Old English Aerobics changes
by Peter Baker 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

A quick note any for Old English teachers on this list who use my Old English Aerobics site (http://www.oldenglishaerobics.net). Beginning around the middle of August users must have accounts to access most of the resources (texts and exercises, and eventually more things) on the site. For instructors there will be some new goodies: anyone with an instructor account can very simply give students in their courses the ability to get their own student accounts. These accounts are linked to yours so that you can monitor students' performance on the on-line exercises, making it simpler to identify those who need additional help. There will also be easier access to the answer-keys for the traditional paper-based exercises. I am trusting that the benefits will be enough to offset any minor inconveniences. Though login won't be required before 15 August, it is possible to request accounts now. They are free, and I can promise that those who sign up won't be subjected to spam or other indignities. Further details on the site itself. Peter Baker

Inquisitions Post Mortem (1236-1509) project seeks your views
by Tupman, Charlotte 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

The Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London is undertaking a short information gathering exercise for a resource that is likely to be of great use to those studying fifteenth century England. The project is concerned with Inquisitions Post Mortem (IPMs), which are records of the lands held at death by tenants of the crown. Thousands of IPMs are held at the National Archives, and some have been calendared. Our project will make the IPMs from 1236 to 1509 a freely accessible digital resource for historians, genealogists, and other interested parties. We would very much value the input of experts in the field to ensure that we create a resource that best meets the needs of its users. If you would be interested in completing a brief questionnaire about the resource, please visit the IPM blog for more information: http://bit.ly/NHLhmW The questionnaire will be open until Friday 3rd August. If you have any questions about the project, please contact charlotte.tupman(a)kcl.ac.uk With many thanks, David Little Charlotte Tupman -- Dr. Charlotte Tupman Project Research Associate Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 7145 www.kcl.ac.uk/ddh

Many thanks for the suggestions everyone. Installing Latin dictionary is so easy in OpenOffice, I sure hope Microsoft can get its act together someday. jw On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 11:43 AM, Maxim Romanov <romanov.maxim(a)gmail.com>wrote: > > Best regards, > Maxim G.

Getting Latin Spell Check for Word 2011 ON A MAC
by Jeffrey C. Witt 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Dear Fellow Medievalist, Can anyone help me get a Latin Spell Checker installed for Microsoft Word 2011 on a Mac. I'm switching from a PC to a Mac. On my PC I had COL - Correcteur Orthographique de Latin installed and working fairly well I've tried to recreate this on my Mac. I've downloaded the newest release of COL - Correcteur Orthographique de Latin - Correttore Ortografico di Latino - Corrector Ortográfico de Latín from http://www.drouizig.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=75%3Ac… However, the download is an .msi file, which is a windows file ext. So is it possible for me to get this working on mac? Has one else done this? Is there a better solution? Thanks for your help. -- Dr. Jeffrey C. Witt Philosophy Department Loyola University Maryland 4501 N. Charles St. Baltimore, MD 21210 www.jeffreycwitt.com
