Harvard University Digital Scholarship Support Group: Call for Applications
Digital Editing and the Medieval Manuscript
*Workshop Date*: October 19th-20th, 2019
*Application Form*: tinyurl.com/digitalmanuscriptediting

*Application Deadline*: September 20th, 2019
*Contact*: digitalmanuscriptediting(a)gmail.com
The workshop, co-sponsored by the Standing Committee on Medieval Studies,
covers the fundamentals of digital editing while tackling the codicological
challenges posed by medieval manuscripts. Practical sessions inform
collective editorial decision-making: participants will undertake the work
of transcription and commentary, and encode (according to TEI P5 protocols)
the text and images of a medieval manuscript. The workshop will result in a
collaborative digital edition. The manuscript selected for this workshop is
Houghton Lat. 159, a late medieval Book of Hours written in Latin; we will
focus on a selection of suffrages. No language proficiencies are required
for participation.
This graduate-run workshop is *free of charge*, and lunch will be provided
for participants. A limited number of small need-based travel bursaries are
available for participants traveling Cambridge. The workshop will be
limited to twelve places and preference will be given to graduate students
with demonstrated need for training in manuscript study and text encoding.
You will be notified whether we have been able to secure you a place
by *September
23rd*.
