Dr Gloria Moorman: new position at the John Rylands Library

Former Warwick Renaissance PhD student Dr Gloria Moorman will soon take up her postdoctoral position at the beautiful John Rylands Library from February 2023, working on the 3yr AHRC funded project, 'Envisioning Dante, c. 1472-c. 1630: Seeing and Reading the Early Printed Page'. The project, led by Guyda Armstrong in Manchester and Simon Gilson in Oxford, offers the first in-depth study of the material features of the early printed page for almost the entire corpus of prints (1472-1629) of Dante's 'Comedy', using cutting-edge machine learning computational technologies and image matching in addition to book-historical, literary and art-historical approaches. The corpus for analysis and for the application of machine vision technology is provided by one of the most complete collections of Renaissance Dante prints in the world, held at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library (JRRIL), Manchester. The project will create the first freely available online digital library containing almost all extant editions of the Comedy, plus editions of some of his other works, reprints, and French and Spanish translations, some 97 books in total.
