Center for Medieval Studies Projects

Minnesota Manuscript Research Laboratory

Formerly known as the Laboratory for Early Text Studies, the MMRL is a CMS web site designed to provide guidance on the study of manuscripts. The Laboratory is intended to provide practical guidance and training in the areas of text studies, text editing, palaeography and codicology.

The 2007 Manuscript Workshop was held June 3-8, 2007, at the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library (Saint John's University).

The Digital Image Project

The Digital Image Project was created through a partnership between the Visual Resource Center in the Art History Department and CMS. Its purpose is to create and maintain a digital image database for pedagogical and archival purposes.

The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity

The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity will be a single-volume reference book of 800,000 words, written by multiple experts and covering all aspects of the years c. 250-750 AD in Europe, the Mediterranean World and the Near East (including Persia and Ethiopia). The project is based at the Center, Mr. Nicholson is its General Editor, and he enjoys the help of Research Assistants and a couple of dozen specialist Area Advisers. The book will benefit from the unrivaled experience of the Oxford University Press in producing works of reference. This projected was recently spotlighted by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research.

The Center is currently working on publishing the proceedings from several conferences, held at the University of Minnesota during Spring 2000 and 2002 respectively: the proceedings of the Lactantius Conference (Spring 2000) and the Papal Avignon Conference (Spring 2002).
