Dietrich Reinhart OSB Fellowship in Eastern Christian Manuscript Studies
*October 2012*
The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) announces the establishment of
the Dietrich Reinhart OSB Fellowship in Eastern Christian Manuscript
Studies, to be awarded annually for three years beginning with the Academic
Year 2013-2014. The fellowship has been established through the generosity
of Rebecca Haile and Jean Manas of New York, New York, in memory of Br.
Dietrich Reinhart OSB (1949-2008). Br. Dietrich, 11th President of Saint
John's University, was a visionary leader who saw HMML as integral to the
mission of Saint John's Abbey and University, and enthusiastically promoted
HMML's work in the Middle East, Ethiopia, and India.
Awardees must be undertaking research on some aspect of Eastern Christian
studies requiring use of the digital or microfilm manuscript collections at
HMML. They must have already been awarded a doctoral degree in a relevant
field and have demonstrated expertise in the languages and cultures of
Eastern Christianity relevant for their projects.
The Fellowship may be held for a full academic year (September 1-April 30)
or for one semester (September 1-December 20; January 4-April 30). The
Fellowship provides accommodation in an apartment at the Collegeville
Institute on the Saint John’s University campus; working space at HMML;
access to library, recreational and cultural activities at Saint John’s
University; round-trip transportation; and a stipend of up to $25,000 for a
full academic year. Stipends will be adjusted for less than a full year in
residence.
Awardees will be expected to devote full attention to their research
projects while in residence. They will also be expected to participate in a
weekly seminar for Collegeville Institute resident scholars, to present
their research in a public lecture sponsored by HMML, and to be a resource
for HMML staff and other researchers during their stay.
Applicants are asked to provide: 1) a cover letter with current contact
information and an indication of availability for a full-year or
one-semester residency; 2) a description of the project to be pursued,
including an explanation of how access to HMML’s resources will be
important for its success (1000-1500 words); 3) an updated curriculum
vitae; 4) two letters of reference.
The cover letter, project description, and CV should be sent by the
applicant to hmmlfellowships(a)csbsju.edu; letters should be sent by the
referees directly to the same email address or in hard copy to Julie
Dietman, HMML, Box 7300, Collegeville, MN 56321.
Applications for the Academic Year 2013-14 are due December 15, 2012. The
decision and acceptance process will be completed by the end of February
2013.
*The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library is a sponsored program of Saint
John’s University, with the world’s largest collection of research material
for the study of manuscripts. HMML holds microfilm and digital images of
more than 135,000 complete manuscripts. In addition to Latin manuscripts,
HMML’s collections are particularly rich in Ethiopic, Syriac, Arabic, and
Armenian manuscripts.*****
