In Praise of Some Grand Old Men: Some important figures in the fields of palaeography and codicology of the 19th and 20th century.

„In my talk I shall discuss some of our predecessors that were of particular relevance for the development of our discipline — and more specifically those that were of particular importance for myself and my own view of the field, such as Friedrich Adolf Ebert (1791-1834, Leipzig), Henry Bradshaw (1831-1886, Cambridge), Edward Kennard Rand (1871-1945, Harvard), Edward Johnston (1872-1944) and Jean Mallon (1904-1982).“
