The 2nd Webinars Cycle “Dialogues of Art, History and Law” is organized by the Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM- NOVA/FCSH), together with the IUS ILLUMINATUM research team and in partnership with the Portuguese Heraldry Institute (IPH), the Capitular Library of Verona and the Capitular Library of Vercelli.
This initiative, organized by a scientific and organizational committee composed of members of the IUS ILLUMINATUM research team, coordinated by researcher Maria Alessandra Bilotta, PI of the team, aims to establish a fruitful dialogue between different scientific disciplines, namely History of Art, History, and History of Law, necessary for the study of illuminated legal manuscripts and documents.
This initiative also aims to facilitate synergies between different areas of knowledge and to disseminate the results of research to a broader audience, always maintaining scientific rigor, to promote the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in the study of manuscripts and medieval legal documents, drawing attention to the importance of conserving that heritage.
The Doctoral Research Workshop constitutes a special session of the Webinar cycle Dialogues of Art, History, and Law and is organized by the IUS ILLUMINATUM research team in collaboration with the usual partner’s organizers of the Webinar cycle together with the National Ph.D. Course in Heritage Sciences of the Sapienza Università di Roma and the Dipartimento di Studi Storici of the Università di Torino.
