Introduction
About nine years ago, over a good and lengthy lunch, three of us (Carol Fisher, Kathleen Scott, and Molly Smith) with an interest in medieval studies, came up with what we believed to be a workable plan for bringing well-known medieval scholars to Michigan State University. At the time, M.S.U. was reeling from budget cuts and we realized that chances were slim for major funding, but we knew that each year scholars in a wide range of fields met in Kalamazoo for a truly international medieval conference. Why not, we asked, piggy-back on this conference and have a one-day medieval symposium or, as Robert Calkins has since dubbed it, the Pre-Zoo? Without paying travel costs, we would be able to offer honoraria to distinguished speakers already planning to be in the area and thus keep our budget realistic. Since one of us had just taken a position at the Kresge Art Museum, it seemed possible to use the museum as the site and thus the symposium became known as the Kresge Art Museum Medieval Symposium. Now in its ninth year, the symposium has hosted a series of prestigious scholars in medieval studies from around the United States and Europe. Medieval and Renaissance scholars from M.S.U. are invited to host and respond and they have consistently offered thoughtful commentary. Suggestions for focus and themes have been helpfully contributed by our informal advisory committee made tip of Professor Webster Smith and Art Librarian, Patricia Thompson, both of M.S.U.
Several years ago, two of us (Carol Fisher and Kathleen Scott) decided that many of the Kresge symposia contributions were important enough to find a larger audience. While realizing that some articles might have been committed to other sources, we began to discuss seriously the publication of a selection of the papers. Dr. Fred Bohm, Director of the Michigan State University Press, proved willing to

champion the idea and to lend not only editorial but moral support to it. The project has been realized in this volume as well in as a separate occasional paper on the Magdeburg ivories by Dr. Margaret Gibson, formerly of St. Peter's College, Oxford, also published by the M.S.U. Press.
At the time that we began to structure these symposia, those of us involved felt that objects or texts, to be best understood, needed to be set in the context of the times for which they were made. We thought that a multidisciplinary approach, as well as a thematic one, would be the best way to reach this goal and allow the objects to be seen on a variety of levels. To this end, we chose such focuses as art and the medieval book, art and travel, art and patronage, art and mortality, and even art and love for our yearly symposium. Although we selected the papers contained in this volume with this concept in mind, the present volume is arranged in a somewhat different manner. The contributing studies having fallen by their nature into the following themes: book production; fourteenth-century manuscripts; aspects of iconography; and patronage.
