inform and shape intellectual activities of many kinds. I will offer an
overview of the principal forms of note-taking in use in the European tradition
(with an emphasis on pre-modern and early modern Europe) and suggest how these
methods of working affected modes of writing. And I am eager to discuss how
digital tools today are both extending past practices and transforming them.</span><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; font-family: Arial; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"></span></p>
