William Noel, Associate University Librarian for Special Collections at Princeton University Library, will give a talk on how to work remotely with manuscripts. He will try to show ‘what you can do with a couple of computer tools, a bunch of digital images, and some basic metadata’. The lecture will take place online via Zoom on Wednesday, 16 February 2022, 12:00 pm–1:20 pm. More information about the lecture, registration and the Medieval Studies Faculty Colloquium can be found via: https://medievalstudies.princeton.edu/event/medieval-studies-faculty-colloquium-william-noel/
The Oxford Handbook of Latin Paleography was published in December 2020 by Oxford University Press. The book edited by Frank T. Coulson and Robert G. Babock is a comprehensive compendium on ancient and medieval palaeography and codicology, including chapters on the development of Latin scripts from Antiquity to the Early Modern period and of the cultural setting of the mediaeval manuscript. The articles are written by leading experts in the field and richly illustrated with figures and plates. For more information, see: https://tinyurl.com/2559j6kk
