Ruthwell scanning and website
by Daniel O'Donnell 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi all, We'll be in Ruthwell next week photographing and 3D scanning the Ruthwell cross as part of the Visionary Cross project. If you are interested in following what's going on while we are on site, we will be tweeting and posting photos using the hashtag #visionarycross. Blog entries, photos, and tweets will also be available at http://www.visionarycross.org/ This website was put together by some students on the basis of the original funding applications and will be fairly low-level for most of the people on this list. Now that we are beginning to get new data, we'll be updating it with better bibliography, photos, and the like as they become available. The team will be assembling in Ruthwell and setting up on Monday and Tuesday. Scanning and photographic work should be happening Wednesday through Friday. On site will be James Graham (New Media, Lethbridge), Heather Hobma (Lethbridge graduate student), Catherine Karkow (Art History, Leeds) Roberto Rosselli Del Turco (Linguistics, Turin), the CNR scanning team (Marco Callieri and Matteo Dellepiane), and myself. Our fellow team member Wendy Osborn (Computer Science, Lethbridge) will be in Lethbridge. Please feel free to look up the site periodically next week to see the scanning in action! This work is being funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the University of Lethbridge. -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Junicode 0.7.5
by Peter Baker 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

The newest version of the Junicode font adds the Gothic range (U+10330-1034A) in all four faces. The original Gothic added in 0.7.4 has been moved to the bold face. In regular the Gothic now harmonizes with the rest of the face. The two italic faces have skewed versions of the regular and bold. OpenType features in all four faces automatically handle transliteration from Latin to Gothic and Gothic to Latin. If you work with Gothic at all, have a look and tell me what you think. This feature isn't for everyone, but I've really enjoyed adding it. Peter Baker http://junicode.sourceforge.net

Junicode 0.7.4
by Peter Baker 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

The Junicode font version 0.7.4, released today, adds the Gothic range in the regular face, based on the "Junius" Gothic typeface as used in Geo. Hickes, Thesaurus (1704), but with changes for accuracy and improved design. Also two new lookups, ss19 (Latin-to-Gothic transliteration) and ss20 (Gothic to Latin transliteration). Otherwise there are no significant changes from the previous version. Peter Baker http://junicode.sourceforge.net

by Peter Boot 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

(please redistribute widely) On November 22-24, 2012 the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands organizes the 9th conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship. This conference, which will take place in Amsterdam, will be an international academic forum for communication between different approaches to historical and literary source editing. It aims at bringing together academics working in disciplines that have so far worked within independently operating scholarly traditions, promoting innovative, multidisciplinary exchange and dialogue. The Call for Papers is now available. CALL FOR PAPERS The 9th Conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship 2012 Editing Fundamentals: Historical and Literary Paradigms in Source Editing Amsterdam, November 22-24, 2012 Deadline for paper proposal submissions: May 15, 2012 Keynote speakers: Manfred Thaller (University of Cologne) Godfried Croenen (University of Liverpool) Andrew Jewell (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) The 9th conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship will be an international academic forum for communication between different approaches to historical and literary source editing. Edited source texts, documents and databases are essential to literary, political, historical scholarship, as well as to social studies, art history, music, philosophy or theology. The conference aims at bringing together academics working in disciplines that have so far worked within independently operating scholarly traditions, promoting innovative, multidisciplinary exchange and dialogue. The conference will examine the transformation of traditional editorial practice into a digital environment and the creation of innovative opportunities like the use of digital tools and media. Scholars of any discipline related to editing texts and data nowadays have at their disposal almost limitless possibilities to present texts and data to the public. Traditionally reflection and practice show seemingly different approaches to textual scholarship and documentary editing of historical sources. The aim of this conference is to debate these topics and to strive for a common approach towards the challenges of publishing. Key concepts are heuristic, selection, representativeness and presentation to the user. The conference is organized by the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) and the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands (Huygens ING), a Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences institute. For more information about appropriate subjects and practical details, please see http://www.textualscholarship.nl/?p=10313. More information about registration and possibilities of accommodation will be published soon on a conference website.
