Overview
The Collaborative Program in Editing Medieval Texts
offers intensive training in the editing of medieval Latin
and vernacular texts, including music. Training in all areas
is based on a sound knowledge of Latin, a facility in
examining manuscript documents, and an understanding
of the principles of editorial method.
Students can choose to focus on editing texts in Latin,
texts in Old and Middle English, or texts in other
vernacular languages. Students in the program complete a
series of courses that deal with the techniques of reading,
transcribing, and editing manuscripts, and then complete
an editorial project. Upon successful completion of
the PhD requirements of the participating home
department and the collaborative program, students
receive the notation “Completed Collaborative Program in
Editing Medieval Texts” on their transcript and parchment.
