Corpus hagiographique bourguignon (Ve-XVe siècles) - Atelier 2. Débats et recherches - 19 juin 2018
by Eliana Magnani 04 May '18

*Corpus hagiographique bourguignon (V^e -XV^e siècles)* ** *Atelier 2. Débats et recherches* ** *19 juin 2018 * *10h-18h * *Sorbonne - Salle Perroy * /*G*/*alerie Jean-Baptiste Dumas, escalier R, 2^e étage* *1, rue Victor Cousin - 75005 Paris* ** Dans le cadre du programme des CBMA (/Corpus Burgundiae Medii Aevi/ - cbma-project.eu <http://www.cbma-project.eu/>), et du projet de réalisation d'un corpus structuré et hétérogène de textes latins médiévaux, un premier sous-corpus de textes hagiographiques bourguignons (V^e -XV^e siècles) est en cours de réalisation. Venant en contraste avec les 29 000 actes diplomatiques déjà numérisés et enregistrés,le propos principal de ce projet est d’assembler des textes typologiquement hétérogènes, mais géographiquement circonscrits, de les documenter et les diffuser dans un format adapté aux formalisations et aux recherches assistées par l’informatique, notamment les fouilles de texte et les SIG. Ainsi constitué, ce corpus pourra être utilisé pour lui-même mais aussi servir de point de comparaison avec d’autres corpus, ouvrant ainsi à des approches à différentes échelles : locales, régionales, européennes. Ce deuxième atelier vise à présenter et à débattre collectivement des premières réalisations : l’inventaire des textes hagiographiques et l’état des connaissances qu’il permet de dresser, ainsi que les problèmes rencontrés dans l’acquisition des métadonnées et les solutions à envisager. Il sera aussi l’occasion d’échanger autour des recherches récentes, en aval et en amont du corpus lui-même : les manuscrits, la transmission-transformation textuelle ainsi que les expériences des traitements statistiques. Ouverte à tous les intéressés, cette opération est portée par le Lamop (Laboratoire de Médiévistique Occidentale de Paris - UMR 8589), soutenue par le Labex HaStec en partenariat avec l’IRHT (Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes – CNRS UPR 841), le Centre Jean Mabillon (EnC - EA 3624) et le LEM/CERCOR (Laboratoire d’Études sur les Monothéismes – UMR 8584 / Centre européen de recherche sur les congrégations et les ordres religieux).

Funded PhD: A study and critical edition of the Carolingian compilation De Astronomia in Laon, Bibliothèque Municipale, MS 422
by Yiannis Doukas 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Classics/School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures/CASSCS National: Funded PhD Scholarship *Project Title: *A study and critical edition of the Carolingian compilation *De Astronomia *in Laon, Bibliothèque Municipale, MS 422 *Supervisor*: Dr Jacopo Bisagni (Classics / School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures / CASSCS / NUI, Galway) *Duration:* Funded for 4 years (Structured PhD), full-time. *Project description: *This Structured PhD project is a component of the larger project ‘Ireland and Carolingian Brittany: Texts and Transmission’ (IrCaBriTT), funded by the Laureate Scheme of the Irish Research Council (IRC) and led by Dr Jacopo Bisagni. The successful applicant will transcribe, edit and analyse the Carolingian astronomical/computistical compilation titled *De Astronomia*, contained in the early 9th-century manuscript Laon, Bibliothèque Municipale, 422 (hereafter abbreviated as L). In particular, thorough source-criticism of L will be aimed at identifying all the sources that underlie this impressive scientific encyclopaedia and the textual strata that compose it. Central to this work will be the attempt to understand the exact relationship between L and other Early Medieval manuscripts that share textual materials with it (especially Cologne, Dombibliothek, MS 83-II): this detailed analysis will focus on (A) the possible role played by Brittany in the creation of some of the textual strata that constitute the compilation *De Astronomia*, and (B) the exact route of transmission followed by the materials of Irish origin found therein. The PhD student will moreover study the language of L, in order to retrieve, for example, syntactic and/or lexical peculiarities that may be attributable to specific forms of regional Latinity (e.g. Breton, Irish etc.). It is expected that the PhD thesis – which will constitute this project’s main deliverable – will contain: (1) a comprehensive study of the contents, underlying sources and overall significance of L; (2) a critical edition of *De Astronomia*, accompanied by an English translation, a philological *apparatus*, and further *apparati *indicating sources and wider parallels; (3) a detailed textual commentary. *Stipend:* €16,000 per annum; fees for 4 years: €23,000 (€5,750 x 4). *Entry Requirements:* - *Essential requirements:* (1) undergraduate or postgraduate degree (awarded or pending) in a relevant academic area (relevant areas include but are not limited to: Classics, Medieval Studies, Celtic Studies, Historical Linguistics); (2) at least 1 year of study of Latin at University level (or extensive study of Latin at Secondary School level); (3) evidence of basic reading knowledge of French and/or German. - *Desirable requirements:* (1) knowledge of Medieval Latin palaeography; (2) knowledge of Old Irish and/or Old Breton; (3) previous study/research experience in the area of Ancient and/or Medieval ‘scientific’ literature (e.g. *computus*, astronomy, music, medicine, etc.). *Expected start date:* 3 September 2018 *How to apply:* Please send the following documents to Dr Jacopo Bisagni, via e-mail to jacopo.bisagni(a)nuigalway.ie - a letter of introduction - a current CV, indicating in particular your research experience - the names of *two* referees. - a writing sample such as an academic essay, an article, a chapter from a dissertation, etc. (samples should preferably be written in English or Irish, although samples in French, German, Italian and Spanish will also be acceptable). - a personal research statement (max. 400 words), outlining your motivations for applying for this Scholarship, and describing how this project relates to your own research interests. *Closing date for applications:* 1 June 2018, 5pm For informal discussion, contact Dr Jacopo Bisagni at 00353 (0)91 495963 or at the e-mail address jacopo.bisagni(a)nuigalway.ie Further information about Classics and the Moore Institute at NUI, Galway is available at https://www.nuigalway.ie/classics/ and http://mooreinstitute.ie/ Further information on CAMPS (the Centre for Antique, Medieval & Pre-Modern Studies at NUI, Galway) is available at http://www.nuigalway.ie/camps/ Useful information about PhDs at NUI, Galway can be accessed at http://www.nuigalway.ie/courses/research-postgraduate-programmes/

Web UI for the samewords script
by Michael Stenskjær Christensen 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Dear colleagues, A little while ago I announced the small script I have created to automatically annotate potentially ambiguous critical apparatus entries in critical text editions. Samewords I call it. Some potential users may be kept from trying using it, as it requires you to run it through Python on the computer. So I have created an online web service. There is a UI version available here: http://samewords.stenskjaer.net/. Upload your edition file, wait a couple of seconds and get back the annotated version. For the more technically minded there is also a RESTful API endpoint that can be used to call the script on any file with a publicly reachable URL. A bit of documentation about how to use that can be found here: https://samewords.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html I hope this will make it easy for anyone to use the script in creation of their critical editions in LaTeX. Any feedback is of course very welcome. Enjoy the weekend, Michael [R&R] <http://representationandreality.gu.se/> Michael Stenskjær Christensen<mailto:michaelsc@hum.ku.dk> • PhD-student<http://saxoinstitute.ku.dk/staff/?pure=en/persons/345119> Representation and Reality<http://representationandreality.gu.se/> • University of Gothenburg<http://www.gu.se/english> Department of Greek and Latin<http://saxo.ku.dk/> • University of Copenhagen<http://www.ku.dk/>

Digital Scriptorium News and Survey
by Ransom, Lynn 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

Digital Scriptorium (DS) is a growing consortium of American libraries and museums committed to free online access to their collections of pre-modern manuscripts. Our website unites scattered resources from many institutions into a national digital platform for teaching and scholarly research. It serves to connect an international user community to multiple repositories by means of a digital union catalog with sample images and searchable metadata. DS has valiantly served manuscript researchers around the world since it was launched in 1997. However, as online technology has changed dramatically since then and digitization has become the norm rather than the exception, DS's Executive Board is undertaking a strategic planning initiative to address the future of DS and what needs to be done to ensure its critical contribution to manuscript studies on a national and global level. As part of this process, we would like to get your input on the current DS platform and your suggestions for ways that DS might improve in any aspect. To this end, we invite you to complete a short survey (5-10 mins) to help us determine how DS is used, what works and what doesn't, and who uses it and why. The survey can be accessed through this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FHWWVK9 or by going to the DS website go to: http://www.digital-scriptorium.org/. Thanks in advance for your help! The DS Executive Board: Debra Taylor Cashion (St. Louis University), Executive Director & President Janine Pollock (Free Library of Philadelphia), Vice President Lynn Ransom (University of Pennsylvania Libraries), Secretary E. C. Schroeder (Beinecke Library, Yale University), Treasurer Lynne Grigsby (UC-Berkeley), Technology Host Consuelo Dutschke (Columbia University), Director at Large Vanessa Wilkie (The Huntington Library), Director at Large Cherry Williams (UC-Riverside), Director at Large To learn more about DS, go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Scriptorium.

5 Data Science (of which one Digital Humanities) PhD positions at the University of Vienna
by Tara L Andrews 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Dear colleagues, I’d like to take this opportunity to announce some open positions at the University of Vienna, one of which is dedicated explicitly to Digital Humanities. Please forward to any likely candidates! Best wishes, Tara Andrews Univ.-Prof. Dr. Tara L Andrews Digital Humanities Institut für Geschichte, Universität Wien Universitätsring 1, A-1010 Wien *** Starting Date: May 1st, 2018 Application deadline: April 30th, 2018 Duration: 3 years http://datascience.univie.ac.at Job ad: https://tinyurl.com/ds-UniVie Data Science @ Uni Wien is a new research platform at the University of Vienna that presents a hub on all activities in data science at the University of Vienna. We have openings for five enthusiastic PhD students to establish an interdisciplinary research environment. The PhD students will be hosted in one of the faculties of Computer Science, Mathematics, or Business, Economics and Statistics. Each of the PhD students will be co-supervised by members of at least two different faculties and work on research problems in one of five domains, Astronomy, Digital Humanities, Finance, Industry 4.0, Medical Sciences. The focus in these areas is described as follows: Astronomy is currently undergoing a data deluge with multiwavelength missions on earth and space. The focus of the PhD project in this area is the development of algorithmic and visual analysis techniques for the Gaia mission data, an ambitious ESA satellite currently charting a three-dimensional map of our Galaxy with accurate positions and velocities of about 2 billion stars. The student will focus on large data exploration and data analysis to tackle astrophysical questions, making use of Data Science tools. The Digital Humanities area will have a particular focus on digital historical studies. The student will focus on the development of suitable data models for information about historical people and cultures that is harvested from the digitisation of texts and artifacts. Another goal will be to look at how these models, and machine learning techniques that make use of them, will coexist with the interpretative critical frameworks through which historical analysis is usually done. Potential topics in the area of Finance are visual analysis tools for the analysis of volatility, liquidity and market microstructure relations based on large cross-sections of limit order book data. A second area will focus on the development and application of dimension reduction techniques for high-dimensional dependence and network structures. Among others, further topics will be the development of monitoring tools to analyze market dynamics around singular events. In Industry 4.0, the production process in a shop floor consisting of cyber-physical production systems produces huge amount of data. In addition a current trend in modern societies is the increased need in personalized products. This aspect increases the number of different product variants and results in smaller lot-sizes, which leads to a higher complexity and to dynamic processes. In such dynamic environments exceptions and disruptions are frequent and often lead to unforeseen situations and possibly negative consequences. Hence, the PhD position focuses on detecting dynamic process changes or unexpected disruptions early by exploiting the available data. Moreover, strategies to avoid negative impacts whenever such disruptions occur have to be developed. Such strategies may apply predictive methods for planning in advance or adopt real-time planning approaches with the aim to revise the original plans quickly. In the area of Medical Sciences the goal is to develop new data analysis methods supporting an integrative view on information originating from different sources including medical imaging, genetic data, clinical biomarkers and demographic data. We will particularly focus on clustering methods supporting the stratification of patient collectives with the long term goal of personalized medicine. As applications we will consider Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer. Applications including: - Letter of motivation that clarifies the candidate’s particular domain(s) of interest and the target phd programme - Curriculum vitae - List of publications - Evidence of teaching experience (if available) - Degree certificates should be submitted via the Job Center to the University of Vienna (http://jobcenter.univie.ac.at) no later than Apr 30th, 2018, mentioning reference number 8347._______________________________________________ DS-Board mailing list DS-Board(a)lists.univie.ac.at https://lists.univie.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/ds-board

by Ransom, Lynn 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Dear friends, The 94th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy will be held in Philadelphia on the University of Pennsylvania campus from March 7-9, 2019. The overall theme of the conference is "The Global Turn in Medieval Studies." As a co-chair of the organizing committee, I would especially like to invite members of the dm- list to propose papers or sessions relating to the thread "Digitizing the Global Middle Ages: Practices, Sustainability, and Ethics." While this thread can be broadly interpreted, our aim is to further conversations on the role and value of digitization in the preservation of our shared cultural heritage and on the practices and ethics of digitizing across cultural and geographic boundaries. If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please consult the CFP, available here: www.medievalacademy.org/page/2019Meeting<http://www.medievalacademy.org/page/2019Meeting>. Individuals or groups may propose a poster, paper, full session, roundtable or workshop. Membership in the Medieval Academy is required to present at the conference, but special consideration will be given to individuals whose fields would not traditionally involve membership in the Medieval Academy. Proposals are due June 15, 2018. Please feel free to distribute this announcement to other lists that may have interested members. And please don't hesitate to contact me or any member of the organizing committee (names appear on CFP) if you have questions. Best, Lynn ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Curator of Programs, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies schoenberginstitute.org Project Director, The New Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts https://sdbm.library.upenn.edu/ Co-Editor, Manuscript Studies: A Journal of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies mss.pennpress.org The University of Pennsylvania Libraries 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-6206 215.898.7851
