by Brookes, Stewart 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Dear all, The Models of Authority team are delighted to announce that the sixth DigiPal Symposium will take place at King's College London on Monday 5th September 2016. Topics covered will include digital connoisseurship and strategies for curation; building apps for medieval manuscripts; a new device to use x-ray technology to search for medieval fragments in bookbindings; tools for text-allignment; strategies for outreach when teaching medieval history; visualisations to identify the textual transmission of medieval works; and sustainability in research which uses digital methods. And in case that isn't enough, there'll be tales of digitisation; breaking news on the latest plans to extend the DigiPal framework; and a glimpse of a new tool for plotting a timeline for Scottish charters (or indeed things neither Scottish, nor a charter). For a list of confirmed speakers, please visit: http://www.modelsofauthority.ac.uk/blog/digipal-vi/ Or just jump straight in and book here: https://digipal-vi.eventbrite.com/ The Symposium will run from 9.30am-7.15pm, with refreshments and lunch included. There's no charge for registration, but if you'd like to attend then please do register or you'll miss out on your chance for a free lunch.

IllUrk - Illuminierte Urkunden: Events and News
by Georg Vogeler 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

*) International Conference, Vienna, HHStA, 1214 September 2016 *) <http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection> http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection: release of first results 1) International Conference, 1214 September 2016 Illuminated Charters from the Margins of Two Disciplines to the Core of Digital Humanities Conference venue: Vienna, Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, Minoritenplatz 1, Dachfoyer Archivists, art historians, medievalists, digital humanists, friends of pattern recognition, media studies, and of objects hidden for centuries: all these (and many more) are the target audience of our meeting. We proudly present speakers from Tampa (Florida), England, France and Italy as well as Estonia and Georgia. We are honoured that Olivier Guyotjeannin (Paris), Elizabeth Danbury (London), Alison Stones (Pittsburgh: Public Lecture, 12 September, 7pm), Irmgard Fees (Munich) and Francesca Manzari (Rome) have accepted our invitation to present papers (programme and abstracts: http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at/de/tagung-12-1492016 <http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at/de/tagung-12-1492016/> ). Much more important, though, is the quality and variety of topics: discussions about data-modelling, best-practice examples of combined presentations of image and metadata are highlights of the digital part. Surveys of regional characteristics (England, Lombardy, Venice, Rome, Latvia and Lithuania, Georgia) and in depth-studies of single objects are very intentionally combined as necessary methodological contrast. Studies focusing on archival holdings in specific regions lead to papers dealing with chanceries and special types of charters, which are regularly decorated with artistic means. These means range from graphic signs developing in private charters in St Gall during the 8th century to signs characteristic of specific types of charters and highly refined artefacts made for famous late medieval collectors, and finally to (printed) charters which are equally perfect advertising media. The organizing team (Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler, Andreas Zajic) is pleased to invite you to this conference. Due to the limited space available at the Dachfoyer of the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, we kindly ask you to register in time: <https://goo.gl/forms/RkWlbVKwaxpUwcz52>https://goo.gl/forms/RkWlbVKwaxpUwcz52 or send a mail to <mailto:illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com> illuminierteurkunden(a)gmail.com. 2) Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler and Andreas Zajic have decided after a peer-reviewing-process and internal discussions to publish first results of the FWF project Illuminated Charters as ´Gesamtkunstwerk´. <http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection> http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection 678 illuminated collective indulgences are freely accessible for everyone. We are well aware that we can only present work in progress. This is true for the digital part as well as for the content. Part of the indexing work has still to be implemented into the search environment and depth of information varies significantly. Partly this is a deliberate decision, because it does not make sense to offer extensive abstracts for poorly decorated objects which are only of importance due to their character as forerunners to later, more extensively illuminated indulgences. On the other hand there are charters which deserve more in-depth treatment, but parts of the description ([extensive] abstract, diplomatic comment, description of decoration and art-historical commentary) are still lacking. We hope, however, that users are willing to accept such shortcomings in order to get access more quickly. We want to encourage each and every user to give us feedback ( <mailto:illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com> illuminierteurkunden(a)gmail.com) such as additions, corrections (including typos), hints to additional sources, images or reference literature; do not hesitate to point out amendments no matter how small.

CFP _ Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts Sponsored Session at 52st International Congress on Medieval Studies
by Ransom, Lynn 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Call for Papers Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts Sponsored Session at the 52st International Congress on Medieval Studies Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, May 11-14, 2017 We seek proposals for the following session: Networks of Transmission: Histories and Practices of Collecting Medieval Manuscripts and Documents This session will focus on the mapping of those networks of sale and purchase through which medieval manuscripts have been pursued and on the collectors and collecting that have catalyzed this transmission across the centuries. This session - like The Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts itself - is rooted in the belief that studying manuscripts' provenance can have dynamic and profound effects not only on our understanding of these medieval materials as objects to be bought and sold but also on their texts through mapping their circulation and reception. We particularly welcome proposals that explore diverse topics from the role of digital technologies such as the SDBM in conducting provenance research, the relationship between institutional and private ownership of manuscripts, specific case studies of collecting practices, the transatlantic travels of medieval materials, collectors' roles in the dispersal of libraries and the fragmentation of manuscripts, collectors and manuscript preservation, and how a manuscript's provenance history can affect its value and collectability on the rare books market, to how collectors and the act of collecting can shape and influence interpretations of manuscript evidence. Please send proposals with a one-page abstract and Participant Information Form (www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html<http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html>) to Lynn Ransom (lransom(a)upenn.edu<mailto:lransom@upenn.edu> ) by September 1, 2016.

by Keinan-Schoonbaert, Adi 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Dear all, I would like to invite you to participate in a survey to find out if and how the British Library can improve access to digitised Hebrew manuscripts and content about its digitised collection, and whether it can be of assistance with digital research using the collection. The Hebrew Manuscripts Digitisation Project<http://www.bl.uk/hebrew-manuscripts> has been digitising items from the British Library's significant collection of Hebrew hand-written books, charters and scrolls, in order to make them available online. It should not take more than 5-10 minutes to complete the survey. https://goo.gl/forms/aJDdxkCaISuJjLkF3 The survey will close on Tuesday 16 August. Thank you in advance for any response you can give. Apologies for cross-posting.
