Dr. (redacted) has expressed interest in teaching a course on manuscript studies in the Spring of 2010. The course would consist of equal parts of paleography and textual editing. This promises to be a rare and valuable opportunity to take a course not regularly offered from an accomplished textual scholar and medievalist. If you are interested in taking this course, please let me know as soon as possible. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for this e-mail. I am concerned that I will be accidentally enrolled in this course, and that I will be somehow unable to ever withdraw from it. I am willing to do just about anything to avoid this very remote possibility.
