The Old Norwegian Charter Material - Research Opportunities and Perspectives
The University of Bergen Library, in collaboration with the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, is organizing a joint meeting on the Old Norwegian charter material.
Main content
Dette arrangementet er et første møte mellom Universitetet i Bergen og Adam Mickiewicz-universitetet i Poznań for å fremme internasjonalt samarbeid, spesielt innen lingvistikk, basert på dette materialet. Hovedarrangørene er Dominika Skrzypek (Poznań, prof. i Nordisk språkvitenskap) og Juliane Tiemann (Bergen, faglig leder for digital utvikling), i samarbeid med Alexandros Tsakos (Bergen, faglig leder for Manuskript- og librarsamling). I Bergen har flere prosjekter gitt grunnlag for flere forskningsperspektiver slik at denne samlinga vil omfatte flere aspekter av det gammelnorske diplommaterialet.
The Old Norwegian charter material held in the Manuscript and Rare Book Collection has been the focus of new projects since 2019, including the collection of comprehensive metadata, the encoding of charters, and further digitization of the material. This collection is rich and fascinating, offering a unique opportunity for research and valuable insight into various aspects of social, political, economic, and cultural life in medieval Norway. Additionally, the charters shed light on linguistic aspects – both synchronically and diachronically.
This event marks the first meeting between the University of Bergen and the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań to promote international collaboration, particularly in linguistics, based on this material. The main organizers are Dominika Skrzypek (Poznań, Professor of Nordic Linguistics) and Juliane Tiemann (Bergen, Academic director of Digital Development), in collaboration with Alexandros Tsakos (Academic director of the Manuscript and Rare Book Collection). In Bergen, several projects have laid the foundation for multiple research perspectives, ensuring that this gathering will cover various aspects of the Old Norwegian charter material.
