This three-day international conference hosted at Leiden University by the ERC Consolidator-funded FEATHERS project aims to bring together researchers working on early modern scribal culture and manuscript production. With a particular focus on three distinct genres of the secular manuscript industry – literary texts, letters and legal records – the conference seeks to explore the agency and influence of scribes, scribblers, secretaries, scriveners, and other manuscript users in order to shed light on their role in the production of early modern manuscripts.
Proposal deadline: 20 December 2024
