Elvira Wakelnig (Section Manuscript Cultures) and Matthias Meyer (Section Middle Ages and Early Modern Age) inform about the following confernce:
Re-mediating the Early Book: Pasts and Futures (REBPAF) is a Marie Curie Doctoral Training Network coordinated by the University of Galway, which focuses on the ways in which 15th and 16th-century book producers (scribes, printers, entrepreneurs) negotiated the dynamic relations between the manuscript and the printed book and adapted to the evolving challenges of the market. It also explores the continuing relevance of these cultural and economic negotiations to the modern world.
The network will be hosting an international conference at the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin from 23-25 June 2026.
We invite papers or posters on late medieval and early modern book culture, broadly conceived. Although we warmly welcome contributions focusing on any linguistic or national context, the working language of the conference will be English.
Abstracts of up to 300 words, along with a short CV, should be sent to rebpaf@universityofgalway.ie by 15 December 2025
