[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Deadline extended:

European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) Conference 2005

Friday 16 and Saturday 17 December 2005, Amsterdam

Theme: Histories of editions

Abstracts (300 words) for 20-minute papers can be sent to the chairman
of the academic programme committee: herman.brinkman@chi.knaw.nl

Deadline for abstracts: March 1, 2005.

The 2005 ESTS conference will focus on the ways in which specific texts
have been edited throughout history. The aim of the conference is to
chart tendencies that mark different periods in the history of scholarly
editing by examining the evolution of editing important texts such as
the Divina Commedia, the Nibelungen sagas, the Canterbury Tales, Esopet,
the Bible. Within certain periods, it might be necessary to distinguish
different editorial traditions in different parts of Europe. Interested
scholars are invited to write an abstract for papers that follow the
editorial tradition of a text, either within a specific historical
period or leading up to the present day, including new developments in
electronic editing.

The conference will be organized in Amsterdam on Friday 16 and Saturday
17 December 2005 (following an ESF exploratory workshop on 'Scholarly
editing and nation building in Europe', 14-15 December 2005).

The organizers of this conference are the European Society for Textual
Scholarship (ESTS; http://www.cta.dmu.ac.uk/ests/), the Dutch
Constantijn Huygens Institute (CHI), the University of Amsterdam, the
University of Antwerp, in cooperation with the Huizinga Institute
(Research Institute and Graduate School of Cultural History) and the
Institute of Culture and History (University of Amsterdam).
