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, which hopefully will be soon forthcoming. We shall treasure the time we spent with him in Valladolid and feel very lucky to have had with us such an outstanding human being and scholar. R.I.P.
