Scripto Registration
In this age of globalization, the need to look after our cultural heritage has now become more important than ever.
SCRIPTO
(Scholarly Codicological Research, Information & Palaeographical Tools)
is a
Postgraduate Programme
at Friedrich Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg supported by the Luise Prell Foundation, the Schirmer Foundation, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich and the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, and available to graduate Medievalists and Early Modern Specialists. It offers a systematic, research-oriented introduction to the study of medieval and early modern manuscripts and to methods of describing and interpreting them. SCRIPTO is a sort of bridge between research and practical work and combines research and instruction within the framework of a uniquely innovative course, at the end of which each candidate will be awarded a certificate from Friedrich Alexander University.
SCRIPTO consists of six modules that cover a broad spectrum of subjects (text typology; book illumination; palaeography; codicology; incunabula studies; informatics). There will be SCRIPTO research seminars, one of which will be given by Rosamond McKitterick (Cambridge) at Bamberg. Participants will also have the opportunity to work on a common research project.
The German Manuscript Centres in Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Munich, Stuttgart and Wolfenbüttel are supportive of the SCRIPTO programme. The course will take place in cooperation with the manuscript departments of the Erlangen University Library, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, the City Library in Nuremberg and the Herzog August Bibliothek at Wolfenbüttel.
SCRIPTO sessions will take place in Bamberg (Staatsbibliothek), Erlangen (Universitätsbibliothek), Munich (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek), Nuremberg (Stadtbibliothek) and Wolfenbüttel (Herzog August Bibliothek) at a fee of 850 Euros (which includes travel and accommodations for seminars outside of Erlangen ) per participant. Further information may be obtained online:

Other Peoples’ Thinking: Language and Mentality in England before the Conquest
Other Peoples’ Thinking:
Language and Mentality in England before the Conquest
A conference sponsored by the Institute for Research in the Humanities
University of Wisconsin * Madison USA
April 17*18, 2009.
How did the people of Anglo-Saxon England conceive of their place in the
world that they inhabited? To what extent do the textual records dating
from that formative period reflect assumptions that may have no exact
equivalents today, and that require explication if the culture of that
era is not to be misunderstood? This two-day conference will provide an
opportunity for specialists to share insights into these questions.
Speakers have been asked to explore the extent to which the lexicon
pertaining to a given area of experience provides access to a people’s
mentality.
Main speakers are Robert E. Bjork (Arizona State University), Kathleen
Davis (Rhode Island University), Nicole Discenza (University of South
Forida), Roberta Frank (Yale University), Joseph C. Harris (Harvard
University), Antonette diPaolo Healey (University of Toronto), Karl
Reichl (University of Bonn), and Elaine Treharne (Florida State
University). Cross-disciplinary and theoretical perspectives will be
encouraged through the participation of additional panelists, including
Andrew Rabin (University of Kentucky: Anglo-Saxon law) and, from the
UW-Madison faculty, Thomas Dale (Art History), Thomas DuBois
(Scandinavian Studies and Folklore), Harold Scheub (African Languages
and Literature), Walton O. Schalick (History of Medicine and Bioethics),
Frank Salomon (Anthropology), and Karl Shoemaker (History and Legal
Studies).
