Project Description
The goal of the Ad
Fontes project is to identify
the earliest traces of Renaissance Latin in Ireland. Using palaeography
and philological tools, the project will construct an historical
account of the transmission of continental humanist ideas and education
into Ireland.
The project was established by Dr Jason Harris (History Department, UCC) and is carried out in conjunction with the Centre for Neo-Latin Studies in UCC. It is funded by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences. In the course of 2009 and 2010
the project is co-ordinating a series of seminars and workshops on
Neo-Latin and late-medieval palaeography in University College Cork.
A handbook of late-medieval Irish Latin palaeography is currently being prepared by Jason Harris and Kathleen Walker-Meikle. The project is also currently developing an innovative online 'book box' (Scrinium) which contains a collection of digitised late-medieval Irish Latin documents accompanied by transcriptions and translations.
