When I was a PhD student, I came across a web page with some very practical advice from Danuta Shanzer for presenters at conferences. I read it many times and found it very useful. Here is my own version of ‘Advice for lecturers’.

This is a very short and simple guide for people who want to start working on digital editions, but are completely unfamiliar with XML and TEI.

Ground-breaking research into the history and culture of medieval Ireland has recently been undergoing a huge expansion, with significant investment coming from funding agencies in Ireland and the EU.

Research on early medieval Latin manuscripts has been utterly transformed in the past 15 years or so by the ever-increasing availability of high-quality digital images online.

In 2024 I had the great fortune to make a return visit to Japan, where we had the opportunity to see more precious manuscripts.

In 2013 I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in an international workshop held in Japan aiming to explore affinities between the earliest glossing traditions of Europe and East Asia.

This post aims to collect some online map resources for early medieval Ireland.
