The purpose of the Colloquium is to provide a forum for graduate students working on different aspects of the medieval sacra pagina to present and discuss their work in the presence of faculty and peers. The main focus of the meetings will be on student presentations, circulated beforehand, to which faculty will respond. In addition, there will be one or more lectures and/or workshops given by faculty members on relevant themes. The Colloquium thus provides students with a valuable opportunity to discuss their work with experts who they do not encounter on a regular basis, and to interact with fellow students working on related topics. The overarching goal of the Colloquium is to create a solid foundation for the revision of the role the Bible played in the development of theology in the Middle Ages and beyond.
