Scripta Manent: Manuscript Cultures East and West
AS.140.661 (01)

This seminar looks at manuscripts both as physical objects and as cultural products, through an analysis of their ways of production, material features, and uses in different cultures and contexts. Meetings will be devoted to the codicology, paleography, and philology of manuscripts with a particular focus on the Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic traditions. Indian, Chinese and Japanese contexts will complement the focus of the seminar and provide elements of comparison and wider framing. The seminar will also address recently developed digital tools for the study of manuscripts and provide students with a set of skills and tools for approaching and using manuscript material effectively. The seminar will include hands-on sessions, with viewing of original manuscripts from the rich collections of the Sheridan Libraries and the Walters Art Museum.

Practical History of Science
AS.140.677 (01)

History of science often engages with technical and practical material. Although there are multiple ways of dealing with sources, one crucial one--sometimes neglected in more recent work--is understanding these aspects in a critical way, thinking or practicing with historical actors. This graduate seminar explores reasons and methods for doing so, includes in-depth readings of technical material from various periods and experimental reconstructions, and reviews how such an approach can deepen our historical understanding.
