Durham University’s Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS) is launching two new short courses: Manuscripts Up Close: An Introduction to Codicology and Working with Early Printed Books, 1476-1700, which are both fully online, one-week courses which can be taken flexibly and remotely. These will sit alongside their popular two-week courses, Latin European Medieval Palaeography and Reading English Handwriting 1500-1700.

Both Manuscripts Up Close: An Introduction to Codicology and Working with Early Printed Books, 1476-1700 are designed to include a week’s worth of material, which students have access to for eight weeks, allowing them to learn at their own pace. The courses are supported by two live, online Q&A sessions, which are optional to attend.
