WUN-IDENTIFIED RESEARCH COLLABORATION THEMES:
Multilingualism in the Middle Ages:
History of the Medieval Book:
This theme is the closest to my interests in the sense of: the medieval manuscript book, i.e. the medieval codex.
Medieval Chronicle Studies:
Ph.D.s UNDER SUPERVISION:
STAFF EXCHANGES/ONLINE RESOURCE CREATION/VIDEOCONFERENCING:
Yes, I am interested in staff exchanges with WUN partner institutions, and in conducting a videoconferencing seminar or course.
I am certainly willing to receive suitable PhD students provided our Library resources are appropriate for their work.
I myself shall visit Madison on February 23-25 to give lectures.
I chair the Committee of the British Academy which supervises the preparation of an on-line inventory of medieval British manuscripts containing commentaries on the works of Aristotle, and also a Committee which publishes the Academy's series Auctores Britannici Medii Aevi, for which series John Kilcullen and others are editing the Dialogus of William of Ockham on-line (please see: http://britac3.britac.ac.uk/pubs/dialogus ).
I no longer teach courses but would welcome exchanges of research seminars e.g. those given to our Medieval Group which meets six or more times at 5 p.m. UK time which is a good time for linking up with the USA and Europe.
MEDIEVAL COURSES TAUGHT:
I no longer teach courses. However, I would like to see developed:
Palaeography
Medieval Latin.
