The John Rylands Research Institute has just announced full funding (at home / EU level) for two PhD scholarships in areas related to the strengths of the John Rylands Library’s special collections. The Library has particularly rich collections of incunabula and early modern religious printed texts (amongst other areas of strength). I would be very happy to talk to interested applicants or to direct them towards appropriate colleagues.

Full information on the new PhD scholarships can be found here:
