[Fwd: English archives' MSS catalogues]
by Daniel O'Donnell 29 Aug '04

An interesting and useful looking site. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: English archives' MSS catalogues Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 00:54:58 -0400 From: Juris G. Lidaka <lidaka(a)OSCAR.WVSTATEU.EDU> Reply-To: Medieval Texts - Philology Codicology and Technology <MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu> To: MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu In search of information about a manuscript held by the Society of Antiquaries of London, and having oddly not found a catalogue for it in a Big 10 research library yesterday, though I clearly recall having seen one somewhere, or at least having seen a reference to it, I googled and found this wonderful site: http://www.a2a.org.uk/ "Access to Archives" billing itself as "The English strand of the UK archives network." A catalogue entry--based on Ker's MMBL but going somewhat beyond it--was there, much to my joy. I share the information of this site with you. Though I prefer a catalogue in my lap, because I value browsing, this served the immediate need. Still, to quote our founder, we are getting there. -- Juris Juris G.

I forgot to say that we want to make sure we leave space for comment on any form we make. I really thought Murray's comments on its strengths and weaknesses, and particularly areas for improvement were exactly the type of thing we want to get from referees. And just to make sure we're all clear: though we may continue with this idea of identifying *accepting* referees, these will only be the people who agree, and who have actually recommended final publication; all intermediate and negative comments will be anonymous unless the referee insists otherwise. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge Alberta T1K 3M4 Canada Tel: +1 (403) 329-2377 Fax: +1 (403) 382-7191 e-mail: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca Web-Page: http://home.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell The Electronic Caedmon's Hymn: http://home.uleth.ca/~caedmon

[Fwd: Voynich MS article in Wired (TAN?)]

Apologies for cross posting. -dan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Voynich MS article in Wired (TAN?) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 10:07:02 -0400 From: Amy West <medievalist(a)W-STS.COM> Reply-To: Medieval Texts - Philology Codicology and Technology <MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu> To: MEDTEXTL(a)listserv.uiuc.edu Sorry if this has already been mentioned, or if it's a bit too far afield: In the September 2004 issue of Wired there's an article (pp. 112, 114, 116, 121) on Gordon Rugg's de-bunking of the Voynich MS. The Wired article focuses on his methodology, not the MS, but it mentions his article on the MS in the journal _Cryptologia_ published earlier this year. I think medieval studies folks will be interested in the Wired article discussion of his method -- "the verifier approach" -- used for problem solving and examining "expertise gaps" as well as the article on the MS. ---Amy West -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Department of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge Alberta T1K 3M4 Canada Tel: +1 (403) 329-2377 Fax: +1 (403) 382-7191 e-mail: daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca Web-Page: http://home.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell The Electronic Caedmon's Hymn: http://home.uleth.ca/~caedmon

This was software originally developed to encode aerial satellite imaging, and was constructed by Dr Paul Robertson, formerly of the Robots Group, Dept of Engineering, Uni of Oxford, now at CSAIL, MIT.

early music notation
by Dorothy C. Porter 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Hi list, This is a message I sent as a reply to James Cummings on TEI-L, but I think it may be of interest to folks on this list as well (some of whom, I expect, will know more than me - I haven't studied medieval music since college). His original query concerned including the Medieval Encoding Initiative (MEI, http://dl.lib.virginia.edu/bin/dtd/mei/) as a module in the TEI. ******************** James (and list), There are at least two other prospective XML schemas for encoding music - Music Markup Language (http://www.musicmarkup.info/) and MusicXML (http://www.musicxml.org/xml.html). I can't speak to the technical pros and cons of including music markup as a part of TEI. I do think that it is something to consider, especially for, as you say, liturgical manuscripts (or other early manuscripts that include musical notation). Having looked briefly at all three of these markup schemas, though, it appears that all are designed specifically for modern Western musical notation - notes of determined length on a standard staff. This would be fine for encoding something like a 18th century hymnal, but less useful for 13th or 14th century notation (which might be on a staff, but rhythm is not always clear), and not useful at all for the earliest notation (basically squiggles written over the lyrics). It would be great to be able to describe these sorts of early notation beyond simply noting that they're there, but it doesn't appear that these schemas are designed with early notation in mind (at least not publically, yet). Does anyone on the list know more? Is anyone interested in pursuing some sort of notation extension/module to TEI?
