Global and Local Scholarship on Annotated Manuscripts
(Dr Pádraic Moran)
GLOSSAM is a four-year research project funded by the IRC Laureate Awards. The GLOSSAM project will enhance our understanding of reading, education, scholarship, and knowledge transfer in the pre-modern world, by creating new narratives, conceptual frameworks, digital tools and methodological models for the study of glosses. Glosses are the paratexts transmitted between the lines and in the margins of manuscript books, micro-texts that control how the central texts were read and interpreted.
