We have prepared a web page for potential graduate students and their
advisors, advertising the concentration of specialists in many aspects
of historical linguistics at the University of Manchester, now a
world-class centre for the subject. Please have a look at

http://www.art.man.ac.uk/english/pgdegree/manhstlx.htm

The page gives a brief listing of projects currently in progress at
Manchester, scholars, and courses, with links to all the relevant
information.

MEDIEVAL SLAVIC SUMMER INSTITUTE

JUNE 21-JULY 9, 1999

THE HILANDAR RESEARCH LIBRARY/RESOURCE CENTER FOR MEDIEVAL SLAVIC
STUDIES AND THE DEPARTMENT OF SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN LANGUAGES AND
LITERATURES

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, COLUMBUS, OHIO

The Hilandar Research Library (HRL)/Resource Center for Medieval
Slavic Studies (RCMSS) and the Department of Slavic and East European
Languages and Literatures at The Ohio State University will host a
three-week intensive summer institute in Columbus, Ohio, June 21 -
July 9, 1999.  Two courses will be offered: Practical Slavic
Paleography (Slavic 870) and Readings in Church Slavonic (Slavic 812).
Both courses will use manuscript materials on microform from the
Hilandar Research Library's extensive holdings.  Participants will
have the opportunity to work with original manuscripts and to conduct
their own individualized research in the HRL.  A program of lectures
on related topics, films, and other activities are planned.

The Hilandar Research Library, the largest repository of medieval
Slavic Cyrillic texts on microform in the world, includes the holdings
of 71 monastic, private, museum and library collections from 20
countries.  There are over 4000 Cyrillic manuscripts on microform in
the collection (more than a million pages), as well as over 700
Cyrillic printed books from prior to 1800 on microfilm (more than half
a million pages).  The holdings range from the eleventh to twentieth
centuries, with a particularly strong collection of manuscripts from
the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries.  About half of the manuscripts
are East Slavic, with much of the remainder South Slavic in
provenience.

For further information about the Hilandar Research Library, please
visit the HRL/RCMSS website at

The Slavic Department website address is

Eligibility: Applicants must have a B.A. degree and a reading
knowledge of Cyrillic and at least one Slavic language.  Preference
will be given to applicants with a reading knowledge of Church
Slavonic or some other pre-modern Slavic language.  Please note that
the OSU Slavic Department will offer the preliminary language course
in Old Church Slavonic (Slavic 810) Spring Quarter, 1999.

Credit: Students in the Medieval Slavic Summer Institute can receive
10 graduate credit hours at The Ohio State University.  Graduate
students from the universities of the CIC (the Consortium for
Institutional Cooperation) may be eligible to enroll under the
Traveling Scholars Program (refer to your home institution for
details).

Housing: On-campus accommodations can be arranged for participants
with sufficient advance notice.

Financial Aid:  A limited amount of financial assistance will be
available.
