Meeting Description:
Textual Trails - Transmissions of Oral and
Written Texts
11th Conference of the European Society for
Textual Scholarship
Helsinki, 30 October - 1 November 2014
Texts tend to travel across space and time,
carried by sound waves, written on parchments
and codices, sealed in envelopes and travel
trunks, and streaming as bits in the internet.
They pass from mouth to mouth, from singers'
performances to scholars' notes, from stone
engravings to printed books, or from writing
desks to digital editions.
Sometimes it is possible to trace the trail of
a text or a fragment via several phases of
transmission. These trails can be, for
instance, a part of the genesis of one writing
or an editorial history of one literary work,
or they can run through a historical text
tradition of scribal texts.
The eleventh conference of the European Society
for Textual Scholarship, Textual Trails.
Transmissions of Oral and Written Texts
(Helsinki, 30 October -1 November 2014), seeks
to explore all kinds of textual trails from
various angles of scholarly editing and textual
scholarship.
