This course requires an individual application!
9 students of the Humboldt-Universität will be accepted. Please send your application containing a motivation letter and a CV per email to dominique [dot] stutzmann [at] hu-berlin [dot] de . Motivation letter and CV will be sent in one single PDF file, named LASTNAME_BIP2024_application.pdf . The classes will be taught in English. Group work and outcomes will be in English. The course is co-organized by Univerzita Karlova in Prague (Prof. Lucie Doležalová) and École Pratique des Hautes Études EPHE-PSL in Paris (Prof. Peter Stokes).
Two phases: (1) online group work from April to July 2024. (2) physical mobility: 22-29 September 2024 (6 full days + 2 travel days) in Prague and Třeboň (Czech Republic). Travel expenses are covered by a daily allowance within the program.
This new innovative course will connect traditional studies of medieval manuscripts with the application of new methods in Digital Humanities (DH) and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and allow students to benefit from and be inserted in an international network through team collaboration. They will participate in the development of a virtual exhibition of medieval manuscripts.
Students will familiarize themselves with new methods of manuscript study in a virtual environment, including Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and multispectral imaging, and will try them out. Within the virtual mobility, several lectures and independent group work in smaller international teams will take place - analyzing specific manuscripts. In the physical mobility, students will directly work with medieval manuscripts, get acquainted with contemporary restoration practices, try medieval calligraphy, and complete the virtually initiated work for the main output of the project: a virtual exhibition. Students will progress from digital manuscripts to physical ones— from the virtual to the material.
In the project, there will be a total of 27 participants, with 9 from each institution, selected during March (participation requires proficiency in English, and some proficiency in Latin and paleography is expected). There will be a total of six seminars focusing on introducing new DH methods and the use of AI in manuscript research (HTR, multi-spectral imaging, digital editions) and specific manuscript issues studied in this particular course (books of hours, sermons, scribal additions). Each seminar will be accompanied by rich supplementary material for self-study. The seminars will be accompanied by independent group work: Students will be divided into 9 groups, each consisting of one student from each country, and will work on analyzing one manuscript. The physical mobility, lasting 6 days, will include (1.) Work with physical manuscripts during 3 days (students will complete independent group work initiated with the digital version of manuscripts while working with real manuscripts); (2.) Restoration workshop at the State Regional Archive in Třeboň; (3.) Calligraphic and bookbinding workshop at Dikdaktikon Hybernská (1 day); (4.) Excursion to Nostic and Strahov Libraries (1 day).
