IllUrk - Illuminierte Urkunden: Events and News
by Georg Vogeler 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

*) International Conference, Vienna, HHStA, 1214 September 2016 *) <http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection> http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection: release of first results 1) International Conference, 1214 September 2016 Illuminated Charters from the Margins of Two Disciplines to the Core of Digital Humanities Conference venue: Vienna, Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, Minoritenplatz 1, Dachfoyer Archivists, art historians, medievalists, digital humanists, friends of pattern recognition, media studies, and of objects hidden for centuries: all these (and many more) are the target audience of our meeting. We proudly present speakers from Tampa (Florida), England, France and Italy as well as Estonia and Georgia. We are honoured that Olivier Guyotjeannin (Paris), Elizabeth Danbury (London), Alison Stones (Pittsburgh: Public Lecture, 12 September, 7pm), Irmgard Fees (Munich) and Francesca Manzari (Rome) have accepted our invitation to present papers (programme and abstracts: http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at/de/tagung-12-1492016 <http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at/de/tagung-12-1492016/> ). Much more important, though, is the quality and variety of topics: discussions about data-modelling, best-practice examples of combined presentations of image and metadata are highlights of the digital part. Surveys of regional characteristics (England, Lombardy, Venice, Rome, Latvia and Lithuania, Georgia) and in depth-studies of single objects are very intentionally combined as necessary methodological contrast. Studies focusing on archival holdings in specific regions lead to papers dealing with chanceries and special types of charters, which are regularly decorated with artistic means. These means range from graphic signs developing in private charters in St Gall during the 8th century to signs characteristic of specific types of charters and highly refined artefacts made for famous late medieval collectors, and finally to (printed) charters which are equally perfect advertising media. The organizing team (Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler, Andreas Zajic) is pleased to invite you to this conference. Due to the limited space available at the Dachfoyer of the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, we kindly ask you to register in time: <https://goo.gl/forms/RkWlbVKwaxpUwcz52>https://goo.gl/forms/RkWlbVKwaxpUwcz52 or send a mail to <mailto:illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com> illuminierteurkunden(a)gmail.com. 2) Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler and Andreas Zajic have decided after a peer-reviewing-process and internal discussions to publish first results of the FWF project Illuminated Charters as ´Gesamtkunstwerk´. <http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection> http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection 678 illuminated collective indulgences are freely accessible for everyone. We are well aware that we can only present work in progress. This is true for the digital part as well as for the content. Part of the indexing work has still to be implemented into the search environment and depth of information varies significantly. Partly this is a deliberate decision, because it does not make sense to offer extensive abstracts for poorly decorated objects which are only of importance due to their character as forerunners to later, more extensively illuminated indulgences. On the other hand there are charters which deserve more in-depth treatment, but parts of the description ([extensive] abstract, diplomatic comment, description of decoration and art-historical commentary) are still lacking. We hope, however, that users are willing to accept such shortcomings in order to get access more quickly. We want to encourage each and every user to give us feedback ( <mailto:illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com> illuminierteurkunden(a)gmail.com) such as additions, corrections (including typos), hints to additional sources, images or reference literature; do not hesitate to point out amendments no matter how small.

CFP _ Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts Sponsored Session at 52st International Congress on Medieval Studies
by Ransom, Lynn 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Call for Papers Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts Sponsored Session at the 52st International Congress on Medieval Studies Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, May 11-14, 2017 We seek proposals for the following session: Networks of Transmission: Histories and Practices of Collecting Medieval Manuscripts and Documents This session will focus on the mapping of those networks of sale and purchase through which medieval manuscripts have been pursued and on the collectors and collecting that have catalyzed this transmission across the centuries. This session - like The Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts itself - is rooted in the belief that studying manuscripts' provenance can have dynamic and profound effects not only on our understanding of these medieval materials as objects to be bought and sold but also on their texts through mapping their circulation and reception. We particularly welcome proposals that explore diverse topics from the role of digital technologies such as the SDBM in conducting provenance research, the relationship between institutional and private ownership of manuscripts, specific case studies of collecting practices, the transatlantic travels of medieval materials, collectors' roles in the dispersal of libraries and the fragmentation of manuscripts, collectors and manuscript preservation, and how a manuscript's provenance history can affect its value and collectability on the rare books market, to how collectors and the act of collecting can shape and influence interpretations of manuscript evidence. Please send proposals with a one-page abstract and Participant Information Form (www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html<http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html>) to Lynn Ransom (lransom(a)upenn.edu<mailto:lransom@upenn.edu> ) by September 1, 2016.

Survey: British Library digitised Hebrew manuscripts
by Keinan-Schoonbaert, Adi 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Dear all, I would like to invite you to participate in a survey to find out if and how the British Library can improve access to digitised Hebrew manuscripts and content about its digitised collection, and whether it can be of assistance with digital research using the collection. The Hebrew Manuscripts Digitisation Project<http://www.bl.uk/hebrew-manuscripts> has been digitising items from the British Library's significant collection of Hebrew hand-written books, charters and scrolls, in order to make them available online. It should not take more than 5-10 minutes to complete the survey. https://goo.gl/forms/aJDdxkCaISuJjLkF3 The survey will close on Tuesday 16 August. Thank you in advance for any response you can give. Apologies for cross-posting.

Survey: Medievalists' Use of Digital Resources (especially editions)
by Dot Porter 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

[Apologies for cross-posting] Greetings everyone. In preparation for a keynote I'm presenting at the "Digital Scholarly Editions as Interface" symposium in Graz this September on medievalists' use of digital editions ( https://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/en/events/digital-scholarly-ed…) I'm revisiting work undertaken in 2002[1] and 2011[2] with yet another survey on medievalists' use of digital resources, focused on digital editions but asking about other resources as well. It has 12 questions plus a demographics section, and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete (if you have a lot to say it could take longer). https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medievalists_and_digital_resources If you identify as a medievalist - broadly defined - at any level (faculty, student, librarian, independent scholar) please fill in this survey and pass it along to your colleagues, particularly those who are not on social media or listservs. And if you don't use digital editions at all I DO want to hear from you! The survey will be available until mid-August. Thank you so much for your time.

Conference Announcement: What should be in your Digital Toolbox?
by Seaward, Louise 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

*With apologies for cross-posting* Conference Announcement: What should be in your Digital Toolbox? The Linnean Society<https://www.linnean.org/> of London, in collaboration with the Transcribe Bentham <http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/transcribe-bentham/> initiative at University College London (UCL), is hosting a one-day conference on 10 October 2016 to showcase how innovative technology is being applied to the humanities and natural sciences. The "Digital Toolbox" conference will demonstrate how researchers, curators and enthusiasts can use digital tools to explore historical and scientific material in new ways. An example is the EU-funded READ<http://read.transkribus.eu/> project, which seeks to unlock complex handwritten material in archival collections, to automatically index digital images of text, and to teach computers how to transcribe handwritten text. Cutting-edge transcription technology developed as part of the READ project will be demonstrated and discussed. The conference will be a platform to share ideas on the best means of exploiting complex research data and opening it up to a wider audience. We are delighted to welcome Melissa Terras, Professor of Digital Humanities at UCL as keynote speaker. More details on the full programme will be available soon. There will be a small registration fee of £15 for the event. This will cover tea/coffee, lunch and a wine reception. Please find the registration form here: https://www.linnean.org/meetings-and-events/events/what-should-be-in-your-d… -------------------------------------------------- Dr. Louise Seaward Research Associate Bentham Project, Faculty of Laws, University College London, Bidborough House, 38-50 Bidborough Street, London, WC1H 9BT Email: louise.seaward(a)ucl.ac.uk<mailto:louise.seaward@ucl.ac.uk> Tel: 020 3108 8397 Web: Transcribe Bentham<http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/transcribe-bentham/>; Recognition and Enrichment of Archival Documents (READ<http://read.transkribus.eu/>)

Digital Cappelli on Ad fontes
by Tobias Hodel 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting), On «Ad fontes», an e-learning platform provided by the University of Zurich, all abbreviations from the «Cappelli» have been digitised and are now fully searchable. In October 2015, the University of Zurich hosted the Cappelli-Hackathon, a very successful crowd sourcing project, during which all 14'357 abbreviations collected in Adriano Cappellis' «Lexicon abbreviaturarum» were digitally registered and systematised through a specifically for the task designed web interface. Since then, the registered abbreviations have been checked and – where necessary – corrected through expert validation. They are as of now freely available, either as part of the Ad fontes platform (Cappelli online) or through the new app, App fontes. The search interface not only allows to search by the readable letters, with the possiblity to set wildcards for non-identifiable characters, but also to search by visual criteria. Through the use of a 3x3 grid, the abbreviations have been systematised by the placement of abbreviation marks and other visual features; user may now use this grid in the search interface to help them find results. Thus, the project allows a better and easier way to access the «Cappelli», an invaluable tool for everyone working with handwritten sources. Since «Ad fontes» offers also a link to the digitised original page, it is even possible to cite from the «Lexicon abbreviaturarum» using the project. P.S.: The data as well as the pictures can be downloaded (http://www.adfontes.uzh.ch/5232.php) ------ Tobias Hodel, lic. phil.
