2016 Schoenberg Symposium_Registration open!
by Ransom, Lynn 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

9th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 17-19, 2016 Reactions: Medieval/Modern 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 9th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's theme, "Reactions: Medieval/Modern," gives us space to explore the many and varied ways that people have reacted to, and acted upon, manuscripts from the Middle Ages up to today. Reactions take many forms. They include the manipulation of physical objects through, for example, the marking up of texts, addition of illustrations, the disbinding of books or rebinding of fragments, as well as the manipulation of digital objects, thanks to new technologies involved in digitization, ink and parchment analysis, virtual reconstruction, among many other processes. This symposium will also tackle how popular culture has reacted to manuscripts over time as witnessed by their use and appearance in books, games, films, and tattoo art. Our keynote speaker will be Michelle P. Brown, Professor emerita of Medieval Manuscript Studies at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, and former Curator of Manuscripts at the British Library.

CFP: Technical Communication in the Middle Ages
by M. Wendy Hennequin 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

CFP: Technical Communication in the Middle Ages International Congress on Medieval Studies (Kalamazoo, 2017) Proposals due: September 15, 2016 Submit to Wendy Hennequin (mwhennequin(a)gmail.com) Scholars have long recognized Chaucer’s “Treatise on the Astrolabe” as an early technical document, yet relatively few medieval texts have been discussed as specimens of technical communication. This session seeks to consider the traditions and conventions of medieval technical communication, as well as the connections between medieval and contemporary technical writing. Possible texts for consideration might include (but are not limited to) penitential and conduct manuals, monastic rules, business correspondence, medical treatises, scientific and pseudo-scientific manuals (including alchemical and astrological ones), cookery books, law codes, and government and military documents. Papers should consider the texts as technical communication, but may focus on any aspect, including writing, layout, design, etc. Please submit proposals to Wendy Hennequin (mwhennequin(a)gmail.com) by September 15, 2016. With apologies for cross-posting. -- Dr. M. Wendy Hennequin Department of Languages, Literature, and Philosophy Tennessee State University 3500 John A Merritt Blvd. Nashville, TN 37209 MWHennequin(a)gmail.com

Dear all, The Models of Authority team are delighted to announce that the sixth DigiPal Symposium will take place at King's College London on Monday 5th September 2016. Topics covered will include digital connoisseurship and strategies for curation; building apps for medieval manuscripts; a new device to use x-ray technology to search for medieval fragments in bookbindings; tools for text-allignment; strategies for outreach when teaching medieval history; visualisations to identify the textual transmission of medieval works; and sustainability in research which uses digital methods. And in case that isn't enough, there'll be tales of digitisation; breaking news on the latest plans to extend the DigiPal framework; and a glimpse of a new tool for plotting a timeline for Scottish charters (or indeed things neither Scottish, nor a charter).

Dear list members, I'm trying to get some data on the actual usage of the three possible TEI methods for the encoding of textual variance. If you are encoding or if you have encoded at least one critical edition using the Critical Apparatus module of the TEI, I would be most grateful if you could participate in this very short online survey (less than 3 minutes): https://goo.gl/forms/ns4fMpNipKOEXWss1 Best regards and apologies for cross-posting, Marjorie
