In the spirit of open collaboration which permeates the Bodmer Lab project, a call for contributions has been announced by the Handwritten French Manuscripts Constellation, seeking collaborations with all the members of the Faculty of Letters. This “crowdsourcing” project seeks to produce descriptive catalogue notices for the author manuscripts held at the Martin Bodmer Foundation.
These research endeavours will also make it possible to follow the historical circulation of these exceptional manuscripts from their authors to the present day. This call for contributions provides the opportunity for the Handwritten French Manuscripts Constellation to show a first sample of its previously unpublished research: site visitors can follow the circulation of a letter written by Corneille, the only privately-owned handwritten document from the legendary dramaturge.
