E-Quadrivium is an online webinar for postgraduate researchers exploring means of accessing and analysing pre-modern primary materials.
Quadrivium is an annual research, careers, and skills training event for postgraduates and early career researchers of medieval and early modern textual studies. The initiative was founded in 2004 where it was supported by AHRC funding. It is run by leading academics who form a network known as the Medieval Manuscripts Research Consortium (MMRC), from the Universities of Glasgow, York, Birmingham, St Andrews, Leicester, De Montfort, Queen’s University Belfast, Sheffield, Kent, Cambridge, and Newcastle.
