In the Margins of the Manuscripts: Texts and Paratexts is a course organized by MED-his. The course, taught mainly in Spanish, will introduce participants to annotation practices in different manuscript traditions. The aim is to highlight the diversity and practice of communal reading and writing in the Middle Ages. The course will be run by experts in Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin texts. Further details are given on the leaflet below.
A webinar on vernacular glossing in the early Middle Ages will take place on the 17th/18th of February 2022. The event, organised by The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) in association with the Bodleian Libraries and Oxford Medieval Studies, centres on the Murbach hymns, a Latin hymnal with Old High German interlinear glosses from the ninth century. The manuscript MS. Junius 25 and other glossed manuscripts from the Bodleian Library will be presented and analysed, giving the audience the opportunity to view these valuable objects up close.
