Manuscripts MANU15 – an interdisciplinary approach solving puzzles with historicalmanuscripts

Les manuscrits sont le fondement de nos connaissances du passé. En plus des textes et des images, la composition chimique et physique du support abonde d’informations non textuelles qui font partie intégrante du manuscrit. Elles méritent donc d’être dûment analysées afin de compléter l’histoire de production, de conservation des manuscrits. Cette école d’été réunira des jeunes chercheurs et des chercheurs expérimentés, des philologues et des conservateurs avec leurs collègues en archéométrie, chimie, physique et en informatique. Autour des manuscrits ils pourront partager et apprendre la théorie et la pratique des techniques les plus récentes telles que la spectrométrie de fluorescence X, la microscopie multispectrale ou le RTF.

Frauenchiemsee We accept applications to participate at

manuSciences '15 a Franco-German summerschool in manuscript studies
combining perspectives from philology, material sciences, computer
sciences and digital humanities.

SCOPE: Manuscripts are the main source of our culture and their
historical development. The aim of the summer school is to illustrate
the interdisciplinary approaches to manuscript studies combining
lectures in history and philology with non-textual information from
materials analysis, imaging techniques, digital humanities and computer
science.

Lectures will be complemented with practical courses in small groups on
mobile instruments (e.g. x-ray fluorescence XRF, multispectral imaging
MSI, and Reflectance Transformation Imaging RTI) and on computer programs.

WHEN: 6-12 september 2015,
WHERE: on the beautiful island Frauenwörth
