Rediscovering and Reinventing


Research in Medieval Studies

Reimagining Research in Medieval


Studies
Sitting with your laptop
in Parsippany, you may as
well be in Paris.
Perhaps
you
are
reading
about
the
portrayal of Jean de
Meun in a recent article
in
Digital
Philology,
The Foot on Which He
Limps: Jean Gerson
and the Rehabilitation
of Jean de Meun in
Arsenal 3339 by Lori
Walters. With one click
in the article, you are transported instantly to the
Bibliothque de lArsenal in Paris, where you are
able to view the original image in the text of Jean
de Meun on his deathbead (http://romandelarose.
org/#read;Arsenal3339.156r.tif).
What new synapses might fire? What new
intellectual interrogations might this engender?
What notes might you make on a future direction
for research?
Only one thing is certain: reading Digital
Philology will reignite the passion you have for
medieval studies.
The essays in Digital Philologys inaugural
collection speak to the promise and the significance
of this new journal for the field of medieval studies.
They are incisive, inventive, and ground-breaking;
they find in the tools and data, the archives and
the interdisciplinary methods of digital scholarship
new energy for conventional philological study,
new applications for critical theory, and new ways
of thinking about the medieval past and its presentday influence.

Medieval goes Digital...

...the chasm is bridged.

At last, the divide between the diverse disciplines in medieval studies


the fields of study, national boundaries, and periodizationsis spanned.
So, too, is the daunting gap between traditional medieval scholarship
and digital resources. The increase in original source data is no longer an
overwhelming mass of material, but rather a coherent, fresh, and exciting
portal for new research protocols, new hypotheses, and new dimensions for
philological inquiry.
With the publication of Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures,
scholars of the medieval manuscripts originating from widely scattered
repositories and global rare book holdings can gather in one research forum
and do what they do best: question.

And thus, advance the field of medieval studies.
