The Hilandar Research Library (HRL), in collaboration with the Resource Center for Medieval Slavic Studies (RCMSS) and the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures (SEELC) at The Ohio State University, offers a biennial four-week Medieval Slavic Summer Institute (MSSI) in Columbus, Ohio. This intensive program caters to graduate students and focuses on two key areas: Manuscript Description and Access and Readings in Church Slavonic, utilizing microform materials from the HRL’s extensive collection. The curriculum includes lectures and hands-on assignments related to manuscript study and specific topics. Participants, limited to a maximum of 12, are expected to master the skills necessary to describe original Slavic manuscripts by the program’s conclusion. However, due to its rigorous nature, MSSI does not accommodate outside commitments such as teaching online courses or extensive individual research. Eligible applicants should be graduate students with a BA degree and proficiency in Cyrillic and at least one Slavic language, with preference given to those knowledgeable in Old Church Slavonic or other pre-modern Slavic languages. The HRL boasts the world’s largest collection of medieval Slavic Cyrillic texts on microform, sourced from over 100 institutions in twenty-three countries, comprising over 6,000 Cyrillic manuscripts and over 1,000 early pre-1800 printed books, spanning from the eleventh to twentieth centuries, with a notable concentration from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, predominantly East Slavic and South Slavic in origin.
