Description

This session follows the highly successful sessions on Ibero-Romance Paleography in 2017 and 2018, which had large numbers of attendees and received enthusiastic support from the Ibero-medievalists at the congress. This workshop is devoted to the presentation of different paleographic standards for the transcription of Ibero-Romance documents, with emphasis on the medieval and early-modern periods. Mention to both manuscript and early printed documents, be they in textual, paratextual or iconographic form, will be made to illustrate the different practices. Emphasis will be placed on conflicting or problematic issues in transcribing Ibero-Romance documents and in the different approaches to their resolution. The workshop intends to include time for paleographic practice among the attendees. Proposals for participation as a presenter in this workshop, led by Francisco Gago-Jover, Pablo Pastrana-Pérez, and Donna Rogers should include the following information in the abstract: a brief background of the presenter, including paleoghraphic work performed, and a description of the presentation.
