In line with one of the editorial mandates of Digital Philology, in this session, we seek to promote discussion around how manuscript research may be predicated upon effective cross-disciplinary work. We invite submissions that not only bring to light new discoveries about a particular manuscript, but also reach across disciplinary boundaries by asking broader methodological or theoretical questions, including but not limited to:
-The materiality of the codex
-The sociopolitical lives of books
-Border crossings: a manuscript that travels across geographical space, across social
-Our digital engagement with medieval books
