheryl Porter
Freelance Conservator, England
Medieval Limp Vellum Book Structures: A North European Style
7-11 August, 2006
This style of limp vellum binding is sewn through the cover with a
rigid spine support, made from horn, wood or leather. The
sewing is either link stitch or long stitch. Participants will make
historical models, focusing on specific details, e.g. the use of a
spine plate, signature make up, vellum guards and
weaving over sewing thread and study how these differentiate this
structure and make it more durable than the more common
limp structure with no spine support.
Participants will need some basic bookbinding tools and some
knowledge of binding would be helpful, but is not essential.
Course Tutor:
Adam Larsson
Book Conservator at Uppsala University Library, Sweden
Archival and Account Book Bindings: History, structure, materials
and decoration
14-17 August, 2006
Participants will make a historic model, studying the sewing of the
text block, endbands preparation, parchment cover, cover
decoration with alum tawed strips and samples of decorated
edges.
Included in the week will be illustrated lectures on the Vatican
Archives: a short historical introduction, main collections,
binding styles etc.
Some bookbinding experience is desirable, though not essential.
Course Tutor:
Enrico Flaiani
Head of the Conservation Workshop of the Vatican Secret
Archives
Syriac Bookbinding
21-25 August, 2006
Syriac is the dialect of Eastern Aramaic, spoken in the early
centuries of the Christian era in the area of Edessa, present
day Northern Syria and Iraq and Southern Turkey. The week long course
is an introduction to the history of the Syriac book.
Through a series of lectures with slides and practical
demonstrations, the student will gain an understanding of the
construction of a Syriac binding including sewing, board
preparation, endbanding and covering. All the necessary material
required for making the book will be provided in order for
participants to then re create the structure during the week.
Participants will be required to bring some basic bookbinding
equipment (to be specified). Some knowledge of the history of
bookbinding is desirable, but is not essential. The course will be of
interest to book binders, conservators, design binders and those
interested in the history of the book. A pre course
reading list is available.
Course Tutors:
John Mumford
Head of Book Conservation at the British Library
Caroline Checkley Scott
Senior Conservator at the Wellcome Trust Library

buy materials for the Barbarigo library, the archives and
their collections.
Classes are from 9am to 1.30pm, and afternoons can be used for
private study or for finishing work, though many prefer to take
advantage of the spectacular setting to swim in the local, clean,
huge volcanic lake, or to explore the town, with its Romanesque and late
medieval architecture and friendly inhabitants. For much of the time, the
library will be open and participants may wish to help
with the cataloguing programme and other preservation / conservation
initiatives in progress.

GL8 ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
Eighth International Conference on Grey Literature
http://www.textrelease.com/pages/3
"Harnessing the Power of Grey"
4-5 December 2006
Lindy C. Boggs International Conference Center
New Orleans, Louisiana USA
To:
Authors, Publishers, Librarians, Web Editors, Researchers, Policy Makers,
Information Managers, Brokers and Vendors, Intermediaries, Information
Technicians, Information Specialists, Journalists, and other Information
Professionals
The Eighth International Conference on Grey Literature offers a global
platform situated and constructed for the R&D community. One that is
focussed on the state of the art in grey literature with applications and
innovative uses in and for science and technology. The past three
conferences in the GL-Series have brought to the forefront grey literature
in networked environments, works-in-progress, and open access to
resources. GL8 must now harness all of this in an effort to demonstrate
the power of grey to other information professionals as well as policy and
decision makers, funding bodies and new investors.
GL8 provides a solid platform in a metropolitan city devastated by
Hurricane Katrina. This city and costal region is now in the throws of
reconstruction unprecedented in recent history. The grey literature
community is offered a tiered challenge this December in New Orleans. They
are asked to demonstrate the state of the art in their field. They are
encouraged to incorporate new and emerging areas in grey S&T. And, they
are charged to address echelons within their own organizations responsible
for the appropriation of material and human resources.
"Harnessing the Power of Grey" is outlined here by four main themes:
ˇ Collection Development, Collection Policies, and Collection Rescue ˇ
Metadata schemes, Repositories & Software, Standards & Quality Assessment
ˇ Economics of grey, funding sources, production costs, pricing,
investment ˇ Licensing, intellectual property, copyright, and other
rights issues
GL8 will provide the R&D community with a variety of settings in the
presentation of their research results. These range from plenary and
parallel sessions to panels and roundtables. On behalf of the Program
Committee, I take this opportunity to welcome your contribution in
finalizing the conference program.
GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS
Participants who seek to present a paper at GL8 are invited to submit an
English abstract between 400-500 words. The abstract should deal with the
problem/goal, the research method/procedure, as well as costs related to
the project, and the anticipated results/conclusions of the research. The
abstract should include the title of the paper, the names of the
author(s), and full address information.
DUE DATE AND FORMAT USED FOR SUBMISSION
The abstract must be emailed on or before May 1st 2006 in MS Word. The
author will receive written verification upon its receipt. The GL8 Program
Committee will then use these abstracts to finalize the Conference
Program.
ABSTRACT OF YOUR PAPER
Abstracts are the only tangible source, which will allow the Program
Committee to guarantee content and balance in the sessions, panels, and
roundtables. Every effort should be made to reflect the content of your
work in the abstract submitted. Abstracts not in compliance with the
Guidelines (see above) may be returned to the author for revision.
