For its twentieth annual conference, the European Society for Textual Scholarship is heading to Tours, the heart of the Loire Valley, from the 28th to the 30th of April 2025. The CESR – Centre d’Études Supérieures de la Renaissance at the University of Tours – welcomes the ESTS community to the birthplace of the French Renaissance to discuss Manuscripts in the Age of Print. The conference topic is inspired by the new ERC project PRIMA, which focuses on manuscript production, circulation, and consumption in Ancient Regime Europe.

The programme organised by the conference team includes various social activities, a workshop, a poster session, plenary lectures, and almost 50 oral presentations. It will also host the Board Meeting that welcomes the newly elected Board Members and Officers of the ESTS.
