Dear all,<br class="">
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<br class="">
we are delighted to announce that application for MMSDA are open.<br
class="">
<br class="">
Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (MMSDA)<br
class="">
<br class="">
2 – 6 May 2016, Cambridge and London<br class="">
<br class="">
We are very pleased to announce the sixth year of this course,
funded by the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network
(DiXiT), and run by King’s College London with the University of
Cambridge and the Warburg Institute. The course will run in two
parallel strands: one on medieval and the other on modern
manuscripts.<br class="">
<br class="">
The course is open to any doctoral students working with
manuscripts. It involves five days of intensive training on the
analysis, description and editing of medieval or modern
manuscripts to be held jointly in Cambridge and London.
Participants will receive a solid theoretical foundation and
hands-on experience in cataloguing and editing manuscripts for
both print and digital formats.<br class="">
<br class="">
The first half of the course involves morning classes and then
afternoon visits to libraries in Cambridge and London.
Participants will view original manuscripts and gain practical
experience in applying the morning’s themes to concrete examples.
In the second half we will address the cataloguing and description
of manuscripts in a digital format with particular emphasis on the
Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). These sessions will also combine
theoretical principles and practical experience and include
supervised work on computers.<br class="">
<br class="">
The course is free of charge but is open only to doctoral students
(PhD or equivalent). It is aimed at those writing dissertations
relating to medieval or modern manuscripts, especially those
working on literature, art or history. Eight bursaries will be
available for travel and accommodation. There are thirty vacancies
across the medieval and modern strands, and preference will be
given to those considered by the selection panel likely to benefit
most from the course. Applications close at 5pm GMT on 22 February
2016 but early registration is strongly recommended.<br class="">
