The Ecole des chartes is happy to introduce you to the new chapter of
the online Cartulaire blanc of the French abbey of Saint-Denis
(http://elec.enc.sorbonne.fr/cartulaireblanc/) : Rueil-Malmaison
(http://elec.enc.sorbonne.fr/cartulaireblanc/rueil/). The Web site has
been technically and graphically upgraded.
The Cartulaire blanc of Saint-Denis is the most important cartulary of
the abbey of Saint-Denis. It contains about 2600 transcriptions of
charters, compiled between 1270 and 1300. The electronic edition grant
easy access to this large collection of sources, published online
chapter after chapter as the work is done by the Ecole des chartes'
students under the direction of Olivier Guyotjeannin, professor of
diplomatic.
Each page of the site is dynamically generated from XML files using the
TEI DTD (eg. :
http://elec.enc.sorbonne.fr/cartulaireblanc/xml/cartulaire.xml). The
navigation has been improved to allow a faster access to contents. The
interface has been adapted to fit to the graphic charter of the Ecole
des chartes' Websites and has been optimized to ease reading and
exploitation of informations. For further informations, see Technical
Principles
(http://elec.enc.sorbonne.fr/cartulaireblanc/introgenerale3/#partie4)
and Encoding Guidelines
(http://elec.enc.sorbonne.fr/cartulaireblanc/guidebalisage/) (only
french versions available).

As you have just seen from the last posting, the DM news server is now
able to post to the list. There is also a web-based form that allows you
to submit (and preview) news items
<http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/newitem.cfm> (if you have disabled
popups in your browser, you may find the bottom "preview" button doesn't
work; the one at the top of the form does). The server posts the
headline to the list, and the RSS feed is available for syndication.
Let me encourage you to use this service to announce
-new software,
-conference, book or journal calls for papers
-upcoming symposia or lectures
-new publications (CD-ROMs, Books, special issues of journals, etc.)
In general, these announcements should be non-commercial in nature and
be submitted by the author of the announcement. Please do not repost
announcements unless you have permission from the original author, and
do *not* submit copyrighted feeds from other sources (e.g. newspaper
articles). Submissions are mailed to the DM editors who have final say
concerning publication.

Hello all,
Does anybody know of an adaptable auto-install program that would
install fonts when a CD is loaded? I'm looking for something that
ideally would be open source, work equally well in most environments
(e.g. Win, Mac, Linux). Its main function would be to install a font a
project needs and, if possible, start a web-page up in the user's
default browser.

Something for us? Not really a standards-based question, but I'm sure a
fairly common problem.

About the Conference
Classical, Medieval, and Byzantine scholars have long relied on academic
symposia and printed media to disseminate the fruits of their research. In
the last two decades, the Internet and the World Wide Web have made new
forms of publication possible. Electronic journals have been founded, such
as the Bryn Mawr Classical Review and the Medieval Review. Academic
websites, including De Imperatoribus Romanis, Perseus, Diotima, Electronic
Antiquity, ORB, Lacus Curtius, the Stoa, and the Medieval Sourcebook,
provide wide audiences with primary materials, scholarly studies, and access
to other resources. Search engines like Index Antiquus have been developed
to help navigate the rapidly multiplying opportunities of this new medium.
In spite of these advances, the Internet is just beginning to fulfill its
potential as a scholarly medium. This conference will address various ways
in which the World Wide Web is being, and can be, developed, in the fields
of Classical, Medieval, and Byzantine studies. Participants are encouraged
to use their imaginations in considering different ways in which the WEB can
help to promote ancient and medieval studies. Presentations are not only of
a theoretical nature, but also of a practical, "how-to", nature.
