We learned of a Call for Papers from “The Transformations of Medieval Law” Project, on the materiality of medieval and early modern law mansuscripts. Here the call:
In connection
with the 2019 congress theme of Materialities, we are seeking papers for
sessions on the materiality of medieval and early modern law manuscripts. This
session explores the materiality of medieval legal texts at different stages of
their use, from their initial production and layout, to binding with other texts,
marks made by users, translation, and printing. We are particularly interested in
how the materiality of legal manuscripts reflects how they transformed through
time as needs of their users changed.
Topics might
include but are not limited to:
• the production
of law manuscripts
• the layout of
law manuscripts
• the
compilation of law manuscripts
• user marks in
law manuscripts
• the
translation of law manuscripts
• multilingual
law manuscripts
• the transition
from manuscript to printing
We welcome research
on manuscripts from any legal tradition and comparative approaches.
Please send
abstracts of no more than 250 words including five keywords to Helen F.
Leslie-Jacobsen (helen.leslie@uib.no), no later than the 1st September 2018.
