Course Description
This course has been designed for students with an interest in archival research, critical editing, life-writing and document-based and intellectual histories. Training in the skills required to pursue these interests is central to the programme. It should be stressed that these skills are an essential and indispensable part of the distinctive CELL training, which is primarily envisaged as a preparatory training for those intending to progress on to a PhD programme. The compulsory core course provides the skills required for archival research in manuscript and early modern print production. Teaching is by seminars, workshops and field trips to relevant institutions including the Plantin-Moretus Print Museum in Antwerp. A Latin class enables even beginners to become sufficiently familiar with Latin primers and dictionaries to be able to make ad hoc translations of Latin phrases, sentences and short texts. Beginners' Greek is also available. Students are trained to use information technology to enhance editing skills and modular courses encourage them to use these skills intellectually and creatively.
