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.

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear digital medievalists, The Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities is happy to share the definite programme of the international conference "Dungeon. Iconography of an Archetype From the Antiquity to the Digital Age" to be held September 24-25, 2024, ONLINE and partly in presence at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà, Sala Geymonat/VeDPH Lab, Dorsoduro 3484/d. Here is the full programme: Dungeon PDF download<https://apps.unive.it/server/eventi/90970/A3_Berti_24.25.09.24_programma%20…> Further information below and at the following link: https://www.unive.it/data/33113/2/90970 *** The dungeon, growing out of gaming and popular culture, has become in recent decades an ideal framework for examining the relationship between imagined space and worldbuilding. From experimental maps to the digital sphere, the dungeon has deeply influenced not only tabletop and role-playing games but also traditional artistic practices, evolving into a metaphor for participatory installations and exhibition spaces. The international conference “Dungeon: The Iconography of an Archetype from Antiquity to the Digital Age” seeks to offer a fresh multidisciplinary perspective on the subterranean and labyrinthine space as an iconographic topos, tracing its development from ancient times to the intricate multilayered architectures of contemporary digital culture. The conference is organized by VeDPH – Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities. Department of Humanities Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. In collaboration with the Department of History, Philosophical and Art History Studies, Tor Vergata University of Rome; 3ARC – Ancient Art Architecture; Università eCampus; Department of Linguistic, Literary, and Aesthetic Studies, University of Bergen. The keynote speakers will be Carmelo Occhipinti (Full Professor of Museology and Artistic Critics of Restoration at Tor Vergata University of Rome), Mark Algee-Hewitt (Associate Professor of 19th Century English Literature and Digital Humanities at Stanford University), and Espen Aarseth (Chair Professor of Game Studies and Dean of the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong). They will be joined by scholars from Italian and international institutions who will offer reflections on the theme of the "dungeon" as a symbolic space, drawing from the fields of art history, literature, media studies, archaeology, and architecture. Organized by Paolo Berti, Claudio Castelletti, and Stefania De Vincentis. The conference is held in Italian and English. You can attend the conference remotely by using the following: https://unive.zoom.us/j/82109102083?pwd=YbUqMOVE6p6OY3t6bRXxdaqzVA6jJu.1 -- Franz Fischer Direttore, Venice Centre for Digital & Public Humanities (VeDPH) Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici Università Ca' Foscari Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà Dorsoduro 3484/D - 30123 Venezia Tel.: +39 041 234 6266 (ufficio), +39 041 234 9863 (segreteria del centro) https://www.unive.it/vedph https://www.i-d-e.de/ https://journal.digitalmedievalist.org/

A Question for the Community
by Harriet Sonne de Torrens 09 May '24

09 May '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, I have a question, which the collective expertise of this community might have an answer for. It is a fairly complex question for me - but for the community, perhaps an easy answer? Is there a way to calculate or use a formula to determine the time involved in integrating RDF with SQL relational databases. We have a 5-table linked structure. The main table with the records for baptismal fonts has currently more than 25,000+ records on this table; the other tables with iconography, bibliography, image files, have additional records (120,000+ images, 3404 bibliographic references, and more than 8,000 iconographic references). How do I go about calculating the time and cost for the integration? Any thoughts on this? The next step is to link the data with other research projects. Thank you for considering this question. I value your expertise!

CFP Connecting Late Antiquities conference
by Gabriel Bodard 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '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. On behalf of Professors Julia Hillner (BCDSS) and Richard Flower (University of Exeter), we cordially invite colleagues to submit paper proposals for our conference on Connecting Late Antiquities, to be held at the University of Bonn, 3-5 February 2025. We have a limited number of slots for papers of up to 20 minutes in length and therefore invite colleagues to submit abstracts of max. 300 words (plus a brief bio) on any aspect of Late Antique prosopography. Connecting Late Antiquities<https://www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/en/research/connecting-late-antiquities>, generously sponsored by Germany’s Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, is a collaborative project to create open, digital prosopographical resources for the Roman and post-Imperial territories between the third and seventh centuries. Its main aim is to digitise, unite, and link existing resources to make them more accessible and enhance their reach and utility. The enterprise will dramatically improve access to information about late-antique people for all scholars of this period and allow the easy integration of prosopographical material with online geographical, textual, epigraphic, and papyrological resources. Technological developments have provided new opportunities for prosopography, including allowing for both constant updating and an expansion beyond the traditional focus on the higher echelons of society. The Prosopography of the Byzantine Empire and Prosopography of the Byzantine World projects provide excellent examples of the greater possibilities allowed by this approach. Connecting Late Antiquities will draw together material from a variety of major printed prosopographies and specialist digital databases, as well as incorporating entries for 'non-elite' individuals who are attested in ancient sources but have not been included in earlier publications. This approach will allow more extensive research into understudied figures and their social connections. We have a limited number of slots for papers of up to 20 minutes in length and therefore invite colleagues to submit abstracts of max. 300 words (plus a brief bio) on any aspect of Late Antique prosopography. We particularly welcome submissions suggesting new discoveries and approaches within the following themes: * Prosopography and the rise of literature in Late Antique local languages, both western (e.g. Irish, Pictish, Welsh) and eastern (e.g. Armenian, Coptic, Syriac). * Prosopography and the ‘usual suspects’ (aristocracies, rulers, office-holders, etc.). * Prosopography and the ‘unusual suspects’ (e.g. anonymous individuals, marginalised individuals, religious minorities, non-privileged groups). * Prosopography and gender. * Prosopography and the challenges, limits, and opportunities of digital humanities. * Methodological avenues to overcome traditional prosopographical segregations (e.g. clerical/secular, elite/lower-status, human/non-human). Confirmed roundtable participants and speakers include Yanne Broux, Niels Gaul, Rodrigo Laham Cohen, Hartmut Leppin, Ralph Mathisen, Muriel Moser, Silvia Orlandi, Arietta Papaconstantinou, Claire Sotinel, Scott Vanderbilt, and Lieve Van Hoof. We are hoping to cover three nights of accommodation in Bonn, travel expenses, plus all lunches and one conference dinner. Please send your abstract plus bio to Jeroen Wijnendaele (jwijnend(a)uni-bonn.de<mailto:jwijnend@uni-bonn.de>) and Jessica van ’t Westeinde (jwestend(a)uni-bonn.de<mailto:jwestend@uni-bonn.de>) no later than the 1st of May 2024.
