19 May '10

Here is an announcement circulated by Dr. Juan Garces (British Library), that might be of interest to Digital Medievalists :) Best, Marjorie ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// British Library summer internship 2010 (two months) The British Library has started digitising its medieval and earlier manuscript collections as part of its plans to make them all available to everyone online. The first volumes to be digitised are drawn from the Greek manuscript collections. To support this project, the British Library wishes to recruit an undergraduate or postgraduate intern to work on the TEI XML markup of over 600 Classical, Biblical and Byzantine manuscripts in Greek. The existing descriptions are available as MS Word documents and need to be converted into TEI-compliant XML code. Authority-list entries for authors, scribes and titles of works will be generated from the XML code and will need to be edited, looked up in other resources provided, and linked accordingly. The intern will be supervised by Dr Juan Garces who manages the Greek Manuscripts Digitisation Project. Requirements Essential: The right to live and work in the UK (The British Library is unable to apply for a work visa for this internship). Undergraduate or postgraduate. Good knowledge of XML and a basic understanding of the TEI guidelines. Experience of editing XML. Fluent in written and spoken English. Good time-management and organisational skills. Desirable: Experience of Greek/Byzantine Studies and working with manuscripts. Familiarity with the Oxygen XML editor. Able to work using own initiative. Terms Two month internship, ideally starting late June 2010. Pay: £6 per hour, 36 hours per week. How to apply Please email your CV, including the names and contact details of two referees, and a covering letter explaining why you wish to undertake this internship and how your skills and experience match the requirements to claire.breay(a)bl.uk (Claire Breay, Head of Medieval and Earlier Manuscripts, The British Library) by 17:00 on Wednesday 26 May 2010. Please include a copy of the main details page of your passport and any UK work permit. -- Marjorie BURGHART EHESS (pôle de Lyon) / UMR 5648 Histoire et Archéologie des Mondes Chrétiens et Musulmans Médiévaux 18 quai Claude Bernard 69007 Lyon - FRANCE

Abbildungsverzeichnis europäischer Kaiser- und Königsurkunden
by Georg Vogeler 17 May '10

17 May '10

*** sorry for crossposting *** -- english version below -- Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, das von Irmgard Fees und Peter Worm erstellte Abbildungsverzeichnis europäischer Kaiser- und Königsurkunden bis 1200 ist umgezogen und erweitert worden. Die Nachweise zu knapp 5000 Urkunden sind jetzt unter http://www.hgw-online.net/abbildungsverzeichnis/ verfügbar und inhaltlich aktualisiert worden. Zusätzlich zur bisherigen Version verlinkt es auch Digitalisate der Bücher, in denen die Abbildungen zu finden sind, sowie die Einträge im Marburger Lichtbildarchiv älterer Originalurkunden. Für den Export steht eine XML-Version nach den Vorschlägen der Charters Encoding Initiative (http://www.cei.lmu.de) zur Verfügung. Natürlich fehlen noch viele Königreiche und sicherlich ist den Bearbeitern auch noch die eine oder andere Abbildung entgangen. Deshalb freuen sie sich auf Hinweise und Ergänzungen an hgw-online(a)lrz.uni-muenchen.de. Viele Grüße Georg Vogeler == English version == Dear colleagues, the image inventory of the European royal and imperial documents before 1200 compiled by Irmgard Fees and Peter Worm has been updated and relaunched. You can find the new website at http://www.hgw-online.net/abbildungsverzeichnis/ In addition to the bibliographic reference of approximately 5.000 documents the inventory links to online reproductions of books and particularly of the Lichtbildarchiv älterer Originalurkunden at Marburg University. You can export the entries in an XML format according to the standard of the Charters Encoding Initiative (http://www.cei.lmu.de). There is certainly still a lot to do to make the inventory comprehensive thus any hint to hgw-online(a)lrz.uni-muenchen.de is welcome. Sincerely Georg Vogeler

Apologies
by Dot Porter 14 May '10

14 May '10

Dear List, I want to apologize to everyone who attended the DM-sponsored session at Kalamazoo yesterday and found it presider-less. James Cummings told me weeks ago that he would be unable to attend and it was my responsibility to find a new presider, which (obviously) I did not do. I understand there was some confusion yesterday and I hope that things worked out. I'm very, very sorry about this, and I'm especially sorry that it reflects poorly on James, and on the Digital Medievalist, when the fault was entirely with me.

Number 5,169,396th with a bullet
by O'Donnell, Dan 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Lou Burnard posted a nibbler ranking of tei-c.org on tei-l. So I thought I'd run DM. Some issues appeared, but I did like discovering that we are 5,169,396th most popular in the world and that "This website recently saw a significant increase in popularity." -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Chair and CEO, Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org/) Co-Chair, Digital Initiatives Advisory Board, Medieval Academy of America President-elect (English), Society for Digital Humanities/Société pour l'étude des médias interactifs (http://sdh-semi.org/) Founding Director (2003-2009), Digital Medievalist Project (http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/) Vox: +1 403 329-2377 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 (non-confidential) Home Page: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/
