Minuscule Texts: Marginalized Voices In Early Medieval Latin Culture (C. 700–C. 1000)
Microtexts From The Early Middle Ages Analysed
The Erc-Funded Minitexts Project Will Study Very Short Texts Added To Blank Spaces Of Latin Manuscripts In Early Medieval Europe. These Textual Additions, Largely Overlooked By Researchers, Range From A Page Or Two To A Short Note Reminiscent Of A Modern Tweet. Minitexts Will Examine These Texts As A Unique Assemblage Of Early Medieval Practical Knowledge Left Behind By Many Anonymous People. The Goal Of Minitexts Is To Analyse Various Kinds Of Practical Knowledge That These Texts Convey, And Study The Social, Religious, And Cultural Practices Indirectly Referred To By Them. The Focus Will Be On The Texts Related To The Personal And Communal Needs Of Their Transcribers. The Findings Will Shed Light On The Heterogeneous Nature Of Early Medieval Culture.
