This afternoon's Digital Classicist seminar has been cancelled due to a
family illness. We hope to reschedule this event some time, at least on
YouTube if not in the ICS, and will announce when we are able. Please
accept our apologies for this.
Next week's seminar will proceed as planned.

*Re-Imagining Nineteenth Century Nile Travel and Excavation for a
Digital Age: the Emma B. Andrews Diary Project*
Sarah Ketchley (University of Washington)
Between 1889 and 1914, Mrs. Emma B. Andrews traveled the Nile with
millionaire lawyer turned archaeologist, Theodore M. Davis, and was
present when he discovered 18 of the 42 tombs now known in the Valley of
the Kings. Her as yet unpublished diaries are a significant resource for
the history of archaeology and Egyptology during this period. This paper
will discuss the development of an extensive historical and biographical
database based both on Emma’s record and related archival material, and
the subsequent development of data visualizations of contemporary social
networks and interactive digital maps recreating Davis’s excavations and
archaeological finds.

Dear all,
Within the HIMANIS project, funded by the Joint Programming Initiative on
Cultural Heritage and Global Change” (JPI-CH) of the European Union, the
partners are developing cost-effective solutions for querying large sets of
handwritten document images. With IRHT and A2iA (France), the Universities
of Valencia (Spain) and Groningen (Netherlands) as well as the French
National Archive, it gathers Computer Science, Humanities and Cultural
Heritage institutions in order to produce technology to generate new,
research-based knowledge from historical manuscripts. As a challenging and
particularly interesting case study, we have indexed the large collection
of the Trésor des Chartes’ registers produced by the French royal chancery
(Paris, Archives Nationales, JJ7 – JJ209).
*Now we are proud to announce that you can search the plain text in the
Trésor des Chartes’ registers and provide feedback
<http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/himanis/>: It is ready to be used and tested
by all interested users worldwide!*
http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/himanis/
<http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/himanis/>
This is a prototype and beta version, which will be amended and will change
over the next months, with new functionalities (navigate through hits,
display of abstracts and editions) and with additional volumes to be
indexed from the French National Library and the National Archive..
The project website is: http://www.himanis.org/
The search interface into the corpus: http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/
himanis/ <http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/himanis/>
Additional explanations about the interface: https://himanis.hypotheses.
org/105 <https://himanis.hypotheses.org/105>
You can search with boolean operators and word sequences (for the syntax,
check on https://himanis.hypotheses. org/105
<https://himanis.hypotheses.org/105>)
You can help us measuring the precision of our results:
- please click on highlighted hits to confirm whether the word is correctly
spotted or not;
- please double click on a missed hit if you see it on the page (it will be
added to the index for all users to search from the next day)
Two simple examples as a beginning:
- "scriptor" within the whole corpus: http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/
himanis/index.php?q=scriptor& t=10&feedback=1
<http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/himanis/index.php?q=scriptor&t=10&feedback=1>
- "pelerinage" on one page : http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/
himanis/index.php/ui/show/ chancery/147/853?q=pelerinage& t=50&feedback=1
<http://prhlt-kws.prhlt.upv.es/himanis/index.php/ui/show/chancery/147/853?q=…>
The complete indexing results from an automated, image analysis process.
You may find unexpected or false hits: for example, abbreviations are
expanded automatically and it is needless to say that they are error-prone;
likewise place and person names are slightly less well spotted. You can
enhance the hit list by setting the "confidence" rate (between 0 and 100).
We hope that you will be as thrilled as we are to present these results and
we invite you to test, give feedback and send further comments, critics and
suggestions to himanis(a)irht.cnrs.fr!
Best regards
Dominique Stutzmann

*Collation Visualization*
*Helping Users to Explore Collated Manuscripts*
Elisa Nury (King’s College London)
The comparison of manuscripts and recording of variant readings is an
essential, but challenging task towards the preparation of a scholarly
edition. A large amount of detailed data is collected during collation, and
needs to be analysed and visualized. In the recent years, the use of
digital format has been increasingly incorporated within the collation
workflow: from writing down variants in Word or Excel documents to adopting
complex automated collation tools such as CollateX. This presentation will
focus on a method to help scholars and readers visualize collation results
of a Latin text in a digital format.
Seminar will be livecast at: https://youtu.be/1YB_mFJ9SlQ

Two short presentations:
1) *The role of Digital Humanities in Papyrology: Practices and user
needs in papyrological research*
Lucia Vannini (Institute of Classical Studies)
The development of digital tools and methods has led to significant
changes to traditional research in the Humanities, affecting scholars’
ways of organising and analysing information. Also, the wish to support
researchers’ new needs has consequently grown: examinations of their
practices have been conducted in order to build efficient and usable
resources. This presentation focuses on the information I have gathered,
through interviews and user observations, on the behaviour of
papyrologists in the digital age: on their practices involved in
searching digital collections, in the use and management of their data,
and in the creation of new knowledge.
http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-05lv.html
————————————————————————————————————
2) *Cultural Contact in Early Roman Spain through Linked Open Data
resources*
Paula Granados García (Open University)
Although the Romanisation debate seems to be settled in English-language
scholarship, other countries, such as Spain, have only just started to
revise traditional discourses. During the 1900s, Spanish studies on
Romanisation focused mainly on documentation of the immense amount of
evidence from the Imperial perspective. This work is being re-examined
through new methodologies and perspectives. Novel initiatives are
emerging that aim to look at this cultural encounter from the eyes of
the colonised. My research explores the possibilities offered by Linked
Open Data and the Semantic Web to connect, share and make available
large amounts of data regarding the question of cultural interaction.

Dear colleagues,
We are glad to announce the opening of a new MA in Digital and Computational Humanities at Paris Sciences & Lettres Research University.
This degree is research-oriented. It is for students from the Humanities or Social Sciences wanting to develop their skills in computational methods (programming, quantitative methods, modeling, artificial intelligence) and in their respective fields. It is open to a variety of subjects, ranging from History or Anthropology, to Philology, Linguistics or Literature, in ancient and modern languages (not only European). It associates the École des chartes, École pratique des hautes études, École normale supérieure and École des hautes études en sciences sociales.
Medieval scholarship is well represented in these four institutions, and we would be very glad to receive applications from students wanting to work in any area of Medieval Studies.
The deadline for next year is close (3 July 2017), but, if someone wishing to apply is afraid of lacking time to make the deadline, he or she can write to me in advance.
The English prospectus can be found at: http://www.enc-sorbonne.fr/sites/default/files/atoms/files/flyer-master-hum…
More information is available on our website:
