The Cult of Saints in Medieval Iceland è l’Incontro internazionale di studio organizzato dal Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università di Torino (Torino e Vercelli 26-28 marzo 2018).
L’Incontro si prefigura come un momento dedicato a specialisti del settore, provenienti da tutto il mondo.
Tuttavia, la sessione pomeridiana vedrà protagonista indiscusso il prof. Winfried Rudolf che introdurrà i presenti alla conoscenza dei manoscritti con un intervento dal titolo Early Medieval Manuscripts in the Biblioteca Capitolare di Vercelli.
