Deadline extended:

European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) Conference 2005

Friday 16 and Saturday 17 December 2005, Amsterdam

Theme: Histories of editions

Abstracts (300 words) for 20-minute papers can be sent to the chairman of
the academic programme committee: herman.brinkman_at_chi.knaw.nl

Deadline for abstracts: March 1, 2005.

The 2005 ESTS conference will focus on the ways in which specific texts have
been edited throughout history. The aim of the conference is to chart
tendencies that mark different periods in the history of scholarly editing
by examining the evolution of editing important texts such as the Divina
Commedia, the Nibelungen sagas, the Canterbury Tales, Esopet, the Bible.
Within certain periods, it might be necessary to distinguish different
editorial traditions in different parts of Europe. Interested scholars are
invited to write an abstract for papers that follow the editorial tradition
of a text, either within a specific historical period or leading up to the
present day, including new developments in electronic editing.

The conference will be organized in Amsterdam on Friday 16 and Saturday 17
December 2005 (following an ESF exploratory workshop on 'Scholarly editing
and nation building in Europe', 14-15 December 2005).

The organizers of this conference are the European Society for Textual
Scholarship (ESTS; http://www.cta.dmu.ac.uk/ests/), the Dutch Constantijn
Huygens Institute (CHI), the University of Amsterdam, the University of
Antwerp, in cooperation with the Huizinga Institute (Research Institute and
Graduate School of Cultural History) and the Institute of Culture and
History (University of Amsterdam).
