          RIP Professor Richard Sharpe

           

          SELIM Society greatly regrets the untimely death of Professor Richard Sharpe. Professor Sharpe was one of the Plenary Speakers at SELIM 31. At the time of his death, he was indexing his Clóliosta and was in talks with editors about his Lyell Lectures on Libraries and Books in Medieval England. Both will be forthcoming next year. We shall treasure the time we spent with him in Valladolid and feel truly honoured to have had with us such an outstanding scholar and human being. R.I.P.
