About the group

To study the minuscule texts, the researchers use approaches from cultural, social, and religious history, manuscripts studies, and material philology. 

The discussions within this research group tend to focus on palaeographic and codicological aspects of such minuscule texts. In addition the focus is on various forms of practical knowledge communicated by such texts, and on related practices in the early medieval society of western Europe.

Digital humanities are in the core of our research activities. We hold regular meetings, invite researchers to present their work, and serve as a hub for hosting projects related to the central research themes.
