[DiXiT] Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (MMSDA) - DiXiT Camp 1

[Franz Fischer]

Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (MMSDA) -  
DiXiT Camp 1
28 April – 2 May 2014, Cambridge & London

We are very pleased to announce the fifth year of this course, funded  
by the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT),  
and run by DiXiT with the Institute of English Studies (London), the  
University of Cambridge, the Warburg Institute, and King’s College  
London. For the first time, the course will run in two parallel  
strands: one on medieval and the other on modern manuscripts.

The course is open to any arts and humanities 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.

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.

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. Some bursaries will be available for  
travel and accommodation. There are eighteen 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 on 14 February 2014 but early registration  
is strongly recommended.
