Dear digital medievalists, We are delighted to invite you to the Symposium on the occasion of launching the Online Census 1211-1499 on Friday 30 Oct 2020, 5 pm (CET). The event will be held on Zoom: 850 6121 5062 (Passcode: Census30). Please find below the programme with a brief description of the census and a poster in attachment. Everybody welcome! Regards, Franz *** Private account books in Renaissance Florence. Symposium on the occasion of launching the Online Census 1211-1499 Friday, 30 Oct 2020, 5 pm (CET) Zoom: 850 6121 5062 (Passcode: Census30) WELCOME Introduction to the Online Census Database by Francesco Bettarini and Daniele Fusi (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) LIGHTNING TALKS Leonardo Meoni Director, Archivio di Stato di Prato: “La digitalizzazione dell'archivio Datini” Georg Vogeler, University of Graz: “On the state of the art of editing account books” ROUND TABLE Moderation by Chiara Saccon (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) Introduction to the discussion by Sergio Tognetti (University of Cagliari) Participants: Giovanni Favero (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) John Padgett (University of Chicago) Dorit Raines (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) Alan Sangster (University of Aberdeen) Organizers: Francesco Bettarini, Franz Fischer, Chiara Saccon, Massimo Warglien *** The realization of a complete census of the Florentine accounting sources is the last step of a long research, started almost fifty years ago. The main credits go to Richard Goldthwaite and Marco Spallanzani who have been collecting throughout their research careers a huge amount of data from public and private archives. Thanks to a grant funded by Ca’Foscari University of Venice, the original dataset has been revised and extended by Francesco Bettarini and recently converted into an actual database by Daniele Fusi. It now records more than 3000 items, with detailed information concerning the acts, datation, families involved, type of economic activities, archival location and more. The census will be published online to make it accessible to a large community of scholars in the social and economic history of Renaissance Florence and beyond. It will serve as a hub of materials and data on accounting documents by linking them to an ever growing landscape of online resources, e.g. collections of digital facsimiles and editions, as they will become available over time. -- Franz Fischer Direttore, Venice Centre for Digital & Public Humanities (VeDPH) Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici Università Ca' Foscari Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà Dorsoduro 3484/D - 30123 Venezia Tel.: +39 041 234 6266 (ufficio), +39 041 234 9863 (segreteria del centro) https://www.unive.it/vedph https://www.i-d-e.de/ https://journal.digitalmedievalist.org/

CFP Schoenberg Symposium: Video Lightning Talks on digital manuscript projects
by Dot Porter 20 Oct '20

20 Oct '20

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Call for proposals for Video Lightning Talks to be posted to the SIMS YouTube Channel as part of the 13th Annual (Virtual) Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age, November 18-20, 2020 In the early spring of 2020, as the world shut down, scholarship and teaching were thrown into a virtual, online world. In the hands-on world of manuscripts studies, students, teachers, researchers, librarians, and curators lost physical access to the very objects upon which their work centered. But we were ready. Thanks to world-wide digitization efforts over the past twenty years, scholars at all levels and around the world have, by all counts, virtual access to more manuscripts and manuscript-related metadata than even a generation ago and are benefited by a broad array of digital tools, technologies, and resources that allow them to locate, gather, analyze, and interrogate digitized manuscripts and related metadata. This is the topic that the 2020 Schoenberg Symposium will be focused on. Along with the Symposium, we are issuing invitations for Lightning Talk videos to be posted as a series to the SIMS YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/SchoenbergInstitute/) Videos must be five minutes long or shorter, and may present any project relating to manuscript studies in the digital age. Submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/6zJqNUgFgwbCxsyq5 Deadline for submitting applications is October 28 Applicants will be notified by November 4 Lightning Talk videos must be five minutes or shorter. Longer videos will be shortened before being posted online. Videos must be submitted to SIMS by November 11 The symposium is Free and is open to the public! For more about the symposium, including registration, visit the website here: https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/ljs-symposium13 Thanks and we look forward to reading your proposals!
