The programme is a one-year full time MSc course designed primarily
for students who have completed a BA/BSc in linguistics,
computer science, philosophy, logic, or mathematics, and who
wish to pursue the application of formal and computational
methods to the analysis of natural language. The MSc will also
serve as the taught year of an MPhil/Ph.D research degree in
formal grammar and computational linguistics.

Subject: Rosenbach Lectures in Bibliography
***** PLEASE EXCUSE DUPLICATE POSTINGS; PLEASE FORWARD TO *****
***** POTENTIALLY INTERESTED PARTIES. *****
The 1999 Rosenbach Lectures in Bibliography will be presented in the
Lessing J. Rosenwald Gallery, 6th floor, Van Pelt-Dietrich Library,
University of Pennsylvania (*NOT* the Rosenbach Museum and Library!). The
address is 3420 Walnut Street (entrance on Locust Walk, at the statue of
the broken button), Philadelphia, PA. This year's Fellow, Brian Stock
(University of Toronto), presents three lectures under the general title
of "Minds, Bodies, Readers":
Tuesday, 23 March:
Healing, Meditation, and the History of Reading
Wednesday, 24 March:
Healers without Books, Readers without Souls
Thursday, March 25:
Clinical Therapies, Readerly Mentalities
Each lecture starts at 5.30 P.M. Receptions will follow each lecture.
Professor Stock addresses in this series the relationship between the
mind-body dualism in western medicine and the history of reading in the
early modern era. The bridge between the two is the practice of thera-
peutic meditation as a function of reading, a tradition with deep
classical and medieval roots. Its techniques were changed or abandoned
altogether by the seventeenth century and not recovered again until
relatively recently. Professor Stock's lectures explore the implications
of these changes and their consequences today.
Professor Stock's genuinely foundational writings include *The Implica-
tions of Literacy* (Princeton 1983), acclaimed by Walter Ong as "a major
seminal work" that "shows how in a deep sense the Middle Ages was by far
the most literate period that Western culture has ever known." Other
recent books include *Listening for the Text: On the Uses of the Past*
(Hopkins 1990) and *Augustine the Reader* (Harvard 1996).
