Towards a Medieval Latin Digital Library - Round Table in Florence
by Center for Comparative Studies 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Towards a Medieval Latin Digital Library - A “Medioevo europeo” workshop (Working group 3 of the COST Action ) April 28, 2014 SISMEL, Firenze, via Montebello 7 A scholarly research in European medieval studies can be only founded on the knowldege and the consultation of the actual sources, which until the XIII century are for the most part in Latin. In this field of studies many digital archives have been growing in last years, which collect medieval Latin texts and documents, and perform different kinds of search on them. A free cross-consultation of such databases could very much help the development of the studies, by giving a unique or at least a main reference for quotations and queries about words, names of persons and places, and concepts across the times and the countries. A first meeting of the responsibles and the operators of those archives can take stock of the actual situation by expounding the different features of every data-base, and will become an occasion to design a project for making the medieval Latin archives interact and develop. 9, 30-13.30 Presentation of the data-bases 1. Agostino Paravicini Bagliani (SISMEL, COST Action Medioevo Europeo) Foreword 2. Clemens Radl (München) MGH digital 3. Maurizio Lana (Vercelli) DigiLibLT 4. Eva Sediki (Zürich) Corpus Corporum 5.

49th ICMS @Kalamazoo: Penn Paleography Workshop CFPP (Call for Paleographical Problems)
by Alex Devine 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

*49th International Congress on Medieval Studies* May 8-11, 2014 **With apologies for cross-posting** *¶ CFPP: Call For Paleographical Problems!* *¶ **Paleography Workshop with The Penn Paleography Group <http://pennpaleography.wordpress.com/>* Sponsored by SIMS (The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies), University of Pennsylvania *¶ *Thursday 8th May, 10am (Session 22 ~ Schneider 1140) This workshop will provide a space for discussing the methodology and practice of paleography in Manuscript Studies and the value of collaborative reading. Rather than a Paleography 101-style workshop, we are eager both to share our experience and to seize the opportunity to open up a larger conversation about paleography with a particular focus on the use of innovative new digital tools and online resources such as Penn in Hand<http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/medren/index.html>and T-PEN <http://t-pen.org/TPEN/>. Topics to be considered may include: how using digital resources has altered our group’s methods of accessing premodern scripts (from written texts and glosses to handwritten addenda and later annotations in early printed books); the dynamics of practicing paleography as a group; and how we can create possibilities for collaborative, interactive transcription. The workshop will consist of three sections: I. A series of ‘lightning presentations’ by group members on selected premodern manuscripts from Penn’s Special Collections, including manuscripts from our newly-acquired Schoenberg Collection<http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/medren/search.html?fq=collection_facet%3A%…>. II. Discussion of the paleographical challenges presented in these and other manuscripts. III. A general discussion section open to all attendees in which we encourage questions about the what, why, and how of paleographical study. We encourage attendees to bring their own paleographical problems for consideration by all workshop participants. If you have a paleographical challenge that you would like to share in the workshop (preferably accompanied by jpg files of the pertinent folios of your Ms.), it would be helpful for you to contact us in advance, although you are of course very welcome to simply bring your challenges on the day. ** All Are Welcome! No Registration Required ** However if you would like to confirm your interest in participating in this workshop or to contact us with details of your paleographical problems, please e-mail Alexander Devine at aldevine(a)sas.upenn.edu. -- Alexander Devine The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies The Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books & Manuscripts Van Pelt-Dietrich Library 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 aldevine(a)sas.upenn.edu (215) 898-7851 pennpaleography.wordpress.com schoenberginstitute.wordpress.com

09 Apr '14

Dear Digital Medievalists, Many of you on this list have patiently helped members of our team, so I am pleased to let you all know that we have now officially published our historical gazetteer. A press release is below. A special thanks goes to Tom Elliott and Winona Salesky our XML architects and Hugh Cayless who has answered many questions along the way. Thank you to the DM-L community for all of your help, Dave David A. Michelson Assistant Professor of the History of Christianity Vanderbilt University Press Release 04/08/2014 Syriaca.org publishes The Syriac Gazetteer (http://syriaca.org/geo/) Editors: Thomas A. Carlson and David A. Michelson Senior Programmers: Winona Salesky and Thomas Elliott ________________________________ Syriaca.org<http://syriaca.org/> is pleased to announce publication of The Syriac Gazetteer<http://syriaca.org/geo/>(http://syriaca.org/geo/), an online geographical dictionary to document Syriac culture in the Middle East, Asia, and around the globe. The Syriac Gazetteer<http://syriaca.org/geo/> is a born-digital publication employing eXistDB, TEI XML, and Linked Open Data URIs. All publications of Syriaca.org are made available online in a free and open format using the Creative Commons<http://creativecommons.org/>licenses. Project data and code are available in a public Github repository<https://github.com/srophe/>. What is Syriac? Syriac is a language which once flourished on the Mesopotamian plateau. A dialect of Aramaic, Syriac was widely used during much of the first millenium of the common era. Syriac speaking communities could be found in what today would be Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, India, Central Asia, China, and Mongolia. Sources in Syriac hold immense value for increasing our historical understanding of the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Asia. In particular, Syriac sources document key moments in the development and interaction of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and other religions of Late Antiquity. What is The Syriac Gazetteer? The Syriac Gazetteer<http://syriaca.org/geo/> is the first in a suite of reference works to be published as a part of Syriaca.org: The Syriac Reference Portal<http://syriaca.org/>. The gazetteer contains multilingual entries (in English, Syriac, and Arabic) covering over 2400 places relevant to Syriac Studies, from ancient centers of Syriac culture (such as the city of Edessa<http://syriaca.org/place/78>) to modern diaspora communities (such as the monastery of Mor Awgen<http://syriaca.org/place/680> in Switzerland). The Syriac Gazetteer<http://syriaca.org/geo/> is an ever-expanding resource created by and for users based on the principles of Linked Open Data. This publication is intended to serve a broad scholarly audience including students of Middle Eastern studies, classics, medieval history, religious studies, biblical studies, and linguistics as well as Syriac heritage communities and the interested general public. Users are encouraged to begin exploring The Syriac Gazetteer<http://syriaca.org/geo/> through these links: Main page: http://syriaca.org/geo/ About the Gazetteer: http://syriaca.org/geo/about.html Browse the Collection: http://syriaca.org/geo/browse.html Browse via Interactive Map: http://syriaca.org/geo/browse.html?view=map Edessa, the model entry: http://syriaca.org/place/78 Documentation: http://syriaca.org/geo/help/ Related Online Resources Syriaca.org<http://syriaca.org/> is also preparing a number of other publications: * Clavis Syriaca: A two volume reference guide to Syriac authors and their works for use in cataloguing Syriac manuscripts. An initial fasicule has already been published as part of The Virtual International Authority File<http://viaf.org/viaf/search?query=local.names+all+%22ephrem%22+and+local.so…>. * The Syriac Prosopography: A text-based prosopography similar to the The Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England (PASE)<http://www.pase.ac.uk/>. * Gateway to the Syriac Saints: A two volume reference guide to Syriac saints and their vitae. * Digital Catalogue of Syriac Manuscripts in the British Library: A digital catalogue of Syriac manuscripts using the TEI XML standards<http://jtei.revues.org/372> for manuscript cataloguing. * A Union Catalogue of Syriac Manuscripts: A digital catalogue of Syriac manuscripts following the model of the Fihrist<http://www.fihrist.org.uk/> union catalogue. These publications are the result of the collaboration and good will of the many scholars who have helped create them. Technical design of the project was completed by Winona Salesky and Thomas Elliott, Senior Programmers. Funding has come from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Fondazione Internazionale Balzan, and the National Endowment for the Humanities (U.S.A.). The editors of the project welcome inquiries from the media and offers of collaboration from the scholarly community. They may be reached at info(a)syriaca.org<mailto:info@syriaca.org>.
