Between 27 February and 10 March 2017, Dr Adrian Papahagi taught a course of Codicology in Rome. Students from Austria, Norway, Romania, Spain and the United States, enrolled in the Diplôme Européen d’Études Médiévales (DEEM) learnt how to describe medieval manuscripts. We spent a week working with manuscripts at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma, and took a field trip to the Umbrian city of Bevagna to see how paper was made in the Middle Ages.
