Dear digital medievalists,
Gabby Bodard has just posted a good question to our cousin, the mailing
list of Digital Classicist on (see below).
I wonder if you know of sites that catalogue or index original medieval
texts (Latin, but also Greek and Vernacular). The Corpus Corporum
(http://www.mlat.uzh.ch/MLS/) sure is the most complete
(meta-)repository of freely available Latin texts. Other texts are
indicated in the catalogues of digital editions by Patrick Sahle
(http://digitale-edition.de/) and Greta Franzini
(https://dig-ed-cat.acdh.oeaw.ac.at/), both browsable by language and
period.
What would medievalists suggest?
Many thanks,
Franz

Oggetto: [DIGITALCLASSICIST] Index or catalogue of original ancient texts?

Dear colleagues,
Do you know of a site that catalogues or indexes original ancient texts
(Greek, Latin—including Mediaeval Latin etc.—and other classical
languages are all relevant in this context) wherever on the web they may
be? Sites such as Perseus, Latin Library, Intratext, Poesia Latin,
Loebolus, Wikisource, Google Books, all have different coverage (and
quality) of ancient texts. The DLL Catalog
(https://catalog.digitallatin.org/) aim to catalogue Latin texts of this
kind, but don't seem to capture things like Wikisource, Gutenberg or Google.
Where would you go to find all possible free and open sources of Latin
text of, for example, Geoffrey of Monmouth? Or Greek equivalent?
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions, and all best,
Gabby

Dear colleagues,
Radboud University Nijmegen is advertising a four-year postdoctoral position in the NWO VICI-project 'Source of Life: Water Management in the Premodern Middle East (7th-15th century)’. This project studies the interrelationship between water installations, governance, and legal and cultural frameworks in five Middle Eastern cities (Basra, Baghdad, Mosul, Damascus and Cairo) from the first Arab conquests to Ottoman rule (7th-15th C). It seeks to:
1) map the institutional fabric of premodern Middle Eastern cities by taking water as a key service
2) identify incentives for institutional innovation in premodern urban water governance.
Postdoctoral project - Water installations and waterways: An archaeological approach
Your postdoctoral research approaches the two main objectives of the project from an archaeological perspective. You will have three main responsibilities within the project:
1) to analyse geospatial data and remaining visual features in the landscape of Iraq around Basra, Baghdad and Mosul, through the outcomes of the aerial survey based on photography and satellite imagery;
2) to examine archaeological publications and reports and contact archaeological teams for all five cities to gather data relevant to Source of Life and interpret these findings for the rest of the team; and
3) to supervise the GIS environment in close cooperation with the GIS specialists from the Radboud Humanities Lab.

In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce:
The 12th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age
November 21-23, 2019
Hooking Up
The concept of linked open data is the holy grail of the digital humanities. Yet the problem of how to link information across platforms has existed since civilization began. As knowledge and learning expanded in pre-modern society, the problems associated with collecting, combining, and disseminating information inspired new approaches to and technologies for the material text. In the internet age, we continue to grapple with the same problems and issues. While technologies have changed, the questions remain the same.
This year's symposium explores the connections between historic and current approaches to data linkage in regard to manuscripts and manuscript research. Hooking Up addresses the topic from a variety of angles and considers how the manuscript book operates as a vehicle for information retrieval and dissemination from the technology of the page and the textual apparatus of a book, to the library, and finally, the internet. We will also consider such questions as how medieval practices of memory shaped information retrieval and gathering, how did the technology of the manuscripts book-in all its many forms-facilitate or hinder information processing, how can medieval solutions inform modern technologies, and how do modern technologies illuminate medieval practices? The program will also feature sessions highlighting projects that are advancing linked data technologies for manuscript researchers, including the T-AP Digging Into Data Challenge project Mapping Manuscript Migrations<http://mappingmanuscriptmigrations.org/>.

*Global Digital Humanities Symposium*
March 26-27, 2020
Michigan State University
msuglobaldh.org
*Call for Proposals*
Deadline: November 1
Proposal form <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>
Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its
symposium series on Global DH into its fifth year, on March 26-27, 2020.
Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the
intersections of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment
to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. In celebration of the
10th anniversary of MSU's Cultural Heritage Informatics Program
<http://chi.anthropology.msu.edu/>, we particularly encourage proposals
along that theme, but as always we strive to showcase DH work in all its
forms.
Alongside the expansion of digital humanities in under-resourced and
underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including,
among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation,
digital rights, endangered data, and the digital divide. DH communities
have raised and responded to these issues, pushing the field forward. This
symposium is an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues.
Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational
partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome.
Additionally, we define the term “humanities” rather broadly to incorporate
the discussion of issues that encourage interdisciplinary understanding of
the humanities.
Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the
intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism,
intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial
frameworks to participate.
This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types,
welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and
particularly on the following themes and topics by *Friday, November 1,
midnight in your timezone*:
- Critical cultural studies and analytics
- Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western
- DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement
- Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance,
especially in a postcolonial context
- How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital
humanities work
- Global research dialogues and collaborations within the digital
humanities community
- Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital
- Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism
- Global digital pedagogies
- Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital
- Digital and global languages and literatures
- Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change
- Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages,
and economies
- Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context
- Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context
- Productive failure
*Presentation Formats*:
- 5-minute lightning talk
- 15-minute presentation
- 90-minute workshop
- 90-minute panel
- Poster presentation
- There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute
virtual presentations
Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please
refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal.
*Submit a proposal here* <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>
*Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 9, 2019*
