Dear colleagues, On Tuesday, April 2nd, Irene van Eldere will give a talk in English at the seminar "Codicologie quantitative et sociologie du livre médiéval", to introduce "PRAYER," a project initiated at the University of Leiden and funded by the ERC. The project focuses on the Dutch books of hours produced in the 15th century, based on the translations of Geert Grote. It explores the ecosystem of texts, books, scribes, illuminators and readers at the heart of the devotio moderna movement. Irene's presentation will delve into the data model and the network analysis used to represent and study this ecosystem, which might be of interest to the Digital medievalist readers. The seminar will take place at the Sorbonne and on Zoom on Tuesday, April 2nd, from 17:30 to 19:30.

The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS<https://schoenberginstitute.org/>) is pleased to announce that the call for applications to the 2024-2025 Visiting Research Fellowship program is now open. Guided by the vision of its founders, Lawrence J. Schoenberg and Barbara Brizdle Schoenberg, SIMS aims to bring manuscript culture, modern technology, and people together to provide access to and understanding of our shared intellectual heritage. Part of the Penn Libraries, SIMS oversees an extensive collection of premodern manuscripts from around the world, with a special focus on the history of philosophy and science, and creates open-access digital content to support the study of its collections. Fellowships are open to scholars living outside of the greater Philadelphia-area whose research would benefit from direct access to our collections and staff expertise in manuscript studies and the digital humanities. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. or an equivalent professional degree by the time the fellowship begins. The fellowship offers $5000 to spend 1 month (minimum of 4 work weeks) at SIMS between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. Up to 3 fellowships will be awarded this year. For more information and to apply, please visit https://schoenberginstitute.org/visiting-research-fellowships. Applications are due Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions and to circulate this announcement widely.

CFP Connecting Late Antiquities conference
by Gabriel Bodard 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. On behalf of Professors Julia Hillner (BCDSS) and Richard Flower (University of Exeter), we cordially invite colleagues to submit paper proposals for our conference on Connecting Late Antiquities, to be held at the University of Bonn, 3-5 February 2025. We have a limited number of slots for papers of up to 20 minutes in length and therefore invite colleagues to submit abstracts of max. 300 words (plus a brief bio) on any aspect of Late Antique prosopography. Connecting Late Antiquities<https://www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/en/research/connecting-late-antiquities>, generously sponsored by Germany’s Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, is a collaborative project to create open, digital prosopographical resources for the Roman and post-Imperial territories between the third and seventh centuries. Its main aim is to digitise, unite, and link existing resources to make them more accessible and enhance their reach and utility. The enterprise will dramatically improve access to information about late-antique people for all scholars of this period and allow the easy integration of prosopographical material with online geographical, textual, epigraphic, and papyrological resources. Technological developments have provided new opportunities for prosopography, including allowing for both constant updating and an expansion beyond the traditional focus on the higher echelons of society. The Prosopography of the Byzantine Empire and Prosopography of the Byzantine World projects provide excellent examples of the greater possibilities allowed by this approach. Connecting Late Antiquities will draw together material from a variety of major printed prosopographies and specialist digital databases, as well as incorporating entries for 'non-elite' individuals who are attested in ancient sources but have not been included in earlier publications. This approach will allow more extensive research into understudied figures and their social connections. We have a limited number of slots for papers of up to 20 minutes in length and therefore invite colleagues to submit abstracts of max. 300 words (plus a brief bio) on any aspect of Late Antique prosopography. We particularly welcome submissions suggesting new discoveries and approaches within the following themes: * Prosopography and the rise of literature in Late Antique local languages, both western (e.g. Irish, Pictish, Welsh) and eastern (e.g. Armenian, Coptic, Syriac). * Prosopography and the ‘usual suspects’ (aristocracies, rulers, office-holders, etc.). * Prosopography and the ‘unusual suspects’ (e.g. anonymous individuals, marginalised individuals, religious minorities, non-privileged groups). * Prosopography and gender. * Prosopography and the challenges, limits, and opportunities of digital humanities. * Methodological avenues to overcome traditional prosopographical segregations (e.g. clerical/secular, elite/lower-status, human/non-human). Confirmed roundtable participants and speakers include Yanne Broux, Niels Gaul, Rodrigo Laham Cohen, Hartmut Leppin, Ralph Mathisen, Muriel Moser, Silvia Orlandi, Arietta Papaconstantinou, Claire Sotinel, Scott Vanderbilt, and Lieve Van Hoof. We are hoping to cover three nights of accommodation in Bonn, travel expenses, plus all lunches and one conference dinner. Please send your abstract plus bio to Jeroen Wijnendaele (jwijnend(a)uni-bonn.de<mailto:jwijnend@uni-bonn.de>) and Jessica van ’t Westeinde (jwestend(a)uni-bonn.de<mailto:jwestend@uni-bonn.de>) no later than the 1st of May 2024.
