SUMMARY:SIMS Online Lecture: Grid as Ground: Ruled Lines and Manuscript Images
DESCRIPTION:Grid as Ground: Ruled Lines and Manuscript Images\n\nHanna 
 Vorholt\, University of York\n\nRESCHEDULED TO FRIDAY\, APRIL 17 (was 
 Friday\, February 20)\, 2026\, 12:00 - 1:30 pm EDT\n\nMost printed and 
 electronic documents\, like this one\, show text organized along invisible 
 horizontal and vertical lines. In medieval Europe\, where the primary text 
 technology was the manuscript\, lines formed visible grids on the parchment 
 or paper surface. Scholars have examined the resulting patterns and 
 analysed their role in the layout of the written text. While manuscript 
 images were frequently executed on the same ruled surfaces as the written 
 text\, their relationship to the ruling has rarely been the subject of 
 research. Hanna Vorholt’s forthcoming book Grid as Ground provides the 
 first sustained analysis of this topic across the wide range of image types 
 encountered in manuscripts\, from tables\, maps\, and diagrams\, to figural 
 imagery across different domains of learning. The lecture introduces the 
 project and some of the opportunities this analysis presents for humanities 
 research on lines and grids as tools for cognition\, creativity\, and 
 control.
