A Textual Adventure from 15th-century Oceanic Rutters to 21st-century XML Code – European Researchers’ Night 2023

We will welcome visitors to the inner sanctum of the project, where we combine centuries-old manuscript study with cutting edge literature and digital technology, to bring to life the science and technology of early pilots. From the Iberian shores through the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, we will show how our understanding of the globe was changed by the knowledge and the skill of early navigators.
