Montag | 09.15 Uhr | Manuscript Heritage of Odisha Manuscriptology and Digital Humanities Dr. Mamata Mishra, Prof. K.V. Sarma Research Foundation, Chennai (India) Odia manuscripts i.e. mss. written in Odia script and both in Odia and Sanskrit languages constitute a substantial part of the overall Manuscript Heritage of India. According to one estimate of the National Mission for Manuscripts, Odia mss. form the second largest collection (after Nāgarī) in India. These mss. are mostly written on palm leaves and sometimes illustrated. The collection of Odia mss. is not only vast, but it also has some very rare and unique specimens, for example, the collection of palm-leaf mss. of Paippalāda śākhā of Atharvaveda which is not available elsewhere in the world.

Use of digital applications and electronic equipments is ushering a new era for the study of manuscripts as well. These rapid advancements necessitate a careful and thorough assessment of the desirability, as also possible concerns, of employing them and call for a judicious integration of the new techniques in the workflow of the study and editing of manuscripts. The main aim of this research group is to review and revise the study of South and Southeast Asian manuscripts in the context of the fast evolving discipline of Digital Humanities. Montag, 25.
