Handbook of Glossing (G1)

Editors: Pádraic Moran, Matthew Zisk

About

The Handbook of Glossing will be a new publication that will document, for the first time, the full extent of the practice of glossing internationally, while providing outlines of new theoretical and conceptual frameworks that can be used by researchers both engaged in individual fields and working comparatively. It will be a multi-authored work, drawing on expertise from specialists in a wide range of fields.

The Handbook will be published by De Gruyter in the series Studies in Manuscript Cultures, under the editorial direction of the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures, University of Hamburg.

The book will be published in hard copy and will also be available Open Access in electronic format from the De Gruyter website. We hope to publish in early 2025.
