SUMMARY:SSNS Seminar – The CODICUM Project with Professor Åslaug Ommundsen
DESCRIPTION:The SSNS Seminar Series continues on Thursday 16th October 2025 with Professor Åslaug Ommundsen for their talk on The CODICUM Project.\nThis is a free, ticketed event; please register below.\nAbstract:\nBeginning in 2025, CODICUM is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary research project that explores the rich world of medieval manuscript fragments in Northern Europe (c. 1000-1500). These often overlooked pieces of parchment offer an unparalleled window into the literary culture, craftsmanship, and interconnected knowledge networks that shaped the region and linked it to Europe.\nThrough a combination of traditional manuscript studies, cutting-edge scientific analysis, and innovative digital techniques, CODICUM aims to reconstruct lost books, chart the flow of ideas, and reveal the hidden histories of this fascinating era.\nVisit www.codicum.eu ( http://www.codicum.eu ) to find out more. The project is delivered in partnership with University of Bergen, University of Helsinki, University of Southern Denmark, University of Copenhagen, The Swedish National Archives and the Royal Danish Library.\nBio:\nProfessor Åslaug Ommundsen works at the University of Bergen, where she researches fragments from medieval manuscripts in Latin, focusing on the development of book production in Norway. In 2024 the ERC Synergy Grant awarded funding to the CODICUM project, which will see Åslaug working alongside other researchers to apply groundbreaking biomolecular analysis of fragments from 50,000 medieval Latin book fragments written on animal skin and preserved in Nordic collections.\nRegistration below. Details for the Zoom meeting will be emailed in advance of the seminar.\n
