How did I manage not to notice
this conference before now? "
Secrets and Knowledge: Medicine, Science and Commerce 1500-1800" runs from 15th-16th February 2008 at
CRASSH at Cambridge University, featuring such stars as William Eamon (whose epic "
Science and the Secrets of Nature" sits by my right shoulder) and Lauren Kassell (with whom I briefly corresponded about the Book of Dunstan back in 2001).
It sounds like a fascinating, fantastic mini-event, and I just can't wait... even though I'll probably be the only Voynichologist there. Does
anyone else see the VMs as a mid-Quattrocento example of the "books of secrets" genre too? Apparently not...
*sigh*
