    Dear Clusterites,

    The July conference for NEER commences today and in the preceding hours I have been attending a workshop to learn how to use the Confluence software.

     More later,

    Hello everyone --following up from last month's excellent adventure, I'm posting the two images from BL Add 32587 in the "attachments" section in the hopes that you can have a better look than you could on the screen in Hobart. Notes & Queries just this morning finally said they'd like to publish this material, so I want to get to the tidying up.

    MAIN QUESTION: is the hand of the second explicit on the recto identical to either/both of the ones doing the Latin on the upper left of the verso? (And while we're at it, are those two Latin tags on the verso in the same hand? The eds for the Piers Plowman Electronic Archive say no, different; in my paper as it stands I speculate yes, same, in part because of the materials copied. Obviously the ink is different.)

    Thanks for your thoughts. [Especially you, Linne!]

    Hi KNOWers.

    It's taken me a while, but I still seem to be the first to remember to post a list of "things I gained" from the November symposium (unless I'm in the wrong spot)! See below:

    • A great opportunity to present my ideas in a public forum which forced me to get my house in order on that front. There's nothing like the pressure to perform for clarifying the mind - so hearty thanks for that!
    • Useful questions following my talk, including some which have already led to new findings.
    • Great contacts and multiple offers of handy references to advance my work. How can one quantify the value of networking?!?
    • Important information regarding chances to work in the archives in York which I hope to take up in future.

    Thanks to everyone who attended.

    Kathleen 

    P.S. Lawrence -- not my area of expertise: but my congratulations on the Notes & Queries news! It was a great talk!
