Manos is a collaborative project, dedicated to analysis and dissemination of information about the treasure-trove of some 3,000 surviving manuscripts of Spanish classical theater.
Manos is directed by Margaret R. Greer (Duke) and Alejandro García-Reidy (IEMYRhd, USAL). It is part of the ASODAT project and is funded by MCIU/AEI/FEDER, EU (ref.PGC2018-096004-A-100).
