This is the home page for the NEER Research Cluster entitled Manuscript Studies and Early European Research.

This Cluster will strengthen collaborative research in the field of manuscript studies by helping to bring together a group of senior scholars, middle and early career researchers, and postgraduate students, with related interests who have already made a valuable and sustained contribution to Australian-based research in this area, and who are interested in working with younger colleagues. The Cluster is interdisciplinary in scope, with an emphasis on the following areas: the relationship of text, decoration and illustration in the hand-made book; the function of particular manuscript genres; and the interaction between social and patronal contexts and manuscript production. The Cluster is committed to the fostering of research in Manuscript Studies in Australia and New Zealand and to the strengthening of international links in this field, especially with respect to research on Australasian manuscript collections, and the provision of collaborative research opportunities for scholars and curators based in Australia and New Zealand.
