New article on Caroline minuscule in Werden
by Anna Dorofeeva 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

I'm delighted to announce the publication of the first article in the project 'A Partial Survey of Continental Scribal Centres Writing Caroline Minuscule, c. 700 – 1000', run by the Network for the Study of Caroline Minuscule (NSCM), at http://litteracarolina.upenndigitalscholarship.org/ survey-project/scribal-centres <http://litteracarolina.upenndigitalscholarship.org>. The article on Werden, by Max Schmitz, is now available to download under a CC BY-NC-CA license. It brings together a full list of the fragments and manuscripts written in Caroline minuscule associated with the scribal centre at Werden to c. 1000, all searchable on our online database, making it a valuable resource. A full introduction to the project is also downloadable; it is recommended that you read this first, as it contains important information about the structure of the articles. Forthcoming articles will cover Freising, Metz and Lorsch. Several scribal centres are still unassigned, and expressions of interest for these are welcome; please visit the website for more details. Our grateful thanks go to APICES for the J.M.M. Hermans grant, which funded this project. In addition to the survey project, the NSCM website now offers a brief guide to Caroline minuscule script, as well as a blog series on European research libraries, written as a guide to visiting and working in these libraries by researchers who have travelled there in person. These may be of particular interest to students and early-career scholars. Best wishes, Anna Dorofeeva carolineminuscule(a)gmail.com

CfP: 'The Origins, Effects and Memory of Caroline Minuscule’, Leeds IMC 2018 (NSCM)
by Anna Dorofeeva 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Indisputably, Caroline Minuscule script was one of the greatest and longest-lasting achievements of the Carolingian project. It far out-lasted the architects of that project, ensuring a long afterlife of their priorities and influences, even once it was detached from the legacy of a relatively short-lived political entity, the Carolingian empire. The Network for the Study of Caroline Minuscule (NSCM) is therefore organising panels at Leeds IMC 2018 on this phenomenon, welcoming papers on any aspect of its usage, reception, dissemination, engagement and historiography. Significant avenues of study have been opened up by recent developments: the publication of the final volume of Bischoff’s *Katalog* and ongoing digitisation projects (the Vatican Library, the Polonsky Project at the British Library and BNF etc.), as well as new resources in the digital humanities, which our ongoing work on a database of scribal centres will complement. We would be particularly interested in talks that engage directly with the aims of that project, perhaps allowing for a recognition of how local centres working in parallel processed the script from its origins, or discussing how it developed and evolved in each hub within and beyond the time-scale of the Carolingian political order. A wide scope is encouraged, within c. 800-1500, and a broad geographical distribution across and beyond the boundaries of the Carolingian empire warmly welcome. Potential papers might also engage with: - The influence of discredited historiographical notions of ‘reform’ and ‘Renaissance’, and how engagement with the script’s complexities might nuance what replaces them. - The practice of scribal memory within manuscripts: palimpsesting, copying, misinterpreting, glossing and deleting, marginal notation and signs. - Relationship of Caroline minuscule to other scripts: within a single manuscript or school, with issues of its authority and hierarchy, or direct comparison of Caroline minuscule as a phenomenon with antecedents, descendants and scripts of parallel, lesser or (arguably!) greater influence. - Use of Caroline minuscule within a broad ‘type’ of manuscripts, say the liturgical or ‘priestly handbooks’, and how it affects and reflects the use and reading of the contents. - Practices of cataloguing (medieval and modern), digitisation and terminology. Papers should be 20 minutes, and there will be some time for questions and discussion. Those interested are encouraged to send: Name/Affiliation/Position A basic 100 word abstract (there will be time to refine the talks before the Congress) A note of any equipment required. to Arthur Westwell and Anna Dorofeeva at carolineminuscule(a)gmail.com by 26 September 2017, which would allow some time to organise before submitting an application to the Leeds IMC.

CFP Kalamazoo 2018: Digital Editing / Digital Archiving
by Albert Lloret 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Sponsored by Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures Organized by Albert Lloret (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and Jeanette Patterson (Binghamton University, SUNY) The prevalent use of digital tools and online environments to edit medieval texts is resulting in a myriad of projects in which unique solutions are deployed to offer optimal representations of very different textual objects. Single manuscripts, library collections, authorial corpora, and works preserved in several witnesses, for instance, all beg for different editorial and archival approaches. The possibilities for study and representation, in addition, are multiplied not only by the technologies employed or designed ad hoc for each project, but also by the scholars’ ideas on the very nature of what is being studied. We invite paper submissions that reflect on the theory, developments, and challenges of editing and archiving medieval texts, including, but not limited to: •theories of digital edition. •the making of digital editions. •technologies employed in the making of digital archives. •examples of digital editions and archives. Please send a 100-word abstract and a Participant Information Form (available here: https://wmich.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/u434/2017/medieval-pif-20… ) to Albert Lloret at lloret(a)umass.edu by September 15. Participant Information Form - wmich.edu<https://wmich.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/u434/2017/medieval-pif-20…> wmich.edu 53rd International Congress on Medieval Studies. May 10–13, 2018. Participant Information Form. Deadline: September 15, 2017. This form is available on the Congress ...

2017 Schoenberg Symposium_Registration open
by Ransom, Lynn 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 2-4, 2017 Intertwined Worlds Registration now open! In partnership with the Rare Book Department<https://libwww.freelibrary.org/rarebooks/index.cfm> of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies (SIMS<http://schoenberginstitute.org/>) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. Despite the linguistic and cultural complexity of many regions of the premodern world, religion supplies the basis of a strong material and textual cohesion that both crosses and intertwines boundaries between communities. This year's theme, "Intertwined Worlds," will highlight the confluence of expressions of belief, ritual, and social engagement emerging in technologies and traditions of the world's manuscript cultures, often beyond a single religious context. It will consider common themes and practices of textual, artistic, literary, and iconographic production in religious life across time and geography, from ancient precedents to modern reception and dissemination in the digital age. For more information and to register, go to: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium10.html . Participants include: * Iqbal Akhtar, Florida International University * Paul Dilley, University of Iowa * Benjamin Fleming, University of Pennsylvania * Ellen Gough, Emory University * Thibaud d'Hubert, University of Chicago * Ayesha Irani, University of Massachusetts, Boston * Shazia Jagot, University of Southern Denmark * Samantha Kelly, Rutgers University * Jinah Kim, Harvard University * Sabine Schmidtke, Institute for Advanced Studies * Gila Prebor, Bar-Ilan University * Michael Pregil, Boston University * Michael Stanley-Baker, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science * Columba Stewart, Hill Museum and Manuscript Library * Tyler Williams, University of Chicago * Saymon Zakaria, Bangla Academy, Dhaka * Maayan Zhitomirsky-Geffet, Bar-Ilan University
