Global Currents: Cultures of Literacy Networks

From Stanford University, in collaboration with McGill University (Montreal, Quebec), Ecole de Technologie Superieure (Montreal, Quebec), and Groningen University (Groningen, Netherlands) comes Global Currents, an ongoing digital humanities project dedicated to twelfth-century British manuscripts held at the Parker Library. More specifically, this project investigates the visual cues that these texts employed in order to guide and engage readers. Visitors of this web page can explore these manuscripts in the visual hierarchy section, available via the discovery tab. Here, visual features are sorted into categories including capital letters, illustrations, marginal images, intertextual space, and more for book history fans to explore. As the team behind this website notes (in the medieval scribes section), these manuscripts were hand-written by individuals known as scribes. The project plans to add a section dedicated to the scribes who created these manuscripts, so stay tuned.
