The postgraduate workshop is aimed at M.A.*, M.Phil. and Ph.D. students wishing to receive research training in the use of Irish manuscripts, whether Medieval or Modern. The workshop will take place over two days in University College Cork and will comprise several intensive seminars led by experts in the relevant fields. A wide range of manuscripts compiled in Ireland will be discussed including Old, Middle, and Modern Irish texts as well as Latin and early English materials. Particular emphasis will be placed on familiarising students with scripts and abbreviations, and on practical editing exercises. The seminar leaders will be encouraged to share palaeographical issues from their own research with the students and to explore how certain difficulties can be overcome. The focus of the workshop is on skills applicable to a number of related research fields and on the creative exchange of expertise. There is also an opportunity for students to broaden their palaeographical experience beyond their own subject area.
This seminar is supported by a grant from the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences, UCC, therefore there is no tuition fee and a limited number of bursaries are available for participants not resident in Cork.
*For postgraduate students of the Department of Early and Medieval Irish, UCC the seminar counts as a 10 credit module, provided that the student also completes a project under the direction of a member of the department.
