2012 Student Presentation Prize
The CSM executive committee is pleased to announce that the 2012 prize for the best student paper delivered at our annual meeting has been awarded to Jenny Weston (University of Leiden), for her paper entitled “Books on the Move: the Exchange of Manuscripts between Monasteries in the Long Twelfth Century”. Congratulations, Jenny! Abstract: With the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, a new intellectual causeway was established between England and the European continent: books began to move freely through a complex network of lending, borrowing, and copying—organized and facilitated by Benedictine communities on either side of the channel.

The undersigned represented the CSM/SCM at this meeting especially at the Forum for National Associations, where some 20 medievalists discussed international cooperation. It was agreed that the member associations will do their best to disseminate information on CARMEN’s activities and, in turn, the network will be open for announcements or research proposals from the different local constituencies. The meeting was insofar interesting that not only Europe but also Latin America and Australia-New Zealand were represented and a colleague from China, planning to establish a network there, also attended. Plans were discussed to resurrect the long-defunct Répertoire internationale des médiévistes (last published in 1987), of course, on-line. An interesting, though somewhat rambling, round table discussion was held on the question of “Globalization and…
