Towards a Medieval Latin Digital Library - Round Table in Florence
by Center for Comparative Studies 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Towards a Medieval Latin Digital Library - A “Medioevo europeo” workshop (Working group 3 of the COST Action ) April 28, 2014 SISMEL, Firenze, via Montebello 7 A scholarly research in European medieval studies can be only founded on the knowldege and the consultation of the actual sources, which until the XIII century are for the most part in Latin. In this field of studies many digital archives have been growing in last years, which collect medieval Latin texts and documents, and perform different kinds of search on them. A free cross-consultation of such databases could very much help the development of the studies, by giving a unique or at least a main reference for quotations and queries about words, names of persons and places, and concepts across the times and the countries. A first meeting of the responsibles and the operators of those archives can take stock of the actual situation by expounding the different features of every data-base, and will become an occasion to design a project for making the medieval Latin archives interact and develop. 9, 30-13.30 Presentation of the data-bases 1. Agostino Paravicini Bagliani (SISMEL, COST Action Medioevo Europeo) Foreword 2. Clemens Radl (München) MGH digital 3. Maurizio Lana (Vercelli) DigiLibLT 4. Eva Sediki (Zürich) Corpus Corporum 5.

49th ICMS @Kalamazoo: Penn Paleography Workshop CFPP (Call for Paleographical Problems)
by Alex Devine 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

*49th International Congress on Medieval Studies* May 8-11, 2014 **With apologies for cross-posting** *¶ CFPP: Call For Paleographical Problems!* *¶ **Paleography Workshop with The Penn Paleography Group <http://pennpaleography.wordpress.com/>* Sponsored by SIMS (The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies), University of Pennsylvania *¶ *Thursday 8th May, 10am (Session 22 ~ Schneider 1140) This workshop will provide a space for discussing the methodology and practice of paleography in Manuscript Studies and the value of collaborative reading. Rather than a Paleography 101-style workshop, we are eager both to share our experience and to seize the opportunity to open up a larger conversation about paleography with a particular focus on the use of innovative new digital tools and online resources such as Penn in Hand<http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/medren/index.html>and T-PEN <http://t-pen.org/TPEN/>. Topics to be considered may include: how using digital resources has altered our group’s methods of accessing premodern scripts (from written texts and glosses to handwritten addenda and later annotations in early printed books); the dynamics of practicing paleography as a group; and how we can create possibilities for collaborative, interactive transcription. The workshop will consist of three sections: I. A series of ‘lightning presentations’ by group members on selected premodern manuscripts from Penn’s Special Collections, including manuscripts from our newly-acquired Schoenberg Collection<http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/medren/search.html?fq=collection_facet%3A%…>. II. Discussion of the paleographical challenges presented in these and other manuscripts. III. A general discussion section open to all attendees in which we encourage questions about the what, why, and how of paleographical study. We encourage attendees to bring their own paleographical problems for consideration by all workshop participants. If you have a paleographical challenge that you would like to share in the workshop (preferably accompanied by jpg files of the pertinent folios of your Ms.), it would be helpful for you to contact us in advance, although you are of course very welcome to simply bring your challenges on the day. ** All Are Welcome! No Registration Required ** However if you would like to confirm your interest in participating in this workshop or to contact us with details of your paleographical problems, please e-mail Alexander Devine at aldevine(a)sas.upenn.edu. -- Alexander Devine The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies The Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books & Manuscripts Van Pelt-Dietrich Library 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 aldevine(a)sas.upenn.edu (215) 898-7851 pennpaleography.wordpress.com schoenberginstitute.wordpress.com
