As from this month, the Leuven Centre for the Transmission of Texts and Ideas in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance has started releasing a monthly e-newsletter. It aims to foster communication internally and externally about the publications, activities and achievements of researchers in the LECTIO network. It also provides a platform for sharing information about opportunities for awards, scholarships and academic positions. Finally, LECTIO e-News wants to nurture an increasingly large community of scholars in the Low Countries and beyond who are passionate about pre-modern intellectual history and the science of text editing. If you consider submitting a news item about your work or an event organized by your research team, please feel free to contact lectio@kuleuven.be.
