The intention was to discuss classroom texts and practice in Graeco-Roman, medieval, and Renaissance times, with particular focus on the relationship between extant manuscripts, incunables, and cinquecentine of works written in those periods and used in classrooms; commentaries and notes upon them; and the actual procedure, format, and content of the classrooms that used and produced them. There was to be a concentration upon the trivium (grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic) and the place of the Graeco-Roman works relevant to these studies in the medieval and Renaissance classrooms, with other related contributions welcome. A full report is available.
