Dear all,
[...]
There's also interesting work happening in digital approaches to palaeography and codicology (both in classics and in medieval studies). A recent conference, Kodikologie und Paläographie im Digitalen Zeitalter - Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age, organized by the Institute of Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München had as its output (or input, more properly) a collection of essays on the topic, but I'm not sure if the collection is available online (Malte, can you say a bit more?).
A table of contents of the book (together with information how to order it) is available on the website of the Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing: http://www.i-d-e.de/schriften-2/kodikologie-und-palaographie-im-digitalen-ze....
The online version of the book will be available in autumn and accessible via the aforementioned website.
Best, Malte

I am working on the section of the Any Holt Library which will be similar to what I have done with incunabula. This will be for medieval manuscripts. The first page will feature how scholars deal with manuscripts: paleography and codicology, pecia and other procedures in medieval scriptoria. I am interested in recent scientific developments: techniques for identifying and examining a palimpsest, what DNA analysis id doing for manuscript study. Where do I go to find online material for these? I will include a page on catalogs and cataloging projects, and I will include the work I have already done with
