- Book illumination (technology, stylistic history, illustrational typology, iconography); palaeography
- Codicology; incunabula studies

SCRIPTO IV offers research seminars by Guglielmo Cavallo (La Sapienza, Rome), Nicole Bériou (IRHT, Paris) and Rudolf Gamper (Vadiana St Gall).
The German Manuscript Centres in Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Munich, Stuttgart and Wolfenbüttel are supportive of the SCRIPTO programme.
