Clotho: Network Analysis and Distant Reading on the Perseus Latin Corpus
How do we handle Latin texts with digital tools? How do we apply to
Latin sources technologies and algorithms which have been developed for
the linguistic study of modern languages? Clotho is a resource which
aims to address these questions in an Open-Source format, providing
network analysis, data extraction mechanisms, and document statistics.
Using these tools, Lasciva Roma, a project of cultural network analysis
around the lexical field of terms related to sexuality, was launched in
2014. This seminar will explore and review this project, focusing on how
the community can use these tools, and how to ensure the tools and the
data will not be lost.
ALL WELCOME
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

CFP - TEXTUAL AND MANUSCRIPT STUDIES IN ONLINE ENVIRONMENTS
50th International Congress on Medieval Studies
Western Michigan University; May 14-17, 2015
Sponsored by _Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures_
Organized by Albert Lloret (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and
Jeanette Patterson (University of Virginia)
Digital environments enable our studying and representing texts and
manuscripts in radically enhanced ways. As a result, not only have
traditional practices been perfected, also new concepts and forms-such as
those of a "digital edition," a "digital library," and a "digital
archive"-are now giving stimulus to new theories and critical approaches. In
this session, we seek to promote discussion around how digital environments
are changing our examination and representation of texts and the codices
that contain them. We invite submissions that reflect on the achievements,
challenges, and prospects of manuscript and textual studies in the digital
medium, including, but not limited to:
* manuscript representation technologies
* theories of digital edition or the making of digital editions
* corpora studies and computational approaches to manuscript studies
* the goals of textual studies in a digital environment
* examples of manuscript and textual studies carried out in online
environments
Please send a 100-word abstract and Participant Information Form to Albert
Lloret at lloret(a)umass.edu by September 15.

Retracing Theban Witness Networks in Demotic Contracts
ALL WELCOME
This paper focuses on the presence of witnesses in Demotic contracts
during the Ptolemaic reign in Egypt. It will investigate the
interpersonal links between the three main actor groups of these
contracts: the scribes, the two contracting parties and the witnesses.
The first actors, i.e. the scribes, have been studied before and we saw
them connected through family ties, revealing the profession of a
contract scribe as a hereditary office associated with the Egyptian
temples. In the second century BC two operational notaries were attested
in Thebes: the notary of Amunrasonther and that of the prophets of
Djeme. But what about the period before that? Can we retrace these
notaries through network analysis or are we confronted with an
organisation entirely different from the one in the following century?
The contracting parties have always received a lot of attention from
papyrologists as well, as they were often the protagonists of important
archives. However, the third group of actors, the witnesses, have more
or less been neglected so far. I will try to provide an answer to the
crucial question of how these witnesses were chosen. Were they connected
to the notarial and scribal offices, or can they be linked to one or
both parties as family and/or acquaintances perhaps? Or were they chosen
randomly, passers-by simply picked from the streets when needed? The
online platform Trismegistos, which includes almost half a million
attestations of individuals in Greek and Egyptian texts between 800 BC
and AD 800, serves as a starting point for this research. Thanks to the
interlock structure of the text and reference databases, a two-mode
people-in-texts network can easily be extracted and converted into
one-mode people-to-people networks of the contracting parties, the
scribes and the witnesses.
Firstly, before we can start interpreting these networks, we need to
make sure that we have correctly identified the various actors appearing
in our network. The visualisation of the data has proven to be a very
useful new step in this process. Where before we were looking at the
actors' fathers and the characteristics of the relevant texts, we now
take the position of an actor in the – albeit preliminary – network into
account as an extra factor to obtain a faster and more advanced
identification.
Secondly, subjecting these networks to social network analysis will
contribute to our understanding of the relationships and interactions
between witnesses, scribes and contracting parties as well as the
functioning of the ancient notaries, not only in Thebes but in the whole
of Ptolemaic Egypt.

=== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ===
== Research Summit on Collation of Ancient and Medieval Texts ==
COST Action IS1005 'Medioevo Europeo'
Münster (Germany), 3 & 4 October 2014
Comparison and collation are part of the primitives of textual
scholarship—as John Unsworth has dubbed the generic and basic tasks of this
field. They are tedious, error prone, and subject to unwitting bias, and
the quest for formalized ways of guiding these tasks is as old, if not
older, than philology itself. The last thirty years have seen the adoption
of several digital approaches to textual collation, from
heuristics-supported Collate to fully algorithmic Juxta. What is the
current state of the art of digital collation? How do we apply it to
manuscript texts? Does CollateX turn collation into a solved problem? What
are the prospects for multilingual collation? It is these kind of questions
that underlie a research summit on collation to be held in Münster on 3 and
4 October 2014.
The COST Action IS1005 'Medioevo Europeo' (http://www.medioevoeuropeo.org/)
has kindly offered funding to organize this focused research summit on
(digital) collation for ancient, medieval manuscript, and early print
texts. This summit is kindly hosted by the Institute für Neutestamentliche
Textforschung (INTF) of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster (
http://egora.uni-muenster.de/intf/index_en.shtml), representing a wealth of
knowledge and experience on the collation of witnesses for the Greek New
Testament.
This summit will allow the participants to inform themselves about the
issues, methods, and tools involved with collating older texts for
scholarly purposes. The summit will feature some of the most prominent
scholars in this area who will offer an overview of scholarly theory
underpinning collation, the history of digital support for this scholarly
task, and the praxis of current collation techniques. The summit will also
offer a intensive hands-on training in digital collation by
researcher/developers that were involved in building CollateX (
http://collatex.net), Juxta (http://www.juxtasoftware.org/), and several
other tools for scholarly editing.
The second day of the summit features a day long clinic for participants
who apply collation in their scholarly research. We offer the possibility
for participants to present both theoretical and practical problems and
solutions for collating old texts. We invite them to show their work,
tools, problems, needs, and results of applied collation in scholarly
editing.
== HOW TO PARTICIPATE ==
This unique research summit is open for participation by all scholars and
developers involved in the application of (digital) collation of older
texts. There are two ways to attend: as a regular attendee or as a
presenter of a collation use case during the clinics on the second day of
the research summit. We highly encourage participants to present their
collation related work during one of the clinics. To do so send a statement
of interest and short description of your proposed contribution to the
clinic (no more than 300 words) to joris.van.zundert(a)huygens.knaw.nl.
Deadline of submission is August 1, 2014.
As we seek to encourage the participation of early-stage researchers (PhD
students or post-doctoral researchers), a limited number of bursaries are
available to cover travel expenses. If you wish to apply for one of these,
please submit an additional statement motivating your application (main
criteria are importance of this workshop for your current research and
absence of other possible funding). Abstracts and applications for
bursaries will be evaluated by the scientific committee. Successful
candidates will be notified of acceptance on August 15, 2014. Participants
will be offered travel reimbursements according to COST rules and
limitations (i.e. reimbursement of flight/travel and a 100 Euro lodging and
sustenance fee per day of up to a maximum of three days).
To register as a regular attendee, please go to:
http://collatex.net/researchsummit . Registration closes on September 15,
2014.
