Manuscript Workshop at the University of Tennessee
by Daniel O'Donnell 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

(with apologies for cross-posting) The Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville will host a two-day workshop on manuscript studies on February 9 and 10, 2007. The workshop's co- directors are Thomas E. Burman (History), Maura K. Lafferty (Classics), and Roy Liuzza (English). Last year’s workshop discussed the practices of textual editing; this year’s topic is “Everything but the Text,” by which we mean the many different sorts of things that appear above, around, into, beside or between texts in manuscripts: glosses, marginalia, punctuation, running headings, chapter divisions, interpolations, additions, accompanying works, illustrations, doodles, pen trials, bits of stray poetry or prose, pointing fingers, etc. Such material can be easy to overlook, difficult to represent and baffling to explain, but it can also tell us a great deal about how manuscripts, and the texts in them, were read, used, and understood. The theme is meant to be understood as broadly as possible; we would especially welcome participation by scholars working on the relation between text and image, the compilation of anthologies and miscellanies, epigraphy and inscribed objects, page design and meaning, systems for indexing, organizing, or linking commentary to text, and so on. The workshop is open to scholars and students at any rank and from any discipline. Individual ninety-minute sessions will be devoted to each participant’s project; participants will introduce their material and its contexts, discuss their approaches to working with this material, and exchange ideas and information about how to represent and interpret this important evidence. Like last year, the workshop is intended to be more like a class than a conference; participants will be invited to discuss both their successes and frustrations, and to work together towards developing a repertoire of professional skills for textual studies. We particularly encourage works in progress, the presentation of unusual manuscript problems or practical difficulties, new technologies and experimental models for studying or representing manuscripts. Presenters will receive a stipend of $500 for their participation. The deadline for proposals is November 15, 2006; please submit a current CV and a two-page letter describing your project to: Professor Roy M. Liuzza Department of English University of Tennessee 301 McClung Tower Knoxville, TN 37996-0430 or via email to rliuzza(a)utk.edu. The workshop is also open to scholars and students who do not wish to present their work but may be interested in learning more about manuscript research in an informal and collegial environment. Non- presenters will not receive a stipend, but are encouraged to participate in discussions and all other activities. Those wishing to attend should contact Professor Liuzza at the above address for more information, or visit the workshop homepage at http://web.utk.edu/ ~rliuzza/workshop/index.html for more information, including a registration form. Thank you, Roy Liuzza

3D scanning recommendations
by Daniel O'Donnell 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hi all, We are putting together a grant and need to find a contractor who can do very high quality 3D scanning of a smallish object in Belgium. Does anybody have any recommendations? The object is metal and wood and caused us glare problems when we tried photographing it, though I don't think that should be a problem with modelling. I suppose we are looking for a recommendation for a good company or institute with experience in this kind of thing in the Benelux, northern France or Germany. I'd appreciate any recommendations. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Associate Professor and Chair of English Director, Digital Medievalist Project <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/> University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada Vox +1 403 329-2377 Fax +1 403 382-7191 :@caedmon/ubuntu

Fwd: EDUCE site (preliminary)
by Dot Porter 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

This message is being forwarded from the Digital Classicist listserv, but I think it is just as pertinant for this list (though the objects initially being worked with are "classical" the technology will be no less relevant for newer artifacts). The EDUCE project is a collaborative effort between computer scientists at University of Kentucky and Iowa State and classicists at the University of Kentucky. Dot ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ross Scaife <scaife(a)gmail.com> Date: Sep 11, 2006 10:54 AM Subject: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] EDUCE site (preliminary) To: DIGITALCLASSICIST(a)jiscmail.ac.uk We've gathered some information pertinent to the recently announced U.S. National Science Foundation award to EDUCE (Enhanced Digital Unwrapping for Conservation and Exploration) here http://www.stoa.org/educe/ As data and results emerge from the project, our current plans are to make them available at this site (or to link to their whereabouts elsewhere as the case may be). Ross PS: we've already made preliminary plans to work with certain relevant artifacts, of course, but further suggestions for objects of inquiry from any Digital Classics subscribers would always be welcome, and gratefully received. -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-9549 ##### Editorial Assistant, REVEAL Project Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments porter(a)vis.uky.edu ***************************************
