The Institute for Digital Humanities at the University of Göttingen, in collaboration with the Göttingen State and University Library, and with generous support from the Volkswagen Foundation, is pleased to announce its annual international digital palaeography summer school.
The summer school is intended as an intensive training scheme for postgraduate students, in both traditional Latin palaeography and codicology, and in the latest digital technologies applicable in these disciplines. The focus is on how these fields interface with scholarly editing.
The programme will consist of sessions on the history of the script of Latin manuscript books in the medieval West, including transcription practice, in the mornings. Afternoon sessions will introduce students to digital methodologies and tools in fragmentology, codicology, editing, and cataloguing, as well as to TEI-XML and hyper- and multispectral imaging.
Successful applicants to the summer school will receive free accommodation for 13 nights (in individual self-catered rooms). We also aim to offer contributions towards their travel costs to those who require them.
Programme director: Dr. Anna Dorofeeva.
