SUMMARY:Timbuktu and the Best Friends of the Philologist: A Conversa
 tion with Shamil Jeppie
DESCRIPTION:However we define philology it always entails some understan
 ding of the contexts in which texts are produced and in whic
 h they circulate/d. In this lecture I shall examine some of 
 the practices that often shape such contexts through looking
  at the place of manuscripts as they travel from a writer’
 s working space into collections. Such collections are never
  stable but grow or disintegrate and in attempting to re-con
 stitute a work from disparate manuscript copies the micro-hi
 stories of manuscript movements have to be taken into accoun
 t. Working in Timbuktu’s manuscript libraries we have foun
 d the limitations of working solely from published texts and
  catalogues and similar scholarly apparatuses.
