Research
Dr Tinaburri was awarded CENDARI funding to pursue a research project under one of the CENDARI project’s pilot areas – Medieval European Culture – and throughout her fellowship period, she will be based in the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute. Dr Tinaburri’s research is titled “Miscellaneous Manuscripts in the Medieval Germanic World” and her research proposes to list and describe medieval miscellaneous manuscript books produced in Germanic linguistic areas (Anglo-Saxon England, Scandinavia, Northern and Southern Germany, Northern Italy) from the VIth to the XIVth century.
The project focused on miscellaneous manuscripts, i.e. on manuscripts conceived as a repository of different texts arranged in a sequence and usually drawn from various sources, whose mutual relations are not always clear to the modern scholar. Dr Tinaburri aimed to produce a comprehensive list of miscellaneous manuscripts containing texts in one of the Germanic languages and bilingual texts both in one of the Germanic languages and in Latin. Her research project investigated the testing of a more comprehensive way of describing the transmission of texts and manuscripts in the Middle Ages.
Dr Tinaburri gave a lecture titled 'Miscellaneous Manuscripts in the Medieval Germanic World' in the Trinity Long Room Hub on November 26 2014 at the Trinity Long Room Hub.
