Ars Edendi - Att Utge Texter Från Europas Medeltid
Forskningsprogrammet Ars edendi vid Stockholms universitet tilldelades anslag av Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond år 2007. Medeltidens latinska och grekiska texter är centrala för det europeiska kulturarvet, men många av dem är svåra att ge ut, eftersom man i samtiden ofta ändrade, skrev om och redigerade mängder av versioner. Med hjälp av bland annat ett editionsfilologiskt laboratorium har forskarna utformat nya metoder för att ge ut och förstå dessa texter. Detta är programmets slutrapport.
