Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. The Records of Early English Drama announces the open access publication of its latest edition in the REED series: REED: Hampshire, edited by Peter Greenfield and Jane Cowling. Now available on REED Online at https://ereed.library.utoronto.ca/ and https://ereed.library.utoronto.ca/collections/hamps/ REED: Hampshire offers the largest and most varied set of medieval and renaissance records yet included in REED Online, spanning from the late 10th century to the start of the Civil War in 1642. Records range from a kingale mentioned in a 1381 coroner's report to a previously unpublished play based on Sophocles and Seneca performed at Winchester College. Hampshire's record of seasonal festivities – especially that known regionally as a 'king ale' – complements and extends the Berkshire data across the common county boundary. Winchester, Winchester College, and Southampton are major stops in a lively performance circuit including other towns, monasteries, and aristocratic households which provide abundant evidence of itinerant minstrels, players, and other performers. Collection highlights include records of the Quem Quaeritis at Winchester, the boy bishop tradition at St Swithin's Priory, a 1409 legal dispute over a St Agnes play, expenses for constructing stages and sets in the Winchester College hall, licenses to acting troupes from the Master of the Revels that name star actors like Edward Alleyn and Will Kemp, and the elaborate entertainment for Queen Elizabeth provided by the earl of Hertford at Elvetham in 1591, which appears here in its Hampshire context. Also included are Isle of Wight records of both folk customs and aristocratic entertainments. All locations are linked to the GIS provincial map of England, which now defines, for the first time, pre- and post-Reformation diocesan boundaries. Now available on REED Online at https://ereed.library.utoronto.ca/ and https://ereed.library.utoronto.ca/collections/hamps/

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. Dear all, with apologies for cross-posting, I am forwarding the call for papers of the 2nd issue of the first number (2020) of the new DH jounal "magazén". Please note that the deadline is close: August 15. Best, Paolo Monella --- Call for Papers – Issue 2/2020 – “Fusions” magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (unive.it/vedph) Department of Humanities, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy Deadlines: Abstract Submission – August 15, 2020 Abstract acceptance – August 30, 2020 Articles Submission – December 15, 2020 Prospective publication – June 2021 –––––––––– magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities magazén is the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) based at the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice undergoing double blind peer review and published twice per year in print, digital copy and html version in open access by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. The VeDPH is founded upon an initiative of excellence that aims at stimulating an interdisciplinary methodological discourse to serve as a basis for the collaborative development of durable, reusable, shared resources for research and learning in the field of digital and public humanities. Its disciplinary domains include Digital Textual Scholarship, Digital and Public Art History, Digital and Public History, Digital Cultural Heritage and Digital and Public Archaeology. –––––––––– Call for Papers | Issue 2/2020 magazén is looking for contributors to its 2020 inaugural volume entitled “Fusions”, which will devote also the second semestral issue of the journal to the intertwining landscape emerging from the recent development of digital and public humanities. As a matter of fact, in the last two decades much effort was placed in defining separate disciplinary fields, in order to canonise and validate the use of digital methodologies or public approaches in the specific subsets of the humanities. However, evidence suggests that digital and public challenges facing singular disciplines are actually common to the entire field of the humanities, thus favouring a cross-disciplinary approach rather than thematic isolation. Indeed, the impact of digitisation and public involvement offered a unique opportunity to the humanities: a window for experimentation with merged methodologies, blended sharing practices, joined representation modes, interpenetrated material research. In this process new actors, factors and agents emerged that are about to consolidate today’s landscape in the digital and public humanities, although still on the search for standards and best practices that could suit the entire field. For its inaugural volume magazén is set to examine in two semestral issues (Summer 2020 and Fall 2020) the concept of “fusions” as the very backbone of recent developments in the realm of digital and public humanities. Scholars are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the examination of particular case studies. See the full call for papers at: https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/en/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/info#details –––––––––– Abstracts | Focus and Submission guidelines For scholars interested in submitting a proposal for our second semestral issue, please write an abstract of no more than 200 words together with a short biographical note and the provisional title of the paper. All materials should be sent by August 15, 2020 via email (subject: “magazen 2/2020 – Call for Papers”) to the editorial board at the following address: magazen(a)unive.it Notice of selection will be given to authors within two weeks from submission deadline. Finalised contributions are expected to be 6.000–9.000 words long (notes and bibliography included) and will undergo double blind peer review. Accepted languages are Italian and English, though all texts must have an English abstract and stick to the editorial guidelines of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Texts that shouldn’t comply with editorial guidelines won’t be accepted. Please note that the author must secure all copyright permissions (reproduction costs included) for images and other media. The deadline for all accepted articles is December 15, 2020 and final publication of the second issue is planned by June 2021.

Charlotte Tupman (Exeter) Reconsidering the Roman workshop: Applying machine learning to the study of inscribing texts Fri, Aug 7, 2020, 17:30 BST Digital Classicist London Seminar 2020 Streamed live at https://youtu.be/sVUg9R13l5E This paper examines whether our understanding of lettercutting processes in the Roman world can be enhanced through combining traditional scholarship and machine learning. The pilot project applies a neural network to a dataset of images made available by the Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg. We investigate whether the model can learn effectively to identify and measure the layouts of inscriptions. In this paper we present the results and implications of the first stage of the project, in which we train the model to recognise text within images of varying quality, and discuss the next steps in furthering our knowledge of Roman craftsmanship.

Digital Classicist London Seminar 2020 Institute of Classical Studies Claire Holleran (Exeter) Mapping Migration in Roman Iberia Friday July 24th at 17:30 (UK time) Streamed live and archived at <https://youtu.be/bmtXDQBm2OI> This paper will present the findings of a Leverhulme-funded project exploiting the rich body of epigraphic data from the Iberian Peninsula to explore population movement in the region in the first two centuries AD. Working with a database of over 500 inscriptions, the project maps inscriptions in order to enable better visualisation and closer analysis of the epigraphic data. The paper will demonstrate an important new open-access resource, consisting of a searchable online database and an interactive map of population movement within (and beyond) the Iberian Peninsula, as well as setting out the methodology and some of the benefits and limitations of the approaches taken.

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. Dear Researchers, I would like to recommend a free, multilingual, shared database for historians called FactGrid, a joint initiative of German research centers. The platform runs on the versatile Wikibase (like Wikidata), the data can be used freely by anyone but can be edited only by historians. At the moment there are already 150,000 items in the data set and it's constantly expanding with new projects and will have the full database of the German National Library integrated. They welcome new research projects but it is also possible to upload older datasets or migrate finished projects to the website. Feel free to browse and request an account: https://database.factgrid.de<https://t.co/Z3DS8jGPuw?amp=1> More detailed information: https://blog.factgrid.de/archives/1591<https://t.co/J2QINMRjcR?amp=1> I hope you find it useful, let me know if you have any questions, and if you can, please share the information with other researchers. Best wishes, Adam Harangozó -- [https://ovo-brand-assets.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/CarbonCapper3.png] 'Thank you' emails have a massive carbon footprint: so this is me saying thanks without sending it.
