CFP _ Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts Sponsored Session at 52st International Congress on Medieval Studies
by Ransom, Lynn 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '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.

Digital Classicist Seminar: Annotating and resolving geographical names in historical sources

Digital Classicist London 2016 Seminar Institute of Classical Studies Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU Friday July 8th at 16:30 in room 234 *Chiara Palladino (Leipzig & Bari)* *Annotating and resolving geographical names in historical sources* This seminar will focus on ancient Greek and Roman texts containing geographical information referred to real-world space. These sources challenge our perspective on way-finding and navigation, as the way they interpreted and expressed space was substantially different from ours. We will inspect currently existing strategies for the representation geospatial documents in the digital environment, focusing on the topics of Named Entity Recognition, semi-automatic and geo- annotation. We will highlight existing problems in the encoding of geospatial patterns in ancient geographical descriptions, focusing on what is currently available and what can be done to improve this research.

Seminar: Rethinking 3D visualisation (Friday July 1)
by Gabriel BODARD 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Digital Classicist London 2016 Seminar Institute of Classical Studies Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU Friday July 1st at 16:30 in room 234 *Valeria Vitale (KCL)* *Rethinking 3D visualisation: from illustration to research tool* The use of 3D visualisation is becoming increasingly popular in the study of the Ancient World. However, 3D images are often merely used as eye-catching illustrations, their value reduced to aesthetic pleasantness or technological lure. This seminar will start by showing, through examples and case studies, the importance of spatial information (such as location, dimension, geometry) in the understanding of ancient places and artefacts. Then, it will discusses how 3D visualisation can be used as a powerful tool to represent and investigate this kind of information, enhancing—and sometimes challenging—our approaches to tangible and intangible ancient cultural heritage. Recommended readings at: <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2016-05vv.html> The seminar will also be screencast on YouTube at: <https://youtu.be/w0f_a3Dk-wo> ALL WELCOME -- 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/
