Huw Grange organised the session ‘Spreading the Light: Transmission and Reception of the Vernacular Elucidarium’, which was sponsored by the Centre for Medieval & Early Modern Studies, University of Kent, and chaired by Thomas Lawrence from the Centre. Huw and Sarah gave papers on the French and English manuscripts respectively, and were joined by Sarah Bowden (King’s College London) who spoke about the reception of the Elucidarium in 12th-century German vernacular texts.
