Herman Charles Hoskier

Hoskier’s work as a starting point for the discussion. Short papers are invited

century textual scholarship, manuscript collections in Ireland, the future of the critical
edition, the digital humanities and the Bible, Hoskier’s text critical work and
current developments in the field, the versions in textual scholarship, the Editio
Critica Maior, manuscripts as objects and material culture, trends and
prospects in textual criticism, text critical method, the future of textual
