CFP Kalamazoo 2018: Digital Editing / Digital Archiving
by Albert Lloret 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Sponsored by Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures Organized by Albert Lloret (University of Massachusetts Amherst) and Jeanette Patterson (Binghamton University, SUNY) The prevalent use of digital tools and online environments to edit medieval texts is resulting in a myriad of projects in which unique solutions are deployed to offer optimal representations of very different textual objects. Single manuscripts, library collections, authorial corpora, and works preserved in several witnesses, for instance, all beg for different editorial and archival approaches. The possibilities for study and representation, in addition, are multiplied not only by the technologies employed or designed ad hoc for each project, but also by the scholars’ ideas on the very nature of what is being studied. We invite paper submissions that reflect on the theory, developments, and challenges of editing and archiving medieval texts, including, but not limited to: •theories of digital edition. •the making of digital editions. •technologies employed in the making of digital archives. •examples of digital editions and archives. Please send a 100-word abstract and a Participant Information Form (available here: https://wmich.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/u434/2017/medieval-pif-20… ) to Albert Lloret at lloret(a)umass.edu by September 15.

by Ransom, Lynn 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 2-4, 2017 Intertwined Worlds Registration now open! In partnership with the Rare Book Department<https://libwww.freelibrary.org/rarebooks/index.cfm> of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies (SIMS<http://schoenberginstitute.org/>) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. Despite the linguistic and cultural complexity of many regions of the premodern world, religion supplies the basis of a strong material and textual cohesion that both crosses and intertwines boundaries between communities. This year's theme, "Intertwined Worlds," will highlight the confluence of expressions of belief, ritual, and social engagement emerging in technologies and traditions of the world's manuscript cultures, often beyond a single religious context. It will consider common themes and practices of textual, artistic, literary, and iconographic production in religious life across time and geography, from ancient precedents to modern reception and dissemination in the digital age. For more information and to register, go to: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium10.html . Participants include: * Iqbal Akhtar, Florida International University * Paul Dilley, University of Iowa * Benjamin Fleming, University of Pennsylvania * Ellen Gough, Emory University * Thibaud d'Hubert, University of Chicago * Ayesha Irani, University of Massachusetts, Boston * Shazia Jagot, University of Southern Denmark * Samantha Kelly, Rutgers University * Jinah Kim, Harvard University * Sabine Schmidtke, Institute for Advanced Studies * Gila Prebor, Bar-Ilan University * Michael Pregil, Boston University * Michael Stanley-Baker, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science * Columba Stewart, Hill Museum and Manuscript Library * Tyler Williams, University of Chicago * Saymon Zakaria, Bangla Academy, Dhaka * Maayan Zhitomirsky-Geffet, Bar-Ilan University

CfP: Archival memory: institutions, texts, and shapes (Leeds 2018)
by Georg Vogeler 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

CfP: Archival memory: institutions, texts, and shapes (Leeds 2018) Publié le 31 août 2017 par Sébastien Barret Nous publions ici l’appel à communications suivant, pour le Congrès international de Leeds (IMC) de 2018, qui aura lieu du 2 au 5 juillet 2018: Archival memory: institutions, texts, and shapes via: https://drd.hypotheses.org/1628 Archival memory: institutions, texts, and shapes Medieval charters and archives were a natural component of an institution’s memory: acts and deeds constituted primarily a way to keep and preserve the remembrance of a legal or para-legal action for the future. But beyond this evident fact, such documents could also be used to produce, or take part in, specific memorial discourses. Three different levels of granularity are adequate to deal with the issue of “archival memory”: the individual document, the compilation, and the archives. As for individual documents, foundation charters or deeds which were used as foundation charters by subsequent generations give numerous, yet diverse examples of the building of an archival memory. Single charters could also use a part of their text to directly or indirectly hint at their role as memorial objects, either in a more or less abstract way, or by using historical and pseudo-historical references as an element of their discourse. To name two examples, the preamble of the text was a place where the topic of memory could be developed; and the narratio exposing motives leading to a decision could place them in a historical and memorial context. Graphical components (script, layout, decoration…) may have been implemented as well in a memorial strategy. Silent imitations of previously granted charters, be it in the formulaic components, or in the style, shape, and ornament of the text may be seen as a memorial endeavour: indeed, studies on the influences of chanceries in the handwriting and formulary sometimes take for granted that papal bullae or imperial diplomas were available to be imitated, but the imitation might be an internal issue within the institution. Forgeries may also encompass a graphic and a textual component from the forger’s institution, and imitate the ornamental, scribal and textual components of previous in-house productions. Discriminating the inward efficiency (memoria) and the outward efficiency (claims and rights) in order to better understand the aims of such documents is an open field. At a second level, compilations comprise obviously cartularies and “cartulary-chronicles”, but also other “archival books”. Books made out of archival material not only had often an explicit memorial component, but could also develop such a role in an implicit way, born of the selection, arrangement and presentation of the copied material. While much has been done on the most ancient cartularies, compilations from the later Middle Ages are still a relatively new, albeit already studied, field of research in that regard. As well as in individual documents, such compilations could retain graphic elements from their models (figured copies, reproduction of script, monograms and validation marks…) or add new ones in order to shape and stage the community and its memory (illuminations…). Finally, the way documents were kept, their treatment at the hands of medieval archivists, the way archival “collections” were ordered (or not) gave another possibility for charters to participate in the creation of the memoria of an institution. We welcome proposals for 20 minutes papers exploring the way charters, deeds, acts and related documents as well as their “by-products” were used to produce, participate in or reinforce given memorial discourses and/or structures, whether explicitly or implicitly. While memorial aspects of the question should be at the core of the papers, speakers may also reflect on the role such discourses had in the building of identities. These questions may be approached either from the point of view of the production of the documents or focussing on their reception, including their ancient and modern historiographical use. Please send your title, abstract (300 words max.) and affiliation to Sébastien Barret (sebastien.barret(a)cnrs-orleans.fr) and Dominique Stutzmann (dominique.stutzmann(a)irht.cnrs.fr) before the 20 September 2017. We hope to be able to fund each speaker with approx. 500 €.

Coding dates, a question
by Enrica Salvatori 01 Sep '17

01 Sep '17

Gentili colleghi / Dear collegues Avrei un quesito che riguarda la codifica del Codice Pelavicino Edizione Digitale che sto curando http://pelavicino.labcd.unipi.it/ <http://pelavicino.labcd.unipi.it/> e che credo possa suscitare il vostro interesse. Per chi non lo sapesse il Codice Pelavicino è il liber iurium del vescovo di Luni, composto nel tardo XIII, contiene copia di documenti dal X (pochi) in poi fino ovviamente alla fine del XIII. I would have a question about the coding of the Pelavicino Code Digital Edition that I am doing <http://pelavicino.labcd.unipi.it/ <http://pelavicino.labcd.unipi.it/>> that I believe may be of interest to you. The Pelavicino Code is the liber iurium of the bishop of Luni, composed in the late XIII century, it contains copies of documents from the Xth onwards until at the end of the XIII. Nel fare l’edizione on line abbiamo, ovviamente, codificato la data di ogni documento. <docDate xml:id=”NumerazioneOriginale_docDate”> <date when=”anno-mese-giorno”> … </date> <placeName> … </placeName> </docDate> In doing the online edition we have encoded the date of each single document, in this way <DocDate xml: id = "NumberOriginal_docDate"> <Date when = "year-month-day"> ... </ date> <PlaceName> ... </ placeName> </ DocDate> Ci stiamo ora concetrando sui modi di creare l’indice cronologico dinamico e il sistema, per la data di redazione dei singoli documenti, non crea particolari problemi. Stiamo infatti pensando fare una lista eventi <listEvent> e di utilizzare il tag <event> con all’interno l’attributo <desc> in cui riporteremo una sorta di regesto ridotto. Il risultato dovrebbe essere una lista ordinata cronologicamente con accanto un breve riassunto del contenuto dell’atto. Il problema su cui vi disturbo sono le date interne, ossia quando troviamo dentro il documento riferimenti ad atti passati con tanto di data espressa Casi tipici: autentica datata in maniera esplicita autentica datata con elementi indiretti riferimento ad atto notarile precedente riferimento a missiva precedente We are now focusing on how to create a dynamic chronological index. Tha main content does not create any particular problems for the date of each document We are actually thinking to do an event list <listEvent> and use the <event> tag with the <desc> attribute where we will put a sort of summary (short regesto). The outcome should be a chronologically list next to a brief summary of the act. The problem we are concerned now is aboiut the internal dates, that is when we find in the document references to past acts Typical cases: Authentication, with the date explicited Authentication, with the date reconstructed Reference to a previous notarial act Reference to previous missive (letter) In questo caso pensiamo che la soluzione possa essere quella di un thesaurus / ontologia di atti. Quelli che per ora abbiamo evidenziato sono - conferma - giuramento - convenzione - autentica Mi chiedevo se a vostro avviso creare un’ontologia in italiano/inglese che risulti più leggibile all’utente (tipo la lista qui sopra) oppure utilizzare l’ontologia delle tipologie documentarie che si usava un tempo nell’edizione di carte (breve, cartula offersionis, cartula donationis, ecc.) sapendo tuttavia che in molti casi l’estrapolazione di questo dato risulterà una forzatura rispetto a quello che è effettivamente scritto nel testo. In this case we think that the solution can be creating a thesaurus / ontology of acts. What we have highlighted for now are - confirmation - oath - convention - authentication We wonder if in your opinion we have to create an ontology in Italian / English more readable to the user (such as the list above) or use the ontology of the documents used in past times in latin (breve, cartula offersionis, cartula donationis, etc.), however, knowing that in many cases the extrapolation of this issue its done by forcing the content. Ogni suggestione di lettura o suggerimento operativo sarà gradito. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Enrica Salvatori Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere Via P.

CfP: Per corpora… Medieval Latin and Corpora (IMC 2018)
by Krzysztof Nowak 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

International Medieval Congress, Leeds, 2-5 July 2018 Call for Papers: Per corpora…Medieval Latin and Corpora Session 1: What Corpus for Medieval Studies? Session 2: Vocabulary of Memory Organisation Bruno Bon (Dictionary of Medieval Latin, Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes, CNRS) Krzysztof Nowak (Dictionary of Medieval Latin, Institute of Polish Language, PAS) Building on the experience of the session organized during the IMC 2016 we are seeking to propose two sessions for the upcoming IMC 2018 that would focus on *building and using electronic corpora in Medieval Latin studies*. Our idea is to stimulate discussion and to integrate the community of both seasoned users and creators of digital tools, as well as those who are taking their first steps in the corpus-based research. We believe that the IMC offers a great opportunity for such discussion since the event gathers scholars of a wide range of expertise who can help us to understand better what tools do scholars need and what are the research questions they expect corpora to answer. The first sessionis intended to focus on more general questions of corpus creation, while the second, following closely the IMC 2018 topic ("Memory"), aims at showing how corpora can be practically used in Medieval Latin research. Proposals should be addressed by 15 September2017 to bruno.bon(a)irht.cnrs.fr <mailto:bruno.bon@irht.cnrs.fr>and krzysztof.nowak(a)ijp.pan.pl <mailto:krzysztof.nowak@ijp.pan.pl>. A detailed CfP can be found at: http://glossaria.eu/leeds/cfp_en.html *** Après une première expérience en 2016, nous souhaitons proposer deux sessions pour l’édition IMC 2018, sur *la construction et l’utilisation des corpus textuels électroniques dans les études médiévales*, en associant des utilisateurs et créateurs confirmés d’outils numériques à ceux qui font leurs premiers pas dans la recherche sur les corpus. L’IMC offre une belle occasion à ce genre de discussion, car l'événement rassemble des spécialistes de nombreuses disciplines, aptes à signaler les outils qui leur sont nécessaires, et à préciser les questions qu’ils posent à leurs corpus. La 1èresessiontraitera des questions générales sur la création de corpus textuels, pendant que la seconde, suivant le thème annuel de l’IMC ("Memory"), étudiera des cas d’utilisation pratique des corpus textuels dans la recherche en latin médiéval. La proposition doit être envoyée au plus tard le 15 septembre 2017conjointement à bruno.bon(a)irht.cnrs.fr <mailto:bruno.bon@irht.cnrs.fr>et krzysztof.nowak(a)ijp.pan.pl <mailto:krzysztof.nowak@ijp.pan.pl>.
