GIDOC: Gimp-based Interactive transcription of old text DOCuments
by Marjorie Burghart 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Dear list, I have recently discovered this tool, by a Spanish team, named GIDOC or "Gimp-based Interactive transcription of old text DOCuments": it is defined as a "computer-assisted transcription prototype for handwritten text in old documents", and is, interestingly, built as a GIMP plugin. It can be downloaded here, together with some demonstration material, a demo video etc: http://prhlt.iti.es/projects/multimodal/idoc/content.php?page=gidoc.php Much remains to be done in terms of OCR and automatic / assisted transcription of ancient documents, and this tool certainly isn't the definitive solution to all our problems, but I find the approach interesting (open source, plugged in another tool like GIMP, etc.) Any thoughts / experiences? Best, Marjorie -- Marjorie BURGHART EHESS (pôle de Lyon) / UMR 5648 Histoire et Archéologie des Mondes Chrétiens et Musulmans Médiévaux 18 quai Claude Bernard 69007 Lyon - FRANCE

St Gall Priscian Glosses
by Pádraic Moran 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Dear all, I'd like to announce the launch of a new digital resource: ST GALL PRISCIAN GLOSSES Rijcklof Hofman (transcription), Pádraic Moran (digital edition) http://www.stgallpriscian.ie/ St Gall MS 904 is a copy of Priscian's monumental Institutiones Grammaticae (Foundations of Grammar) written in 851. It contains c. 9,400 marginal and interlinear glosses. About one-third of the glosses are in Old Irish (the remainder in Latin), making the manuscript an important resource for Celticists. It is also a valuable witness for language teaching and scribal culture in the ninth century. Rijcklof Hofman published about half of the glosses in print in 1996, but now the full text of all of the glosses is available for the first time, online. The digital edition also incorporates the underlying text of Priscian (thanks to http://kaali.linguist.jussieu.fr/CGL/), links to manuscript images (via http://www.e-codices.ch), and other resources. Comments, criticisms, suggestions especially welcome! Lege feliciter, Pádraic -- Dr Pádraic Moran Classics (School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures) National University of Ireland, Galway http://www.nuigalway.ie/classics/moran/ http://www.stgallpriscian.ie/ http://www.asnc.cam.ac.uk/irishglossaries/

Mentoring for digital medievalists
by Dot Porter 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hello everyone, The recent announcement that the MAA will be organizing mentoring at the IMC in Leeds next month[1] got me thinking a bit about mentoring generally, and potential DM mentoring specifically. The Association for Computers in the Humanities (ACH) has sponsored a mentoring program at the Digital Humanities series of conferences (formerly the ACH/ALLC joint conference) for several years now and it's always been successful. In addition to one-on-one mentoring (organizers get volunteers on both sides and pair them up based on shared interest) there is also a networking event, specifically for mentors and mentees but open to anyone who is interested. I've participated in this program a few times as a mentor and it's a great experience. So what about starting a DM mentor program? Are there younger scholars and students who feel they might benefit from a one-on-one relationship with someone who has been doing digital work in medieval studies for a while? How about more experienced scholars willing to donate their time to mentoring? Because there is not really one "Digital Medieval" event that everyone attends, I would rather not attach a mentoring program to a specific event. Instead a program would rely on the initiative of individuals. I would be very happy to coordinate mentor/mentee matching, but following an initial introduction it would be up to the pairs to correspond as they are most comfortable (email, phone, Skype, in-person meetings if they are fortunate enough to be geographically close). I'll start by gauging interest. Please write back to the list, or to me directly if you are shy (dot.porter(a)gmail.com). If there is one willing mentor and one person needing a mentor I'll match you up, but given the range of interests in the community it would be better to have a larger pool to match from. Thanks. I think this could be a really fun and valuable initiative. Dot [1] In case you missed the announcement, there is still an opportunity to sign up (until June 25). It looks like the mentors and mentees are both graduate students: http://medievalacademygsc.org/gradstudents/form.html -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dot Porter (MA, MSLS) Digital Medievalist, Digital Librarian Email: dot.porter(a)gmail.com *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Organizing DM sessions for Leeds 2011
by Dot Porter 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Dear DM community, The call for proposals for the International Medieval Congress at Leeds is now online (and has been online for a while): http://www.leeds.ac.uk/ims/imc/imc2011_call.html Session proposals are due on September 30. The DM board typically organizes conference sessions, but before we do so this year we wanted to ask you all if there is anyone amongst you (perhaps one or more someones) who would like to be involved. If you have an idea for a session, or would like to organize one, if you have an idea and would like to co-opt the DM name, please respond to the list (or if you're shy, you can write me privately: dot.porter(a)gmail.com). The theme of next year's conference will be "Poor...Rich." From the description on the website: "As the global economy attempts to recover from the recent staggering economic downturn, and scholars and journalists describe the enormously uneven concentrations of wealth that took place in the decade preceding that downturn, it seems only natural to turn our scholarly gaze to issues of wealth and poverty in the Middle Ages." I'm not sure how the theme could be applied to a digital session (suggestions?), but in any case non-thematic session proposals are always welcome. Thanks, Dot -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dot Porter (MA, MSLS) Digital Medievalist, Digital Librarian Email: dot.porter(a)gmail.com *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Stemmatics data: for testing phylogenetic analysis on actual manuscript traditions
by Peter Robinson 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

As part of the Studia Stemmatalogica project (led by Tuomas Heikkilä, Teemu Roos and Petri Myllymäk of the University of Helsinki), I have prepared a page giving access to five full sets of data prepared for phylogenetic analysis: four for sections of the Canterbury Tales, one for the Old Norse Solarljod. These datasets have been produced with exceptional care, to give the most accurate and complete portrayal of the variation in each tradition. For each dataset, we also present an expert scholarly analysis. Our hope, in releasing this data, is to encourage researchers interested in the possibilities and challenges of the application of phylogenetic methods to stemmatics to experiment with different methods of analysis on 'real' datasets. We would be glad to hear of any and all uses made of this data. The data is at http://www.textualscholarship.org/newstemmatics/data/index.html.
