Sorting upper and lower case letters
by Dan Mosser 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

The Digital Index of Middle English Verse (iMEV: http://www.cddc.vt.edu/host/imev/Index.html) is now complete insofar as entering all the IMEV records, those of its Supplement, many new records, and most of the data collected for first-two and last-two lines of all witnesses except those in London archives. Now for some fine tuning... Since upper and lower case letters are recognized as distinct by a computer, I'm wondering if anyone on the list knows of a way to effect a sort that won't treat them as different. Thanks! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan Mosser <dmosser(a)vt.edu> Office: Shanks 229 Snailmail: Department of English Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA 24061-0112 VOICE: (540) 231-7753 FAX: (540) 231-5692 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Digital Philology - Call for Submissions
by Albert Lloret 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

_Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures_ CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS _Digital Philology_ is a new peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of medieval vernacular texts and cultures. Founded by Stephen G. Nichols and Nadia R. Altschul, the journal aims to foster scholarship that crosses disciplines upsetting traditional fields of study, national boundaries, and periodizations. _Digital Philology_ also encourages both applied and theoretical research that engages with the digital humanities and shows why and how digital resources require new questions, new approaches, and yield radical results. _Digital Philology_ will have two issues per year, published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. One of the issues will be open to all submissions, while the other one will be guest-edited and revolve around a thematic axis. Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 3rd edition (2008) of the MLA style manual, and be between 5,000 and 9,000 words in length, including footnotes and list of works cited. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation. _Digital Philology_ welcomes submissions for the 2012 and 2013 open issues. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to dph(a)jhu.edu, addressed to the Editor (Albert Lloret) and Managing Editor (Jeanette Patterson). _Digital Philology_ will also publish reviews of books and digital projects. Correspondence regarding digital projects and publications for review may be addressed to Timothy Stinson at tlstinson(a)gmail.com.
