PhD post on crossroads of palaeography and digital humanities
by Mariken Teeuwen 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Please note this job opening for a PhD (3 years) at Huygens ING in Amsterdam, Netherlands: a project on the crossroads of palaeography and digital humanities. Feel free to pass it around in your network! At the crossroads of manuscript studies and digital humanities: Opening for a PhD researcher in the project Digital Forensics In collaboration with the International Institute for Social History, the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands has been awarded a research grant from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences for the project 'Digital forensics for historical documents. Cracking cold cases with new technology'. In this project, digital image analysis will be used to develop new ways of analysing historical script. The project runs from June 2018 - June 2021. One of the two work packages of the project will develop a new, digital method of script analysis, aiming to bridge the gap between the palaeographical and forensic method. By combining and exploring digital image collections, we will develop a deep learning system that matches the unique characteristics of one script sample to those that are closest to it. Partners in this project are Huygens ING, IISH, Leiden University and Microsoft.

by Ransom, Lynn 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is now accepting applications for the 2018-2019 Visiting Research Fellowship program. Guided by the vision of its founders, Lawrence J. Schoenberg and Barbara Brizdle Schoenberg, SIMS brings manuscript culture, modern technology, and people together to provide access to and understanding of our shared intellectual heritage. SIMS oversees an extensive collection of pre-modern manuscripts from around the world, with a special focus on the history of philosophy and science, and creates open-access digital content to support the study of its collections. SIMS also hosts the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts<http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg/index.html> and the annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age<http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium.html> and publishes the journal Manuscript Studies<https://mss.pennpress.org/home/>. The SIMS Visiting Research Fellowships have been established to encourage research relating to the pre-modern manuscript collections held by Penn Libraries, including the Schoenberg Collection. Located in the heart of Penn's campus near other manuscript-rich research collections (the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Science History Institute, and the Rosenbach Museum and Library, among many others), and linked to the local and international scholarly communities, SIMS offers fellows a network of resources and opportunities for research and collaboration. Fellows will be encouraged to interact with SIMS staff, Penn faculty, and other medieval and early modern scholars in the Philadelphia area. Fellows will also be expected to present their research at Penn Libraries either during the term of the fellowship or on a selected date following the completion of the term. Applications are due May 1, 2018. For more information on eligibility and the application process, go to: https://schoenberginstitute.org/visiting-research-fellowships-2/.

A Formal Model for Historical Atlases and Historical Knowledge
by Christos Nüssli 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Dear Listmembers, When designing historical maps spanning several centuries, we faced serious difficulties to consistently show the different categories of political entities in view of the evolution of political ideas. That is why, we are currently trying to work out an impartial and consistent solution allowing to depict all kind of polities throughout history regardless of the ideas of the time, as a formal model which in reality goes beyond the simple stage of historical geography. Thus we published the draft A FORMAL MODEL FOR HISTORICAL ATLASES AND HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE which is the first part of our research. https://www.academia.edu/s/af65884c0f/a-formal-model-for-historical-atlases… In the second step, we will define precisely the criteria for assigning properties to objects. Persons interested can receive an invitation code in order to create their own graph in our model. Sincerely ________________________________________ Christos Nüssli www.euratlas.org

The Digital Classicist invites proposals for the summer 2018 seminar series, which will run on Friday afternoons in June and July in the Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London. We would like to see papers that address the tension between standardisation and customisation in digital and other innovative and collaborative classics research. The seminar encompasses all areas of classics, including ancient history, archaeology and reception (including cultures beyond the Mediterranean). Papers from researchers of all levels, including students and professional practitioners, are welcome. There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend). To submit a paper, please email an abstract of up to 300 words as an attachment to valeria.vitale(a)sas.ac.uk by Monday, March 19th, 2018. == Dr Gabriel BODARD Reader in Digital Classics Institute of Classical Studies University of London Senate House Malet Street London WC1E 7HU E: Gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk T: +44 (0)20 78628752 http://digitalclassicist.org/

Dear friends, The Medieval Academy of America will be meeting in Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania on March 7-9, 2019. Our theme is the “Global Turn in Medieval Studies,” though proposals may be submitted on any topic. We are especially hoping to attract proposals for papers, sessions, workshops, roundtables, etc from the medievalists working in all aspects of the digital humanities. Please consider submitting! See below for the CFP. Best, Lynn From: The Medieval Academy of America [mailto:info@themedievalacademy.org] Sent: Friday, February 02, 2018 12:50 PM To: Ransom, Lynn Subject: 2019 Annual Meeting Call for Papers <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013Q95gXOB6H2UGasg5MibpCUWnIxvZ_Fc2SmTPGRFz89x…>[MAA logo]<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013Q95gXOB6H2UGasg5MibpCUWnIxvZ_Fc2SmTPGRFz89x…><http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0013Q95gXOB6H2UGasg5MibpCUWnIxvZ_Fc2SmTPGRFz89x…> The Medieval Academy of America 1 February 2018 2019 Annual Meeting Call for Papers The 94th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America will take place in Philadelphia on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania, from 7-9 March 2019. The meeting is jointly hosted by the Medieval Academy of America, Bryn Mawr College, Delaware Valley Medieval Association, Haverford College, St. Joseph's University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Villanova University. The Global Turn in Medieval Studies: Medievalists across various disciplines are taking a more geographically and methodologically global approach to the study of the Middle Ages. While the Organizing Committee invites proposals for papers on all topics and in all disciplines and periods of medieval studies, this year's conference spotlights the "global turn" in medieval studies. To this end, we encourage session and paper proposals that treat the Middle Ages as a broad historical and cultural phenomenon, encompassing the full extent of Europe as well as the Middle East, southern and eastern Asia, Africa, and beyond. We also invite proposals that explore departures from traditional teleological discourses rooted in national interests, ones that apply disciplinary and interdisciplinary methods to study a broad array of subjects.
