We are very happy to announce that manuSciences ’19 is now open for
applications.

ManuSciences is a week-long intensive course in manuscript studies
which combines history, philology, palaeography, and codicology with
material sciences, digital humanities and computer science.
Participants will have lectures from experts on topics such as the
making and analysis of papyrus, parchment and paper, DNA and C14
analysis, and TEI for Palaeography and Codicology. They will also have
hands-on sessions in which they will make their own inks and writing
samples and then analyse these samples or other images with techniques
and equipment including multispectral imaging, X-Ray Fluorescence
(XRF) Microscopy, Raman Spectroscopy, and computational manuscript
analysis.

The summer school will take place at the Côte d'Azur on 10-15 March,
2019 and is open to young researchers (loosely defined), from master
and PhD students to researchers and university lecturers.

It is jointly organized by the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und
-Prüfung (BAM), Berlin, the Center for the Study of Manuscript
Cultures (SFB 950), Hamburg and the École Pratique des Hautes Études –
Université Paris Sciences et Lettres.

Applications are due by 15 November 2018
