1. an understanding of the concepts and discussion of medieval and early modern manuscripts and printed books, including the conditions in which they were produced and circulated, and their relationship with the texts they represent.

2. an informed understanding of the technical aspects of reading and transcribing medieval and early modern script, as well as editing texts.

3. an understanding of differing approaches to medieval and early modern texts in relation to the issues raised by authorship versus anonymity, and textual transmission.

This module will explore a range of manuscripts and incunabula from the medieval and early modern periods, with a view to engaging with the complex notions of medieval written artefact and composite books, the circulation and the dissemination of manuscripts and printed books. This module will offer the postgraduate the opportunity to pursue highly innovative lines of research in often neglected fields of study, including editing from digital resources and dealing with complex issues in transcription. There will be ample time during the semester for the postgraduate to shape and develop their own enquiries.
