About this event

Let's Talk About Paratext Lecture Series at Chester Beatty with Dr Kelsie Rodenbiker, Assistant Professor of New Testament, University of Copenhagen.

This lecture explores vividness in connection with the experience of reading manuscripts and remembering their content. Do our minds remember information better when text is written as direct speech from a particular person’s perspective, rather than as impersonal description?

We will explore some of the implications of these possibilities when it comes to reading manuscripts and the sacred literature they transmit.

FREE Talk: No booking required for onsite talk.
