THIRTEENTH INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL
5th - 12th August 2016University of Iceland
5th - 12th August 2016University of Iceland
Reykjavík
An 8-day intensive course in medieval and early-modern Scandinavian manuscript studies.
The course, which will comprise both lectures and practical sessions, is intended chiefly for graduate students (MA/PhD-level) but may also be of interest to more established scholars hoping to improve their manuscript reading and editorial skills. A sound background in Old Norse-Icelandic and/or Old Danish is essential. Familiarity with one or more of the modern Scandinavian languages, while a distinct advantage, is not required, as all teaching will be in English.
As in previous years there will be both a basic group, focusing on palaeography, codicology, manuscript description and transcription, and an advanced group, focusing on editorial technique and the theory and practice of textual criticism; to qualify for the latter one must normally have successfully completed the former.
There will also be a Master class for those who have completed the basic and advanced groups and want to try their hand at preparing an edition of a previously unedited text.
The deadline for registration for this year's summer school is 31 March 2016.
