<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify">The Bailiwick of Ivyeinrust will be holding Thélème at Penn on August 20<sup>th</sup>,
2016 at the rare books library of the University of Pennsylvania. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify">If you liked, or were sad to miss, the 'Voyages of Discovery: An Arts
& Science Colloquium' held in Carolingia in October 2014, this is an event
of similar inspiration. Come and talk with people of same interests about what
you have been working on. Take that opportunity to discuss what worked, what
didn’t and what could. Exchange ideas, notes, sources and initiate
collaborations. This is not a competition but the occasion to share our SCA research.
While <span class="">presentations</span> on all subjects are welcome, inspired by the context of the
library, we are particularly interested in having a track fully dedicated to
the making of the books (making parchment, paper, ink, preparing pigments,
calligraphy, printing, bookbinding…)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The format of the day is as follows:</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>- Lecture-style
<span class="">presentations</span> with a question-and-answer session at the end; <span class="">presentation</span> slots
are one half-hour, with fifteen minutes of <span class="">presentation</span> and ten minutes of
question-and-answer. Those <span class="">presenters</span> who are comfortable with a longer
<span class="">presentation</span> are welcome to request two adjoining slots, <span class="">for</span> a forty-minute
<span class="">presentation</span> and fifteen minutes of question-and-answer. There are a finite
number of slots, and we will start adding classes on a rolling timeline as we
receive and review proposals. Please send any and all proposals to Mistress
Lissa Underhill at <a href="mailto:laralu@gmail.com" target="_blank">laralu@gmail.com</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>- A poster session.
There is some space available <span class="">for</span> poster display. If there is interest, there
will be a hall set up to display poster-size <span class="">presentations</span> of research topics
(either hanging or free-standing trifolds). There will be an hour during the
day while the posters are attended by their authors; the room will be open
throughout the day <span class="">for</span> interested folks to walk through and read at their
leisure. There is no limit on the number of poster slots. Please send any and
all poster proposals to Mistress Lissa Underhill at <a href="mailto:laralu@gmail.com" target="_blank">laralu@gmail.com</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>- Manuscript
interaction room. This is the rare books library and, with advance warning,
Penn’s manuscript relevant to the classes will be available to peruse. There is
only room <span class="">for</span> us to pull about 8 books. So, early requests and ones that tie a
manuscript to a class will get priority.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">- Breakout area and lounge space <span class="">for</span> conversation and
further exploration of topics that caught your interest during one <span class="">presentation</span>
or another. Also feel free to bring your favorite reference books to show
others.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because we will be presenting our research with all the
modern tools of the presenter's art, this demo is in modern dress. The
interested general public is encouraged to attend. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
