<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify"><span class="">The</span> Bailiwick of Ivyeinrust will be holding <span class="">Thélème</span> at Penn on August 20<sup>th</sup>,
2016 at <span class="">the</span> rare books library of <span class="">the</span> 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, <span class="">the</span> '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 <span class="">the</span> occasion to share our SCA research.
While presentations on all subjects are welcome, inspired by <span class="">the</span> context of <span class="">the</span>
library, we are particularly interested in having a track fully dedicated to
<span class="">the</span> making of <span class="">the</span> books (making parchment, paper, ink, preparing pigments,
calligraphy, printing, bookbinding…)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="">The</span> format of <span class="">the</span> day is as follows:</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>- Lecture-style
presentations with a question-and-answer session at <span class="">the</span> end; presentation slots
are one half-hour, with fifteen minutes of presentation and ten minutes of
question-and-answer. Those presenters who are comfortable with a longer
presentation are welcome to request two adjoining slots, for a forty-minute
presentation 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 for poster display. If there is interest, there
will be a hall set up to display poster-size presentations of research topics
(either hanging or free-standing trifolds). There will be an hour during <span class="">the</span>
day while <span class="">the</span> posters are attended by their authors; <span class="">the</span> room will be open
throughout <span class="">the</span> day for interested folks to walk through and read at their
leisure. There is no limit on <span class="">the</span> 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 <span class="">the</span> rare books library and, with advance warning,
Penn’s manuscript relevant to <span class="">the</span> classes will be available to peruse. There is
only room for us to pull about 8 books. So, early requests and ones that tie a
manuscript to a class will get priority.</p>

further exploration of topics that caught your interest during one presentation
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 <span class="">the</span>
modern tools of <span class="">the</span> presenter's art, this demo is in modern dress. <span class="">The</span>
interested general public is encouraged to attend. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
