Dear members of DM-L it has been brought to my attention, through an internal investigation, that the overlap between the members of our official Mailing list and our facebook community is minimal. This was quite a surprising result. Both (de facto) communities are very active, and we wish to embrace, and to interact with, both communities as much as possible. If you do use Facebook, you may be interested in following our facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/49320313760/ You can also follow us on twitter (@digitalmedieval) and at https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/ Thank you for being such an active community!

Save the Date - Global Digital Humanities Symposium, April 8-9, 2016 @ Michigan State University
by Kristen Mapes 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Save the Date! *Global Digital Humanities Symposium* *April 8-9, 2016* Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan http://msuglobaldh.org/ Free and open to the public. Registration will open in February and is required. Featured speakers include: - Dorothy Kim - Alex Gil - Radhika Gajjala - Hoyt Long Digital humanities has developed in a range of disciplines and locations across the globe. Initially emergent from initiatives in textual encoding, database building, or critiques of design and media cultures, the field is increasingly drawn together. Present scholarship works at the intersections of what had been disparate approaches. Much digital humanities scholarship is driven by an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of histories, as well as present geographical and cultural positions. Projects that seek to bring grant resources from the West are often met with well-developed and challenging critiques emergent around the globe from communities deeply engaged in their own cultural preservation, as well as in building relationships with other similarly engaged scholars. This symposium, which will include an extended workshop and a mixture of presentation types, engages squarely with issues of power, access, and equity as they affect scholarship in the digital humanities. Invited speakers and local presenters at this two-day symposium will address how the interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities can and should speak to the global cultural record and the contemporary situation of our planet. Of particular interest is work relevant to or stemming from challenges in the Global South. The symposium seeks to strengthen networks of exchange among DH scholars nationally and internationally. Themes and topics of this symposium will include: - the practice of digital humanities across linguistic, economic, and technological divides - digital humanities in the light of current geopolitics - the environmental impacts of digital humanities research - the inflection of local accents in the practices and ethics of digital humanities Find out more about the symposium at http://msuglobaldh.org/about/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Specialist College of Arts and Letters Michigan State University 718-216-5695 kristenmapes.com kmapes(a)msu.edu kmapes86(a)gmail.com

Beyond Words: Illuminated Manuscripts from Boston Collections
by Lisa Fagin Davis 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Upcoming exhibit: *BEYOND WORDS: ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPTS FROM BOSTON COLLECTIONS* *CHURCH & CLOISTER (Houghton Library: Sept. 12 – Dec. 10, 2016)* *PLEASURE & PIETY (McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College: Sept. 12 – Dec. 11, 2016)* *ITALIAN RENAISSANCE BOOKS (Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: Sept. 22, 2016 – Jan. 16, 2017)* An *international conference* linked to the exhibition with one day at each of the three venues will take place on Nov. 3–5, 2016. The collections in the Boston area constitute one of the most important ensembles of illuminated manuscript material anywhere in North America, yet they remain, in large measure, virtually unknown to scholars and the wider public alike. Conceived by Jeffrey F. Hamburger, Kuno Francke Professor of German Art & Culture at Harvard, in 2000, his first year at the university, the exhibition could not have been prepared and organized without the collaboration of a team of local manuscript experts with whom he searched the stacks and stores of libraries and museums on both sides of the Charles River for buried treasures of illumination. ** *Beyond Words* will be the first exhibition to showcase highlights of medieval and Renaissance illumination in the Boston area. It follows in the footsteps of other exhibitions which have vaunted the holdings of public collections in American and British cities, such as *Leaves of Gold: Treasures of Manuscript Illumination from Philadelphia Collections *(2001-2002)**and* Cambridge Illuminations *(2005). *Beyond Words*, however, is a far more ambitious collaborative metropolitan project, in terms of the size of its curatorial team, number of exhibits and lending institutions, and multi-venue display: The exhibition will be curated by a team of five manuscripts scholars with complementary expertise in the holdings and history of collections of manuscripts and early printed books in the Boston area: in addition to Jeffrey F. Hamburger, his Harvard colleague Dr. William P. Stoneman, Curator of Early Books and Manuscripts of the University’s Houghton Library, as well as Nancy Netzer, Professor of Art History and Director of the McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College; Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis, Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America and co-author of the Directory of Collections in the United States and Canada with Pre- 1600 Manuscript Holdings, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, (2015), an update to Seymour De Ricci’s Census; and Dr. Anne- Marie Eze, formerly Associate Curator of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the first scholar to comprehensively study the museum’s rare books collection since the 1930s. 260 outstanding manuscripts and printed books dating from the ninth to seventeenth centuries have been carefully selected from Boston-area repositories. These include numerous masterpieces by well-known artists, such as Lippo Vanni, Benedetto Bordon, Jean Poyer, Jean Bourdichon, Simon Bening, and the Boucicaut and Rohan masters, as well as many others no less notable for being anonymous. Identifiable patrons include such renowned figures as Charles V of France, Jean, duc de Berry, Pope Sixtus IV, Borso d’Este, and Isabella d’Este among many others. These precious volumes will be loaned by eighteen local institutions are: The Armenian Museum and Library of America; The Boston Athenaeum; Burns Library, Boston College; School of Theology Library, Boston College; Boston University; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Boston Public Library, Brandeis University, Harvard University Law School; the Countway Library, Harvard Medical School; the Houghton Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Harvard University; the Harvard Divinity School—Andover- Harvard Theological Library of the Harvard University Divinity School; the Baker Library, Harvard Business School; the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Northeastern University; Tufts University, and Wellesley College. As well as lending manuscripts, these institutions are also contributing the time and expertise of their in-house conservators and photographers, whose are working hard to prepare for display and digitize the manuscripts, many of which have never been exhibited to the public or previously reproduced. *Beyond Words* will be exhibited at three venues on both sides of the Charles River: Harvard University’s Houghton Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Boston College’s McMullen Museum of Art, where it will be the inaugural exhibition in the museum’s new building, a renovation of the neo-Renaissance palazzo built as a residence for Boston's archbishop by the architectural firm Maginnis and Walsh in 1927, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Each venue will highlight one of the three principal contexts for the production of books in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and related developments in design, script and decoration. The volumes will be presented to the public as the idealized libraries of three readers—the monk at the Houghton, lay person at Boston College and humanist prince at the Gardner Museum—to vividly bring to life books produced for the communal use of religious institutions; collections that served the educational, professional, and spiritual needs of individuals; and the magnificent libraries that proclaimed the power and cultivation of Renaissance rulers. The exhibition will be accompanied by a single scholarly catalogue with essays and entries written by an international cohort of around eighty- five American and European scholars, including François Avril, Susan L’Engle, James Marrow, Scot Mckendrick, Lillian Armstrong, Federica Toniolo and Maria Thiesen. It will be edited by *Beyond Words’s* curatorial team and published by Boston College. The exhibition is supported by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities as well as by private donors.
