Call for Papers: Kalamazoo 2014
by Brookes, Stewart 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Call for Papers 49th International Congress on Medieval Studies Western Michigan University 8th-11th May 2014, Kalamazoo, MI Dear all, The DigiPal team (digipal.eu<http://digipal.eu/>) are delighted to invite submissions for the following sessions: "Digital Methods: Anglo-Saxon Manuscript Studies" "Digital Methods: Reading between the Lines of Medieval Manuscripts" To submit an abstract: read the session descriptions below, decide which session suits you best, and then send an abstract of a couple of hundred words or so (we won't count them, but try not to overdo it) to us by 15th September 2013: digipal(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:digipal@kcl.ac.uk> And if you fill in a Participant Information Form, and send that too, we'd be very grateful. You can find the PIF here: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#PIF Oh, and if for some curious reason we *don't* accept your abstract, never fear: any proposals we don't include will be sent to the Congress committee for consideration for general sessions. Looking forward to reading your abstract, Stewart --------------------------------------- SESSION DESCRIPTIONS ---------------------------------------- "Digital Methods: Anglo-Saxon Manuscript Studies" The aim of the papers in this session is to consider what twenty-first century technology might offer us in the study of the handwriting of the scribes who were producing charters, homilies, farming memoranda and other aspects of the written culture of Anglo-Saxon England. Utilising computer-based resources for the study of medieval handwriting, the papers will investigate the development of letter forms; the influence of scriptoria and the politics of writing style; the significance of scribal choices such as vernacular script in preference to, or alongside, Caroline letter forms; and whether text type can be said to determine the style of writing. "Digital Methods: Reading between the Lines of Medieval Manuscripts" Glosses and marginalia in Old English manuscripts have been understudied, with nineteenth century editions often being relied upon in the absence of more recent work. In this session, the papers will ask whether the development of methodologies based in digital technologies affords us the opportunity to produce new work and new discoveries in this area. Areas explored will include the study and detection of scratched glosses; the handwriting of the Old English glosses to the Lindisfarne and Rushworth Gospels; the relationship between so-called main text and writings in the margins; the hierarchy of scripts for glossing and annotation; and producing new edited texts. -- Dr Stewart J Brookes Research Associate Department of Digital Humanities King's College London

CC Attribution Recommendations?
by Michelson, David Allen 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Dear Colleagues, Thanks to those who responded to my previous query about project governance. Though I did not have anything to add in response, I learned a lot from the conversation. I now have a quick question about Creative Commons attribution. For those of you using CC licenses (we are using CC-BY), I would be curious to know the following: *Do you give a recommended wording on your site as to how attribution could be made? For example see this detailed example: http://graduates.treasury.gov.au/content/copyright.asp *Do you ask your users to make explicit when their work is derivative or simple reproducing verbatim? We would like to help users unfamiliar with CC (the majority of our users) by providing a short model attribute statement and I would like to find some good examples to work from. thanks!

Digital Index of Middle English Verse
by Dan Mosser 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

The Digital Index of Middle English Verse www.dimev.net OCLC: 806228661 Linne Mooney, Dan Mosser, Elizabeth Solopova, and David Radcliffe are pleased to take this opportunity at the Thirteenth Biennial Early Book Society Conference in St Andrews to announce the launch of The Digital Index of Middle English Verse. The project, begun in 1995 under the auspices of funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), has been available as a prototype since 2008, and in its current structure since 2011. Additional support from the University of Maine, the Leverhulme Trust, University of York Department of English and Related Literature, the Association for Manuscripts and Archives in Research Collections (AMARC), the Modern Humanities Research Association (MHRA), College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences (Virginia Tech), and the NEH, have allowed us to realize almost all of what was envisioned in 1995: transcriptions of the first two and last two lines of every witness to every scrap of Middle English verse; a searchable database, with "SEARCH RECORDS" options enabling searches by specific DIMEV, IMEV, and NIMEV numbers, browsing by alphabetic or number ranges, searches by AUTHOR, TITLE, SCRIBE, SUBJECT, VERSE FORM, and VERSE PATTERN (or combinations of these); the "SEARCH WITNESSES" option allows one to search MANUSCRIPTS by LOCATION and/or REPOSITORY; lists of early PRINTED BOOKS and INSCRIPTIONS are also available. Where witnesses (MS shelfmarks, etc.) are highlighted, clicking on the witness name will compile a list of that manuscript's Middle English verse contents in their order of appearance in that witness. Where difficult or obsolete words are retained in the standardized headings, these are highlighted and linked to glosses, which may also be accessed by selecting GLOSSARY from the menu on the SEARCH RECORDS page. There, too, are menu selections DELETED RECORDS, or NEW RECORDS. Linguistic information is prepended to many manuscripts when their records are viewed by clicking on their shelfmarks. An extensive BIBLIOGRAPHY of editions and facsimiles of Middle English Verse is also available through a menu selection. Should users detect any errors or be able to supply any missing transcriptions or other data, or wish to make suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact us: Dan Mosser (dmosser(a)vt.edu) Linne Mooney (linne.mooney(a)york.ac.uk) ____________________________ Dan Mosser dmosser(a)vt.edu Office: Shanks 229 Snailmail: Director of Graduate Studies English Department 0112 Shanks Hall 180 Turner Street NW Blacksburg, VA 24061 VOICE: (540) 231-7753 FAX: (540) 231-5692 www.dimev.net www.gravell.org http://wiz.cath.vt.edu/Mosser/wiz/dwmcv/
