Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear digital medievalists, A note about a seminar and talk tomorrow that may interest you. What? Erasmus Seminar with a lecture by Victor Temprano When? Thursday, November 20, 14:00-16:00 CET Where? Erasmus University Rotterdam, Polak 3-20 Teams Link: Erasmus (and AI!) Seminar with Victor Temprano<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NGNkNzA5NjUtZjBmMC00…> Artificial Humanism: Erasmus in the Age of AI What happens when Renaissance humanism meets artificial intelligence? This talk introduces Erasmiana Digital, an experiment that allows users to converse with an AI Erasmus backed by a newly digitized corpus of his works. Using OCR, large language models, and semantic search, the project reimagines how Erasmus’s writings can be explored and understood today. Alongside a demonstration of the site, this talk reflects on the promises and risks of digitization and AI. Erasmus rode the revolution of the printing press to spread knowledge and debate, and today we face a new technological upheaval in artificial intelligence. What do we stand to gain – and lose – if we embrace new media in our pursuit of learning and exchange? Biographical Info Victor Temprano is a software developer, writer, and independent scholar with an MA in Religious Studies from McGill University. He is the founder of Native-Land.ca and the CEO of Mapster Technology. He has been involved in many software projects both commercial and academic spanning public history, data analysis, mapping, and language revitalization. He is honoured to be the 2025 Erasmus Collection Fellow.

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. Dear colleagues, ** Apologies for cross-posting ** We're happy to inform you about the Working Group "Visualizing and Investigating Differences In Texts" (VIDIT), and we are warmly inviting you to join. VIDIT aims to build a global community of scholars, developers, and designers interested in studying and visualizing variation in historical and literary texts. We focus on using visualization to investigate and represent textual variation and make collation software outputs more accessible and informative. Our two main goals are: * Developing a shared vocabulary for describing textual variation; * Creating best-practices guidelines for visualizing it. These objectives are pursued through two dedicated subgroups, coordinated by Elena Spadini and Brett Barney (Shared Vocabulary) and Carlotta Defenu and Christopher Ohge (Best Practices). The first subgroup meetings are planned on the following dates: * Best Practices → 22 October 2025, 2pm GMT / 3pm CEST / 8am CST: <https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83234533130?pwd=0kEYdScObC9x3E2Jm9VHrlTlbMEAIG.1> * Shared Vocabulary → 29 October 2025, 2pm GMT / 3pm CEST / 8am CST: <https://unibe-ch.zoom.us/j/65312703924?pwd=fxBpUhqFlJa2U4uOWfazaNGxQ8kVym.1> Curious to learn more or to get involved? * Visit our website at <https://wg-vidit.github.io/> https://wg-vidit.github.io/ — it's still under construction, but it is growing alongside our community. * For more details about our objectives and subgroups, see the About-page on our website: <https://wg-vidit.github.io/about/> https://wg-vidit.github.io/about/ * For communication, you can join our Discord server (<https://discord.gg/v3qzm52tWD>), where members connect, share resources, and collaborate. Dedicated channels for the Best Practices (<https://discord.gg/UzRE9ZJ583>) and Vocabulary (<https://discord.gg/ugXtRvrqAk>) subgroups make it easy to follow the discussions that interest you most; * Explore our public Zotero library (https://www.zotero.org/groups/5918162/visualisationtextvariation) and feel free to suggest additions. We hope that anyone interested will join the first subgroup meetings and help shape our shared goals. If you’re unable to attend the first subgroup meetings but are keen to stay in the loop, make sure to join our Discord channel(s) and mailing list, and keep an eye out for future emails from us. VIDIT welcomes scholars, students, developers, and designers to collaborate on advancing digital textual scholarship. Our community spans literary studies, book history, software development, and UI/UX design, and each perspective enriches our collective work. Expertise is not required – curiosity and engagement matter most. Best wishes, The VIDIT-coordinators, Beatrice Nava, Carlotta Defenu, Christopher Ohge, and Elli Bleeker

Digital Classicist Wiki Editing Sprint “Viva l’Italia!”, 28 July 2025
by Paolo Monella 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

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. Dear Digital Medievalists, on Monday 28 July 2025 at 15:00 BST = 16:00 CEST/Rome, Paolo Monella and Andrea La Veglia will be leading an open Digital Classicist wiki editing sprint themed "Viva l'Italia!", including an introductory short training session in English on how to edit the wiki itself. What is the Digital Classicist Wiki (wiki.digitalclassicist.org)? It is a collaboratively edited catalogue of projects, tools, methods and other topics in the application of digital humanities to ancient world studies. If you would like to contribute to the maintenance and editing of this platform, please join us for this introductory workshop and tutorial. What will we do in the initial training session? The initial session will introduce the Wiki, its goals and scope, and the simple wiki-syntax with which it is edited (the same MediaWiki platform as Wikipedia and related wikis). It will involve a short tutorial and demonstration of the interface, followed by the opportunity to practice editing on the live Wiki, with one-to-one support from experienced editors. Theme The "Viva l'Italia!" theme is mostly a tribute to the numerosity of the Italian members of the Digital Classicist (DC) community. Paolo and Andrea will be mostly focussing on digital projects from Italy or by Italians abroad, but everyone is welcome to contribute on whatever page and in whatever way. Booking Advance booking is required (https://ics.sas.ac.uk/events/introduction-digital-classicist-wiki-editing). If you do not already have an account on the Digital Classicist Wiki, please contact one of the site administrators *before the day of the session* to request a new account be created for you. Best, Paolo Monella Andrea La Veglia -- *Fai crescere le giovani ricercatrici e i giovani ricercatori*** *con il 5 per mille alla Sapienza* Scrivi il codice fiscale dell'Università *80209930587 **Cinque per mille <https://www.uniroma1.it/it/node/23149>*
