Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. [Please Forward] === https://research.ncl.ac.uk/atnu/news/atnuvirtualspeakerseries-hannahbusch-2… Our next speaker in the ATNU Virtual Speaker Series is Hannah Busch from the CCeH at the University of Cologne who will talk to us about "Matching Medieval Manuscripts with Machine Learning". Join us on Wednesday 19 February 2025 at 4pm UK time. (We will send the zoom link to all registered attendees shortly before the event.) "Matching Medieval Manuscripts with Machine Learning" Hannah Busch (University of Cologne) Wednesday 19 February 2025 4pm (GMT) (8am PT, 11am ET) Abstract: Large-scale digitization projects of the past twenty years and the possibility of exploitation with the help of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) have substantially contributed to reaching a critical mass which allows the application of deep learning for the study of medieval book scripts. In the past years, not only the number of digitized medieval sources increased significantly, but also the quality of the image data. Parallel to this development, the computation of images is becoming more powerful, and—more importantly—affordable. During my presentation I am going to talk about the possibilities of dating and localizing the origin of medieval Latin manuscripts with the help of Deep Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence. I will be giving insights in how to approach such an undertaking of building an image similarity search based on palaeographical features of medieval Latin scripts. In particular, I’ll be focusing on the reuse of existing scholarly manuscript descriptions for the training of Artificial Neural Networks and the challenges that come with relying on those new technologies. How is the palaeographic information encoded in descriptive metadata? Can manuscript metadata be read and processed by the machine? Can it be used to teach Artificial Neural Networks which manuscript samples are similar by means of Latin palaeography? To conclude my presentation, I’d like to discuss how we can build a bridge between the output of the artificial palaeographic eye and the human readable descriptive metadata. Bio: Hannah Busch studied German-Italian Studies (BA) and Textual Scholarship (MA) in Bonn, Florence, and Berlin. She worked as a research associate at the Trier Center for Digital Humanities, and as a PhD candidate within the project “Digital Forensics for Historical Documents” at the Huygens Instituut (KNAW) in Amsterdam and at Leiden University. In her doctoral thesis, she is working on the application of deep machine learning methods for the dating and localization of medieval Latin manuscripts. Her research interests also lie in various areas of digital medieval studies, in particular the (mass) digitization of medieval written documents and experimentation with computer-aided methods for manuscript research. Since June 2023, Hannah is a research associate at the Cologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH) within the academy project Formation of Europe. === If you missed our previous talks you can see recordings of them at: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/atnu/speakers/

CfP 2025: "Historical Documents and Digital Challenges: Debating the iForal Project" (U.Lisbon and online)
by Ana Filipa Firmino Sequeira Pin Roldão 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the international conference "Historical Documents and Digital Challenges: Debating the iForal Project" which will take place on January 22-24, 2025, at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, in a hybrid format. This event is organized by the iForal project, Portuguese Municipal Charters in the Middle Ages: A Historical and Linguistic Approach in the Digital Era (https://iforal.hypotheses.org/). This international conference aims to present and debate some of the research results of the iForal team project, in dialogue with other national and international multidisciplinary projects, also focused on historical documentation from the medieval period. The use of digital tools and resources that challenge the way of reading, editing and criticising these texts, the scope of comparative analysis and the limits of historical-linguistic interpretation of data will be under analysis. The Call for Papers is now open, with submissions due by October 15th, 2024. For further details, please visit: https://sites.google.com/view/iforal2025/home. Please find attached the event poster. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this Call for Papers with any relevant contacts you deem appropriate. Best regards, Filipa Roldão PI of the iForal project Centre for History of the University of Lisbon School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon ---------------- Call for Papers: The project iForal. Portuguese Municipal Charters in the Middle Ages: an Historical and Linguistic Approach in the Digital Era (*) developed an electronic edition of the first Portuguese royal charters, incorporating their most ancient documentary witnesses produced in Latin and the vernacular until the end of the 15th century. Urban and rural communities received rules from secular or ecclesiastical masters regulating social coexistence, rights and duties, economic activities, and administrative, jurisdictional, or tax practices. These norms, expressed in charters, resulted from the convergence of the interests of both parties. Over the centuries, the norm was successively rewritten, either in charters initially addressed to other lands or in ratifications of its content. Therefore, written words, graphic models, and forms of validation were circulated and adapted to each rewriting of the standard. The survival of these charters and their formal and linguistic variation throughout the medieval period (or even beyond) is the main object of study for the iForal team, which has been developing resources and collaborative work in history, linguistics, and information technologies. The project's central resource is its digital text editing platform, EDICOLAB, which allows collaborative and interdisciplinary work and will be available for other documentary corpora. This international conference aims to present and debate some of the research results of the iForal team, in dialogue with other national and international multidisciplinary projects, also focused on historical documentation from the medieval period. The use of digital tools and resources that challenge the way of reading, editing and criticising these texts, the scope of comparative analysis and the limits of historical-linguistic interpretation of data will be under analysis. We invite researchers, especially young researchers (doctoral students and recent PhDs), to present ongoing work on medieval documentation, from different perspectives (History, Linguistics, Textual Criticism, and Information Technologies). Possible topics (for 20-minute contributions related to medieval charters or other historical documentation) include, but are not limited to: - production, use, and circulation of historical documents - power agents and strategies - documentary heritage - normative traditions in interaction - norm and territoriality - social, political, economic categories - linguistic diversity and variation - emergence of vernacular languages - writing and orality - linguistic and spelling standardisation - genetics and textual transmission - textual studies and scholarly editing - digital tools and resources - digital edition and technological innovation Submissions should be sent by October 15th, using an online form (see website), with name, e-mail address, institutional affiliation and position, title of the proposed paper, and abstract (200 words in Portuguese, Spanish, English or French). Abstracts will be reviewed by the members of the scientific committee. Decisions will be announced by November 15th, 2024. Selected papers shall be published in a post-conference volume.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear DM community, We at the Innovating Knowledge project (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) have just completed the annual update of the project's database of the early medieval manuscripts transmitting the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. This is the third update since the project's official end in August 2021, so we are quite excited that it took place. The current database version (2.3.5) contains detailed information on 507 manuscripts (up from 496). 🔗 database: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/ 📊 data (as an .xslx file): https://zenodo.org/records/13827506 ℹ️ more info on the project and its methodology: https://innovatingknowledge.nl/ This version contains not only previously unknown manuscripts, more detail on known manuscripts, and many corrections to the information in older catalogues, but also images of manuscripts that have so far not been digitized (459 images altogether), links to digitized manuscripts (400+ manuscripts), and integrated IIIF viewer to view manuscripts with IIIF manifests directly via the database interface (336 manuscripts). We hope you will find the database useful and the data reusable. The project is no longer actively funded, so we, unfortunately, can no longer fix the code or make any major technical changes, but if you spot any errors in the data, have information to add that you are willing to share, or know of manuscripts that you think should be included in this survey, let us know.
