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

Automatic cursus analysis
by Christian Schwaderer 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Dear all, I'm currently dealing with papal documents of the mid 12th century. Having found out that one option to distinguish genuin documents from forgeries in that period is the correct use of the so-called "cursus", I must, of course, check if in "my" documents the cursus was used correctly or not. But I'm wondering if I should do that manually. Maybe there are better ways. So, are there ready-to-use solutions for detecting the use of the cursus in latin texts? The "cursus" is basically a kind of prose rhythm based on the word stress. A set of rules determines the distribuation of stressed and unstressed syllables within a sentence. Thus, a tool (semi) automatically detecting the stress of latin words would be great thing to start with. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome! Best regards, Christian -- Dr. Christian Schwaderer (Akademischer Mitarbeiter) Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen Philosophische Fakultät Fachbereich Geschichtswissenschaft Seminar für mittelalterliche Geschichte Wilhelmstraße 36 (Hegelbau)· 72074 Tübingen · Germany Zimmer 212 Telefon +49 7071 29-72990· Telefax +49 7071 29-5905 christian.schwaderer(a)uni-tuebingen.de
