Henry Ravenhall, assistant professor at the University of Berkeley, brings expertise in medieval manuscripts and literary culture. He focuses on material practices and textual transmission in the Middle Ages.
This lecture examines touch and the performativity of the manuscript through Richard de Fournival and his contemporaries, exploring how bodily interaction, annotation and reading practices shape meaning and authorship. Ravenhall discusses methodological approaches that combine codicology and literary analysis to reveal new perspectives on medieval textuality.
