[Mediaevistik] Workshop & Panel on "Manuscripts from German-Speaking Lands"

[Henrike Laehnemann]

As the Polonsky German project to digitise medieval manuscripts from German-speaking lands draws to a close, two free online events offer insights based on the manuscripts. Register by Monday!
6 July 2021, 6-7pm Manuscripts Live: Singing from Medieval Sources in the Bodleian Library<https://medieval.ox.ac.uk/2021/06/25/manuscripts-live-singing-from-medieval-sources-in-the-bodleian-library/>
Building on the success of Gregorian chant workshops  with manuscripts from the Bodleian Library, a group of Oxford medievalists are offering insights into working with manuscripts during lockdown. Meet some of the manuscripts from the Abbey of Medingen, recently digitized through the Polonsky German project, and sing along to chants from the Easter period.  A special focus will be on the ‘Exsultet’ which attracted some of the most colourful illumination of the manuscripts as well as detailed devotional instructions in Latin and Low German on how to sing it both out aloud and “on the harp strings of the soul”.
Andrew Dunning, R.W. Hunt Curator of Medieval Manuscripts, will show the Medingen manuscripts at the Bodleian Library live via visualiser from the Weston Library; Zachary Guiliano, Chaplain of St Edmund Hall, Henrike Lähnemann, Professor of Medieval German Literature and Linguistics, and Nick Swarbrick, Gregorian chant instructor, will form a Schola in the Crypt of St-Peter-in-the-East, the library of St Edmund Hall, and comment on the manuscripts, the music, and their theological significance. Two graduate students working on the Easter prayer books, Carolin Gluchowski and Marlene Schilling, will point out some of the special nuntastic features of the manuscripts.
This is part of the IMC Leeds Fringe Events but everybody is welcome – free attendance for all manuscript and music enthusiasts! To receive the zoom link, please fill in the registration form<https://forms.office.com/r/QzmN3kVBmx>.
7 July 2021, 5.30-6.45pm (BST) Manuscript journeys: from German lands to digital libraries<https://medieval.ox.ac.uk/2021/06/28/7-july-manuscript-journeys-from-german-lands-to-digital-libraries/>
Free, book in advance<https://visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/event/manuscript-journeys> (Registration closes at 5pm on 5 July), jointly organised by the Bodleian Libraries and the German Embassy
This event marks the completion of a three-year digitization project delivered by the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford and the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbuttel. The ‘Manuscripts from German-Speaking Lands’ project, funded by The Polonsky Foundation, has digitized hundreds of medieval manuscripts from collections at The Herzog August Bibliothek and the Bodleian and made these freely available online to scholars and the public.
The panel discussion will explore the journey of these manuscript collections from their origins in the religious houses of medieval Germany, their acquisition by the libraries in Wolfenbüttel and Oxford and their digitization and publication online.
Speakers: Richard Ovenden OBE, Bodley’s Librarian; Julia Gross, Chargé d’ Affaires a.i. of the German Embassy London; Marc Polonsky, The Polonsky Foundation; Peter Burschel, Herzog August Bibliothek; Henrike Lähnemann, University of Oxford; Joanna Story, University of Leicester
