documenting our own history in DH/DM
by Sara L. Uckelman 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Dear all, The Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources has just put up a new post on our blog that reflects on the practices of digital humanities/digital medievalism, specifically with respect to the importance of explicitly documenting who did what in the context of a given project. It was sparked by one of the talks at the "Middle Ages in the Modern World" conference in Lincoln last week, as well as by my own practices implemented in the running of the DMNES. I'd be interested in any feedback or counterpoints any of you might have: https://dmnes.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/digital-humanities-medievalism-and-t… Cheers, -Sara -- Dr. Sara L. Uckelman Department of Philosophy Durham University https://www.dur.ac.uk/philosophy/staff/?id=12928 The Dicitionary of Medieval Names from European Sources http://dmnes.org/

In 2010 she completed her PhD on the organisation of the comital chancery in the counties of Flanders and Hainaut (1191-1244). For her research she elaborated a new computer-aided methodology to determine the editorial origin of charter texts. In 2012 she received a COST Action grant for a short term scientific mission (one month) at the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (IRHT) in Paris, where she examined the interoperability between the Belgian and French Latin source databases Diplomata Belgica and TELMA-databases (Traitement Électronique des Manuscrits et des Archives).

His edition of Samuel Presbiter’s Collecta ex diuersis auditis in scola magistri Willelmi de Monte (Notes from the School of William de Montibus) will be published by PIMS in 2015 through the Toronto Medieval Latin Texts series. ***************************** GRETA FRANZINI Greta Franzini is a Classicist by training. She is currently pursuing a PhD at the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/dh), University of London. There, she conducts interdisciplinary research in Latin philology, codicology, literary criticism and text visualisation. Greta's specific interests lie within (ancient) languages, codicology and digital editions. Part of her doctoral studies has resulted in the creation of a Catalogue of Digital Editions ( https://sites.google.com/site/digitaleds/home) and the final output of her PhD will consist of a digital documentary edition of an early Latin manuscript (https://sites.google.com/site/gretafranzini/home). In order to fund her doctoral studies, Greta works as a fulltime early career researcher (http://etrap.gcdh.de) at the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH) (http://www.gcdh.de/en/), University of Göttingen. There, she's involved in research pertaining to historical text reuse and jointly coordinates the Göttingen Dialog in Digital Humanities ( http://www.gcdh.de/en/events/gottingendialogdigitalhumanities/), a seminar series inspired by the Digital Classicist but with a broader scope. Prior to Göttingen, Greta worked on the Open Greek and Latin Project ( http://www.dh.uni-leipzig.de/wo/projects/opengreekandlatinproject/) at the University of Leipzig, where she coordinated three major digitisation projects (imaging, OCR and TEI XML encoding) aimed at producing open digital versions of a large number of Ancient Greek and Latin printed editions. ***************************** GREGORY HEYWORTH After taking a BA in English from Cambridge and a Ph.D. from Princeton in Comparative Literature, Gregory Heyworth began his career at the University of Mississippi as a medievalist with a specialty in textual studies and classical influence. His first book, Desiring Bodies: Ovidian Romance and the Cult of Form (Notre Dame, 2009), won the 2010 Choice Oustanding Academic Title award. His interest in textual science and digital humanities began with his edition of the badly damaged Old French poem Les Eschez d'Amours (Brill, 2013) which he recovered using a transportable multispectral imaging system he developed with a grant from the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training. In 2010, Heyworth founded and now directs the Lazarus Project, a non-profit initiative to recover damaged cultural heritage objects using various imaging technologies. Since its inception, the Lazarus Project has digitally restored scores of damaged works and objects in libraries and collections around the world, including the Vercelli Book and the Martellus Map; it has supported the research of numerous scholars by offering its technology and expertise, and has launched major multispectral digitization projects in Chartres, Tblisi, and Vercelli. Behind the Lazarus Project is a curriculum in textual science that Heyworth developed to train students in a combination of the history of the book, codicology, and spectral imaging, imaging science, and digital display. He is currently working on an edition of the oldest translation of the Gospels into Latin, a book entitled Textual Science and the Future of the Past Roger Easton, and a promising neural net approach to manuscript OCR with his student Eleanor Anthony. ***************************** NICOLAS PERREAUX Doctor in Medieval History, currently postdoctoral researcher at Paris XII (ANR Pocram), I have been interested since childhood in technology and programming. After graduating in Science, I headed for the Humanities and Social Sciences. My Master, directed by Eliana Magnani, led me to apply the methods of data mining to diplomatics corpora. Through a doctoral contract, I realized a thesis (directed by Daniel Russo and Eliana Magnani, supported in 2014), based on the manipulation of several major archaeological and textual corpora. This research allowed me to acquire skills in data / text mining, digital humanities, exploratory statistics, geographic information systems, programming (Perl) and historical semantics. During the period 2009-2015, I have worked with several collaborative research projects, including four ANR, all of them about Digital History. Since February 2015, I am postdoc at Paris XII. ***************************** DOMINIQUE STUTZMANN After degrees in Classics, History and German studies at the Sorbonne, Dominique Stutzmann studied at the École nationale des Chartes <http://www.enc.sorbonne.fr/> (2002), received a MLIS and worked at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin and the Bibliothèque nationale de France <http://www.bnf.fr/>. He completed a PhD on scribal practices of Cistercian communities in medieval Burgundy (statistical analysis of scribal profiles based on TEI encoding). In 2007-2012 and 2015 onwards, he is lecturer for medieval paleography and digital scholarly edition at the École Pratique des Hautes Études <http://www.ephe.sorbonne.fr/> and, since 2010, senior researcher at the Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes <http://www.irht.cnrs.fr/> (CNRS). He currently leads as Principal Investigator several research projects in the field of digital humanities ( FAMA <http://fama.irht.cnrs.fr/> on Latin bestsellers, ANR Oriflamms <http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr/en/anr-funded-project/?tx_lwmsuivi…>, ECMEN <https://oriflamms.hypotheses.org/1365> on computer automated image analysis applied to palaeography, Saint-Bertin <http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/fr/saint-bertin-centre-culturel-viie-xvi…> for virtually reconstructing of a former library) and organizes conferences, sessions, summer school (Leeds, Dagstuhl <http://drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/frontdoor.php?source_opus=4793>, Saint-Omer <http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/en/news/summer-course-saint-omer-reconst…>). I am on the Board since 2011 and love the work we are doing for the journal and the community. It is a great community and I am proud to work for it!
