Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear DM Members, Digital Medievalist will be holding elections at the end of June 2020 for five positions to its Executive Board. Board positions are for two-year terms and incumbents may be re-elected (for a maximum of three terms in a row). Members of the Board are responsible for the overall direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist’s many projects and programmes. This is a working board, and so it is expected that you are willing and able to commit a little bit of time to help Digital Medievalist undertake some of its activities (such as helping to run its journal, conference sessions, etc.). For further information about the Executive Board and Digital Medievalist more generally, please see the DM website, particularly: https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/board-roles/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/election-procedures/ https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/bylaws/ We are now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for the annual elections. In order to be eligible for election, candidates must be members of Digital Medievalist (membership is conferred simply by subscription to the organisation’s mailing list, dm-l) and have made some demonstrable contribution either to the DM project (e.g. to the mailing list, or the wiki, etc.) or to the field of digital medieval studies. If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to recommend a suitable candidate, please contact James Harr (jbharr(a)ncsu.edu<mailto:jbharr@ncsu.edu>), Alberto Campagnolo (alberto.campagnolo(a)gmail.com<mailto:alberto.campagnolo@gmail.com>) or Georg Vogeler (georg.vogeler(a)uni-graz.at<mailto:georg.vogeler@uni-graz.at>) who will treat your nomination or enquiries in confidence.

Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. (With apologies for cross-posting) Dear all, three fully-funded PhD positions are now open at the Venice Centre for Digital and Plublic Humanities of Ca' Foscari University, starting in September 2020. For the first position, medieval Italian studies are perfectly fit; also, medieval history is fit for the third position: only the second position the filed is restricted to the Ancient world (though projects that intersect Classics and Medieval studies would be in-topic). All positions have a "digital and public humanities" component. The specific humanistic field of the three positions is: 1. position, "Italian Studies" (deadline May 27); 2. position, "Ancient Heritage Studies" (deadline May 27); 3. position, "Digital and/or Public Humanities and History"(deadline June 16). Details are in https://www.unive.it/data/33113/2/40334 All best, Paolo Monella Visiting scholar, Venice Centre for Digital and Plublic Humanities

Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Hello All, May I give a shoutout to Lisa Fagin Davis and recommend her webinar, ‘Fragments and Fragmentology in the 21st Century’? I was late to the party and so missed registration but caught it over on YouTube https://youtu.be/JQ-XGFZolF8. It’s a real winner: informative, engaging, generous with knowledge. The Q&A, curated by Ben Albritton, added another exciting dimension. Really, it’s scintillating and Elaine Treharne, Ben Albritton and the team at Stanford Text Technologies deserve a loud <Gaudete>.

KASSIA: INTERTEXTUAL STUDY
by ELISABETTA CORSI 09 May '20

09 May '20

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. Good morning, I'm Elisabetta Corsi, student enrolled in the third year of the Degree Course in Literary and Philosophical Studies (Classical Literature) at the University of Siena. In the second part of my thesis, I intend to develop a commentary on the Canon for the Rest of the Dead of the Byzantine Poetess Kassia (9th century). In particular, I would like to highlight the references to Sacred Scripture and Patristics that could be found in the Canon. In an attempt to pursue as much precision as possible within the work, I would like to carry out an intertextual research (through the most relevant lemmas and locutions of the hymn), in order to make clear the relationship that the poetess establishes - consciously or not - with the Scriptural and Patristic texts, so as to draw some possible conclusions on the way in which the poetess carries out the themes of death and Last Judgement. Therefore, I would ask if there were any digital tools (such as corpora or repertories or, maybe, ontologies) that could allow me to carry out the research I have presented. Kind regards, Elisabetta Corsi.

A new secretary hand font
by Baker, Peter S (psb6m) 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

With the usual apologies for cross-posting: Many of you know that in addition to my day job, I have a weird hobby of making fonts for medievalists. This one is a little bit later than the Middle Ages, but may still be of interest. I have just released a font called "Joscelyn," which I call "an uncompromising secretary hand font" because, unlike any other secretary hand font I have seen, it makes no concessions to modernity. It is based on the main hand of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, MS 488, John Joscelyn's Historiola Collegii Corporis Christi. The hand (not Joscelyn's own) is rather formal, and so less difficult than many secretary hands, but it is as near as I've been able to come so far to an authentic reproduction of the hand. When I teach paleography, the most difficult bit for my students is always the last--secretary hand. The idea behind this font is that a decent way to learn this difficult hand might be to (1) install the font, (2) start a Microsoft Word file by double-clicking an included template, (3) apply the "Joscelyn" character style, (4) type whatever you like, and (5) just observe. The authenticity of the font depends on seveal OpenType features being enabled, but the template turns them on for you. At the risk of sounding immodest, I have to say that it's fun to type in this font and see the OpenType features applied in real time--s changed into long s, initial and final forms applied, and much more. And in addition, you can pass as much time as you like playing with the font without running the smallest risk of contracting COVID-19! The font is free (licensed under the Open Font License). You can get it here: https://github.com/psb1558/Joscelyn-font/releases Stay well, everyone. Peter Baker Professor and Director of Graduate Admissions Department of English University of Virginia P.O.
