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

Who are we Digital Humanists? And who are we Digital Medievalists? *Humanistica <http://www.humanistica.eu/>, the future European DH Association, launches a survey to find out about the digital humanists’ community.** Answer the online survey <http://bit.ly/HcrQ4D>* The Humanistica project and the DH manifesto By responding to this survey, you will help the Digital Humanities community discover its extent and diversity, as well as its geographical and linguistic composition. We hope you will be willing to participate in this survey and thus improve understanding of our community. This questionnaire, which is an initiative of the Centre for Open Electronic Publishing <http://cleo.cnrs.fr/> (Cleo) and OpenEdition.org<http://www.openedition.org/>, is a contribution to the Humanistica Project: towards a European association for the Digital Humanities, building on the ideas expressed in the Digital Humanities Manifesto, based on a multilingual approach, and democratic principles (one person, one vote). If you agree with the principles of the Digital Humanities, you can sign it ( http://www.humanistica.eu/manifesto). Thank you for your contribution!

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
