What happens when digital images circulate in isolation from their manuscript contexts? Through a series of conversations, multimedia interactions and collaborative crowdsourcing, this event will explore the use and consumption of medieval manuscripts today.
Julia Crick (Professor of Palaeography and Manuscript Studies at King’s College London), and Daniel Wakelin (Jeremy Griffiths Professor of Medieval English Palaeography at the University of Oxford) will curate conversations between academics and practitioners from different disciplines, asking them to respond to manuscript images in the light of their own research. We will turn to our audience as readers, and ask them to contribute their thoughts and observations on our collection of images.- Hartker's Antiphonary (late 10th): Gregory the Great dictating to a scribe writing on a wax tablet #SWStGall390 pic.twitter.com/nvW4XM6qGr
