by Octave Julien 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Dear Colleagues, Starting next week, the PIREH’s seminar (Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne) will address issues related to the writing of history on the Web. The first sessions may be of special interest for medievalists (see below). Best regards, Octave Julien ————————————————————— Chers collègues, Le séminaire "Structuration et analyse de données pour historien" du PIREH est cette année consacré à la question des écritures numériques de l'histoire. Les séances aborderont ce qu'impliquent les transformations induites par le numérique sur le métier d'historien : approche des sources, archivage du web, rapport à l'espace public... Le séminaire visera également à poser un regard d'historien sur les contenus produits par ces transformations et s'interrogera sur la façon dont ils peuvent être étudiés comme des objets d'histoire. Le programme des séances et les informations pratiques figurent dans le document en pièce jointe et sur https://www.univ-paris1.fr/index.php?id=532069 .

comparisons of different e-MS readers?
by Sara L. Uckelman 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Yesterday I attended a planning meaning concerning the Durham priory library's manuscript collection, which is planned for digitisation over the next 5-10 years. A question came up about whether there's been any study done on the relative *technical* merits of different platforms/programmes for viewing manuscripts, either online or downloaded locally. (The person was specifically interested in reviews or comparisons done by people with the relevant computational know- how). I confess to not being very familiar with this terrain; I've used Uni-HD's reader online (see, e.g., the Manesse codex: http://digi.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg848/0001?sid=c1e158af8bb04a02441…) and the reader used by, e.g., http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/0000/bsb00001649/images/, but I don't even know what the programmes behind these sites are! The one that was demonstrated to us is Mirador: http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/en/news/interoperable-viewer-prototype-n…, http://iiif.io/, and it was really cool. I'd love to know how it stacks up against the competition. Cheers, -Sara -- Dr. Sara L.

CFP --Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies -- St Louis, June 15-17
by jmcewan3＠yahoo.ca 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Dear list-members, The Center for Digital Humanities at Saint Louis University is looking for speakers for a session that will be held as part of the 2015 Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies (http://smrs.slu.edu/index.html) Session title and description: 'Seeing the past through digital eyes: new approaches to visualizing medieval texts and artifacts' What do we gain when our experience of a medieval text or artifact is through a digital object rather than the original? The answer will depend on what tools were used to create, find, and view the digital object. Today medievalists can access online a wealth of photographs of manuscripts and artifacts, and many repositories even allow researchers to use personal cameras to create their own photographs. The result has been a proliferation of visual material that enhance access, but which also raise new challenges and present novel opportunities for researchers. This session will bring together medievalists who use digital facsimiles and surrogates as part of their research to consider how the tools they use to capture, manipulate, sort and present them impact the character of their scholarship. These tools can help scholars espousing long established methodologies, but they may also enable them to pose new questions and extend the scholarship in previously impractical directions. If you would be interested in participating, please send a proposed paper title and abstract by February 21. Apologies for the very near deadline... best wishes, John McEwan mcewanja(a)slu.edu Dr John McEwan Center for Digital Humanities Pius XII Memorial Library, 324 AB Tower Saint Louis University 3650 Lindell Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63108

I've now written about medieval manuscripts in all of the Lower 48 except for North Dakota, where there appear to be no medieval manuscripts at all. I hope someone out there will let me know if I'm wrong about this! https://manuscriptroadtrip.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/manuscript-road-trip-th… - Lisa -- Lisa Fagin Davis Executive Director Medieval Academy of America 17 Dunster St., Suite 202 Cambridge, Mass. 02138 Phone: 617 491-1622 Fax: 617 492-3303 Email: LFD(a)TheMedievalAcademy.org
