I received an email about this interesting project – using the Wiki platform to create a group-edited critical edition of a 16th century manuscript.
The Devonshire Manuscript is a verse miscellany from the 1530s to the early 1540s and contains works by Sir Thomas Wyatt, Henry Howard Earl of Surrey, as well as several items attributed to women writers, such as Lady Margaret Douglas (later Countess of Lennox) and Mary Howard Fitzroy (wife and then widow of Henry VIII’s illegitimate son Henry Fitzroy Duke of Richmond and Somerset). Previous work on the manuscript has concentrated on Wyatt’s poems but this one seeks to incorporate the whole work and place it into its broader context.
If you’re interested in helping out with the project (or just reading and following its progress) check it out at Wikibooks – The Devonshire Manuscript
I would love to assist and to watch the progress on such a noble cause as this. Seeking “to incorporate the whole work and place it into its broader context” sounds like a task to which I would be very suited.
