London Palaeography School / Rare Books School 2014
Applications have just opened for the London International Palaeography Summer School and London Rare Books School, which run each year in the Institute of English Studies in the School of Advanced Studies, University of London. This has no connection to DigiPal, of course, although I have taught on the Rare Book School in the past, and both programmes look very interesting indeed. I have reproduced their announcement in full, but any questions should be sent to the IES (the address for which is below).
