University of Oslo, Norway

Updated: over 1 year ago
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 28 Aug 2022

Two Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1352) in Medieval Studies are available at the Department of Conservation, Archaeology, and History, University of Oslo. The position is funded by the European Research Council and associated with the ERC Advanced Grant project 101018645 MINiTEXTS “Minuscule Texts: Marginalized Voices in Early Medieval Latin Culture (c. 700–c.1000) ”, funded by the European Research Council and led by Professor Ildar Garipzanov (Principal Investigator).

MINiTEXTS seeks to systematically study early medieval Latin minuscule texts (also known as “guest texts” or “microtexts”), i.e. short texts which were added in large numbers, before c. 1000, to flyleaves, margins and other blank spaces of pre-900 Latin manuscripts. MINiTEXTS examines such textual additions as a unique corpus of practical knowledge deeply embedded in the social praxis of early medieval society and aspires to understand the “social logic” of such texts as well as the social, religious, and cultural practices that they signify.
