Abstract

This session explores religious dissidence through manuscript evidence. Papers will examine both works which were considered suspect or heretical and works concerned with attacking and refuting heterodox ideas and texts. The session aims to emphasise the importance of the manuscript as a physical historical object and how close manuscript work contributes to the history of heresy and its repression.
