Dear everybody,
the advisory board of the conference "Digital Diplomatics 2011: Tools
for the Digital Diplomatist" has decided about the programm. You can
find it at
<http://www.cei.lmu.de/digdipl11/organization/program>
It wasn't an easy choice among the almost 80 interesting proposals we
received, but we hope it will appeal to many scholars of diplomatics,
digital humanities and information sciences. If you consider to
participate we invite you to register at
<http://www.cei.lmu.de/digdipl11/organization/registration>
Regards
Georg Vogeler
Members of this list would likely have interesting perspectives to
contribute to this workshop.

http://www.fastmail.fm - Does exactly what it says on the tin
Dear list,
What online bible versions for general references would you suggest?
I am interested in any biblical text freely available online, the can be clearly addressed (preferably on the verse level) and that provides a reliable version of the Septuagint, Hexapla, Greek New Testament, Vulgate, Vetus Latina, Arabic, Syriac and Coptic text,
as well as translations into modern languages such as English, Irish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese etc.
As for the Vulgate, the Septuagint, the Hebrew OT and most of the translations I think I'm happy with http://www.bibleserver.com but this is most likely just the symptom of being ignorant ...
Any hint to lists or overviews of biblical mss (such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Testament_Latin_manuscripts) are most welcome too.
Many thanks in advance for any remark or advice,
Franz
