Two Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) in Medieval History are available at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History, University of Oslo. The positions will be associated with the ERC Advanced Grant project 101018645 MINiTEXTS “Minuscule Texts: Marginalized Voices in Early Medieval Latin Culture (c. 700–c.1000)”, funded by the European Research Council and led by Professor Ildar Garipzanov (Principal Investigator).

MINiTEXTS seeks to systematically study early medieval Latin minuscule texts (also known as “guest texts” or “microtexts”), i.e. short texts which were added in large numbers, before c. 1000, to flyleaves, margins and other blank spaces of pre-900 Latin manuscripts. MINiTEXTS examines such textual additions as a unique corpus of practical knowledge deeply embedded in the social praxis of early medieval society and aspires to understand the “social logic” of such texts as well as the social, religious, and cultural practices that they signify.

Applicants are invited to submit doctoral proposals that fall within the project’s research program and objectives, and that plan on using a specifically defined group of early medieval minuscule texts (ether typologically or unified by provenance) as their main primary evidence. The following three themes related to MINiTEXTS’ Sub-project 2 (Practical Knowledge & Social Practices) and Sub-project 4 (Christian Rites & Religious Practices) will be prioritized in the selection process:

• social interactions of Western European monasteries and/or episcopal centers with their broader social networks from c. 700 to c. 1000;
• the cultural history of early medieval exorcism in Western Europe, with a focus on the period from c. 700 to. c.1000;
• early medieval minor annals and their unique manuscript settings.

The successful projects will be supervised by Professor Ildar Garipzanov.

More about the position

The person appointed will be part of the Faculty’s organized research training and the Norwegian Graduate School in History. The academic work is to result in a doctoral thesis that will be defended at the Faculty with a view to obtaining the degree of PhD.
