Dear all, with apologies for cross-posting,
The SBL program group "Digital Humanities in Biblical Studies and Early Jewish and Christian Studies" would like to advertise a call for papers for its sessions at the International SBL meeting, jointly with the European Association of Biblical Studies, in Vienna from 6-10th July 2014.
We expect papers on:
(1) The creation and structuring of digital data representing the texts and artefacts relevant to Biblical Studies, Early Jewish Studies and Early Christian Studies
(2) The digital analysis of said data (linguistics, stylometrics, stemmatology, network analysis, etc.), the presentation, rendering and visualisation of data and its analysis, and critical analysis of the social and cultural aspects of the digitisation of research and society in relation to the aforementioned texts and artefacts.
For more information and to submit a proposal, please see the following webpage (mind the wrap):
http://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Congresses_CallForPaperDetails.aspx?Meetin…
The unit chairs can also be contacted there, although I too will be happy to respond to any questions. The deadline is 4th February 2014.
Many thanks,
Hugh Houghton

After years of hard work, the Digital Vercelli Book is now online! This
is a beta version though, lacking several features that will be present
in the final edition, scheduled for publication in 2014. At the moment
only two texts, The Dream of the Rood and Homily 23, are available: the
plan is to improve the current user interface and software on the basis
of the suggestions and comments that will be sent to us, publish the
revised software at some point next year and then progressively put
online all the texts after a final cross-revision has been accomplished.
Read the full announcement here: http://vbd.humnet.unipi.it/?p=2047.
Browse the Digital Vercelli Book (beta) at this URL:

Send feedback to the project team here:

Any comment and/or suggestion will be very much appreciated.
