Ново списание - Manuscript Studies

На вниманието на българските специалисти по палеография, кодикология и история на книгата:

The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce its new semi-annual journal Manuscript Studies. This journal aims to bring together scholarship from around the world and across disciplines related to the study of pre-modern manuscript books and documents. 

 We are actively seeking submissions for 2017 and beyond. The journal is open to contributions that rely on both traditional methodologies of manuscript study and those that explore the potential of new ones. We seek articles that engage in a larger conversation on manuscript culture and its continued relevance in today’s world and highlight the value of manuscript evidence in understanding our shared cultural and intellectual heritage. Studies that incorporate digital methodologies to further understanding of the physical and conceptual structures of the manuscript book are encouraged. A separate section, entitled Annotations, features research in progress and digital project reports. Book,  digital project, and exhibition reviews will also be included. For more information, go to http://mss.pennpress.org.

The following articles will be featured in first issue, to be published April 2016. For subscription information, please visit the website.
