Unlocking the Potential of Texts: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Medieval Greek

Description

The conference will bring together experts in the various disciplines that use source materials written in vernacular Greek in the late medieval and early modern periods. Our aim is to establish an interdisciplinary dialogue on methodological issues relating to the use and editing of such texts, whose subject matter may be historical, legal, religious, literary, etc. The conference will thus contribute directly to a major research project based at Cambridge, and led by Dr David Holton and Professor Geoffrey Horrocks, which is producing a grammar of medieval Greek (c. 1100-1700).
