(Re)imag(in)ing the Past: Physical, Digital, and (Con)textual Analysis of Historical Manuscripts​

​

International Symposium ​

4-6 December 2024, Gjøvik, Norway​


Dear colleagues,


At the conclusion of the research project Lying Pen of Scribes<https://lyingpen.uia.no/>: Manuscript Forgeries, Digital Imaging, and Critical Provenance Research (2019-2024), we are happy to  organize an international symposium fully dedicated to recent discoveries in the vast world of manuscript studies. We invite you to contribute to a 3-day immersion into state-of-the-art topics such as:​

  *   Findings and reflections related to the Dead Sea Scrolls, their provenance, reception, and authenticity​
  *   Materiality of ancient manuscripts, their facsimiles, and their publication​
  *   Digitization and archiving of manuscript collections​
  *   Access challenges​
  *   Capture, processing, visualization, and scientific analysis of color and spectral images​
  *   The use of artificial intelligence in deciphering ancient texts​
  *   Digital representations and physical reproductions for knowledge production​



We welcome short contributions in the form of extended abstracts  accompanied by a summary illustration (max. 2 pages or 500 words, including references). Accepted works will be invited as oral talks. The book of abstracts will be shared with the symposium participants, and it will be made publicly available on Zenodo repository. Original and ex-novo contributions are welcome, but not required, and commentaries/ extensions of previously published works are allowed. The contribution must be written in the provided Word template (provided in the conference website).​

​

The participants in the symposium will be offered free registration to a training school on advanced digitization techniques for cultural heritage objects, that will take place just before the main event, between 2 and 4 December. ​

See the conference website https://s.ntnu.no/lyingpen for more information. Please also kindly distribute this call for abstracts in your network.


On behalf of the organizing committee,
