What is a book? Simply the words on a page? Or is it more? Is there something missing in our experience of reading?

Led by researchers at the University of Glasgow, scholars who are interested in working with manuscript traditions, paratexts, aesthetics or a combination of these topics, are invited to apply for grants of up to £120,000 as part of the Paratexts Seeking Understanding project. Through the world-renowned manuscript collection at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland, scholars will work with their scientific team to craft empirical and experimental studies that test what we can learn through paratexts.

For more information on how to apply, visit [ Ссылка ] or email paratexts@glasgow.ac.uk. Applications are due 15 April 2023.
