DIGITAL PRESERVATION OF MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS AND EARLY
PRINTED BOOKS
Summer School Announcement

The Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy
of Sciences organizes a summer school entitled _Digital Preservation
of Medieval Manuscripts and Early Printed Books_ to be held in Sofia,
Bulgaria, from 26 July to 13 August.

Digital preservation of medieval manuscripts is inevitable without
encoding of the manuscript texts. Our school program covers the issues
of TEI transcription of primary sources and building lexically
annotated corpora of medieval texts.

The school is organized under the auspices of the Bulgarian Minister
of Culture, Ms. Emma Moskova.

The faculty of the school are distinguished specialists from the USA,
the UK, Greece, the Czech republic, Denmark and Bulgaria.

Visits to major manuscript repositories in Bulgaria are included into
the program. Participants willing to share their own experience in the
field will present short papers.

The event is supported by Open Society Institute - Budapest.

GRANTS for participants from Central and Eastern Europe and former
Soviet Union are available.

The deadline for application is April 15, 1999.

More information about the school, including preliminary program and
application form, is published on the web-site
