Since its inception over 20 years ago, the Roman de la Rose Digital Library has
been enabling scholars to produce high-quality research based on over 130
digitized manuscripts of the famous 13th-century narrative by
Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun. We are now about to launch our latest
version of the site, featuring an International Image Interoperability
Framework (IIIF) compliant viewer that will support enhanced interaction with
manuscript images.
We are seeking submissions that present scholarship based on
digitized images of the Roman de la Rose,
or that offer a theoretical take on using such images for researching or
teaching the narrative, its miniatures, or its manuscripts. How has the Rose Digital Library been used in
research and teaching? What scholarship has resulted from being able to access
this wealth of digitized images? How has being able to compare multiple images
led to a greater understanding of medieval literary and artistic, and in what
ways might such comparisons skew or obscure understanding if we are not
mindful? How might such a resource be further developed to enhance our
appreciation of this important narrative and promote new avenues of
investigation?
Abstracts for papers of
15-20 minutes or any questions should be sent to Tamsyn Mahoney-Steel (Tamsyn@jhu.edu). The deadline for submissions is September 15 2017. The submission guidelines and the required Participant
Information Form are available at wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions.
