‘Goostly psalmes and spirituall songes: a digital edition’ is available to read now on the Taylor Editions website. I was quite at a loss when, towards the end of our first week on the History of the Book and Digital Humanities project, we were directed by our graduate mentors – Mary Newman and Sebastian Dows-Miller …

Although the author of the document is anonymous, we do know that this …

UNIQ+ Week 4: Clarity and Chaos

“What on earth is that?!” I thought to myself when we were presented with our latest Code-a-thon challenge on Monday morning. As you may well be able to see from the header image, the test before us was a difficult one: columns, colours, glosses, handwriting and marginalia (that even had its own marginalia!). How could …

UNIQ+ Week 3: Beginnings

Week III marked something of a beginning. To characterize the third of a six-week long internship as a ‘beginning’ moment seems, of course, somewhat absurd. But it was indeed a pivotal instance: it was the moment we encountered the complete sammelband for the first time, the point at which we decided upon our own independent …

The ‘Reisebericht’ of the knight Arnold von Harff in the ULB Bonn, Germany

Why this manuscript? Although I myself grew up in the Lower Rhine region, my path to Arnold von Harff led me via the manuscript reading room in Oxford.
