Dear all,

we are delighted to announce that application for MMSDA are open.

Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (MMSDA)

2 – 6 May 2016, Cambridge and London

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.

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.

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. 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.
