Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Call for proposals for Video Lightning Talks to be posted to the SIMS YouTube Channel as part of the 13th Annual (Virtual) Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age, November 18-20, 2020 In the early spring of 2020, as the world shut down, scholarship and teaching were thrown into a virtual, online world. In the hands-on world of manuscripts studies, students, teachers, researchers, librarians, and curators lost physical access to the very objects upon which their work centered. But we were ready. Thanks to world-wide digitization efforts over the past twenty years, scholars at all levels and around the world have, by all counts, virtual access to more manuscripts and manuscript-related metadata than even a generation ago and are benefited by a broad array of digital tools, technologies, and resources that allow them to locate, gather, analyze, and interrogate digitized manuscripts and related metadata. This is the topic that the 2020 Schoenberg Symposium will be focused on. Along with the Symposium, we are issuing invitations for Lightning Talk videos to be posted as a series to the SIMS YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/SchoenbergInstitute/) Videos must be five minutes long or shorter, and may present any project relating to manuscript studies in the digital age. Submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/6zJqNUgFgwbCxsyq5 Deadline for submitting applications is October 28 Applicants will be notified by November 4 Lightning Talk videos must be five minutes or shorter. Longer videos will be shortened before being posted online. Videos must be submitted to SIMS by November 11 The symposium is Free and is open to the public!

Latest developments of Biblissima, the Observatory of the Written Heritage of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

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 all, The Biblissima team is pleased to announce its main achievements over the last few months. 1. The iconography of manuscripts from French libraries in the Biblissima Portal: The data from Initiale, the catalogue of illuminated manuscripts from the Middle Ages maintained by the IRHT-CNRS, can now be consulted in the Biblissima Portal [1], thus joining those of the Mandragore database (Bibliothèque nationale de France). More than 306,000 records of illuminations and decoration elements can be consulted through a common interface, representing at this stage a corpus of approx. 230,000 digital images accessible via IIIF protocols. For more details, read this Twitter feed [2]. The Portal home page offers a thematic entry point [3] into this large iconographic corpus. 2. Publication of a repository of quotations for ancient manuscripts and printed works: Biblissima's shelfmarks authority file has been published on data.biblissima.fr<http://data.biblissima.fr>, the Biblissima authority data platform [4]. To date, it references nearly 200,000 shelfmarks from various catalogues and databases from Biblissima's partners, progressively integrated into the Portal since 2017, and from the datasets aggregated into the IIIF-Collections search engine. The creation of this authority file responds to the need to unambiguously and uniformly identify manuscripts and printed books thanks to a stable and unique URI identifier that acts as the indispensable pivot for aggregating metadata about the same object. 3. Enrichments of the IIIF-Collections of Manuscripts and Rare Books search engine: IIIF-Collections, the search platform for digitised manuscripts and rare books, aggregates data from 17 digital libraries and allows a federated search on more than 75,000 records [5]. The last two datasets that have been processed and integrated this month come from the Badische Landesbibliothek Karlsruhe and the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto. We remain open to any collaboration on shared entity files in the fields covered by Biblissima, and for the integration of new resources in its Portal. The Biblissima Team.

2020 Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (Virtual Edition)

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. The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 13th Annual (Virtual) Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age: Manuscript Studies in the Digital Covid-19 Age November 18-20, 2020 In the early spring of 2020, as the world shut down, scholarship and teaching were thrown into a virtual, online world. In the hands-on world of manuscripts studies, students, teachers, researchers, librarians, and curators lost physical access to the very objects upon which their work centered. But we were ready. Thanks to world-wide digitization efforts over the past twenty years, scholars at all levels and around the world have, by all counts, virtual access to more manuscripts and manuscript-related metadata than even a generation ago and are benefited by a broad array of digital tools, technologies, and resources that allow them to locate, gather, analyze, and interrogate digitized manuscripts and related metadata. But in a Covid-19 Age, have these resources and tools been enough to continue manuscript research and study? Has scholarship and teaching been supported by these resources and tools in the ways that those who created them intended? Has access to these artifacts of our shared intellectual heritage become more open and equitable or are there still hurdles for scholarship around the world to overcome? Has a forced reckoning with digital tools, technologies, and resources spurred new questions or avenues of research or thrown up barriers? As creators and users of digital tools, technologies, and resources, have we learned anything since March about the success or failure of such projects? We will consider these questions and the opportunities and limitations offered by digital images and manuscript-related metadata as well as the digital and conceptual interfaces that come between the data and us as users. Our goal is to offer a (virtual) space to discuss lessons learned since March and how those lessons can push us to better practice and development of strategies in the future. The symposium will take Wednesday, November 18 to Friday, November 20. Each day will consist of a 90-minute session with papers in the morning, followed by a 90-minute panel discussion led by invited moderators in the afternoon. All sessions will be recorded and made available after each session. Two events will be held conjunction with the symposium: * Scholarly Editing Covid`19-Style: Laura Morreale will lead a 3-day crowd-sourcing effort to transcribe, edit, and submit for publication an edition of Le Pelerinage de Damoiselle Sapience, from UPenn MS Codex 660<https://colenda.library.upenn.edu/catalog/81431-p3cr5nc34> (f. 86r-95v). * Virtual Lightning Round: Pre-recorded 5-minute lightning round talks featuring digital projects at all stages of development, from ideas to implementation. Want to feature your digital project? Submit your proposal here<https://forms.gle/aW4eRSr8fKtU6kPq8> by Friday, October 28, to be considered. For program information and to register, go to: https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/ljs-symposium13. Registration is free and open to the public but required. A Zoom link for all three days will be provided upon registration.

ATNU Virtual Visiting Speaker: Elaine Treharne, Thursday 24 September, 18:00BST

Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. [Please Forward to Anyone Interested] 'Just an Illusion': Beowulf Book Beautiful Elaine Treharne Thursday 24th September, 18h00 (BST) https://research.ncl.ac.uk/atnu/news/virtualspeakerseries202020211.html Professor Elaine Treharne<https://english.stanford.edu/people/elaine-treharne> from Stanford University and Stanford Text Technologies<https://texttechnologies.stanford.edu/> will join us for the first in this year's ATNU visiting speaker series, via zoom. Elaine's talk promises a lively discussion on textual representation, beautiful books and, just as a sample text, Beowulf. Join us on the 24th of September at 18h00 (BST) from wherever you are in the world. See the abstract below for more information, and don't forget to register to receive the joining link<https://forms.ncl.ac.uk/view.php?id=9147398>. The talk is open to all. Abstract: I am interested in three things, all of which center on textual wholeness; my example—'Beowulf'—is simply a case study of a larger theory about representations of TEXT. I’ll ask: i) What can we say about Beowulf in the context of London, British Library, Cotton MS Vitellius A. xv—a book beautiful, without doubt; ii) How did nineteenth- and twentieth-century editors and writers try to make of Beowulf a book beautiful? iii) And finally, what can we say about a bodiless Beowulf?— ‘Beowulf Beyond’: the poem in the digital era, beyond the confines of print. I’ll examine editions of Beowulf in a variety of media, including facsimile, digitized, and digital instantiations of the work. This will allow us—as a collaborative—to reflect upon whether or not any edition can ever be considered more than an illusion: that which is, in essence, an incorrect experience. Register for zoom link at: https://forms.ncl.ac.uk/view.php?id=9147398 Many thanks, James

A welcome (and a farewell)

Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Digital Medievalist Members It has come the time for me to leave the Executive Board (having finished my third and last possible biannual term). For the last five years, after a first year as vice-director, I have tried my best to fill the big shoes of my predecessors as Board Director. I have seen the community grow and become ever more engaged, both in the DistList and through social media, and, last year, I’ve introduced the student and early-career sub-committee<https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/2019/11/25/introducing-dms-student…> as a means to foster collaboration with and involve in DM a number of talented scholars at the beginning of their careers, with all their energy and stimulating ideas. I now leave the Direction of DM in the very capable hands of Lynn Ransom. Lynn is Curator of Programs at the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscripts Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries and, since 2008, she has directed the Schoenberg Database for Manuscripts. Lynn joined DM in 2016 and has been an invaluable member of the Executive Board since the very beginning. This year, we also say goodbye to a number of longstanding members of the Board: Franz Fischer, who will carry on his role as Editor-in-Chief of the Digital Medievalist Journal<https://journal.digitalmedievalist.org/>, Mike Kestemont, and Georg Vogeler. It has been an exciting six-years, and I am looking forward to all the good work that the new board, under Lynn’s direction, will undoubtedly do. Farewell to you all and good luck to Lynn and the new board. Alberto Campagnolo

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. Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Hi all, Thanks, Rose, for pulling this list together! It's nice to see that the enthusiasm and willingness to take on roles. I've taken a look at Els's doodle poll (thanks, Els!). I'd like to suggest Tuesday, September 15, 8am, or Thursday, September 17. 8am EDT (GMT -4). I have a slight preference for Tuesday, but let me know what your thoughts are. Should we ask that a representative from the early stage researchers group come? Since we are deciding roles for the board, it's probably not necessary for everyone in that group to be there, but it might be good to have one representative there. I'm cc'ing Jamie for his thoughts. Also, I would like to try a video meeting. Does anyone object? If we do a video meeting, someone would need to take minutes. Volunteers if so? Lynn From: Rose Faunce <rose.faunce(a)anu.edu.au> Sent: Friday, August 21, 2020 9:34 AM To: Rose Faunce <rozazor(a)gmail.com> Subject: DM Roles Thank you everyone for indicating your preferences. I have drafted a list. My apologies in advance for any mistakes. I am not sure how many people are needed for each of the roles, so I added the names of everyone who nominated for a role. If anyone wants to swap out of something, happy to make changes - just let me know. At our next meeting we can 'chat' about the roles and get going on what needs to be done. Have a good weekend...
