Please consider submitting an abstract for a "Lists as Sources" session organized by Martha Rust (New York University) and Amanda Gerber (James Madison University).
Lists as Sources
Any list serves as a direct “source” for the information it contains. A grocery list tells a shopper what to buy, but it may also serve as a source in several other fields: the history of advertising, the history of culinary trends, or the history of an individual family. This panel seeks papers that consider medieval lists that serve as sources in similarly direct and tangential ways. Such lists might include inventories, mnemonics, itineraries, bede rolls, word lists, as well as lists in literature. We especially welcome papers that take the properties of lists into account in their analyses.
