Dear all, Please excuse cross posting. For an article exploring pluralism and diversity within Digital Humanities, we are gathering data about digital humanists, their environment, and their work. We have designed a very brief survey (it should take less than five minutes to complete) and would like your help with it. If you can spare a few minutes to fill up the answers, this will contribute to our understanding of the field and of the people who work within it. The survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DHatWork Thank you for your support, Barbara Bordalejo Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities KU Leuven

οἶδα μὲν οἶδα σφαλμάτων πολλῶν γέμον <http://www.dbbe.ugent.be/occ/2101> www.dbbe.ugent.be/occ/2101 Dear colleagues and friends, We are delighted to announce the official launch of the Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams (DBBE), freely accessible at <http://www.dbbe.ugent.be> www.dbbe.ugent.be. Hosted by Ghent University, this database seeks to collect all book epigrams (or: metrical paratexts) found in Greek manuscripts up to 1500. You can search our corpus for a specific epigram or browse through it by a number of parameters such as date and type of manuscript. The information provided is based on catalogues, scholarly publications as well as our own consultation of manuscripts. We sincerely hope that DBBE will be of use for classicists and Byzantinists, literary scholars, linguists, palaeographers, art historians, and anyone generally interested in medieval manuscript culture. Please be aware that this is a beta release. We are constantly including new data and working hard to guarantee the accuracy of the information provided. Moreover, we are counting on your feedback in order to improve and expand our database. Comments, corrections as well as suggestions for the inclusion of new material will be warmly welcomed and duly acknowledged. We wish you an inspiring journey through the wondrous world of Byzantine book epigrams. For the whole DBBE team ( <http://www.dbbe.ugent.be/about> www.dbbe.ugent.be/about), Floris Bernard Marc De Groote Kristoffel Demoen Ilse De Vos Mark Janse Rachele Ricceri Dimitrios Skrekas Maria Tomadaki

Digital Editing Now: Registration is open
by Orietta Da Rold 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Dear Colleagues, Registration is now open for the 'Digital Editing Now’ conference, details below. Please circulate with colleagues and students. Best wishes, Orietta 7-9 January, 2016 Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) University of Cambridge For programme and booking, see: http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/26264 In recent years, there has been a significant shift in scholarly culture and funding strategies towards digital formats for edition projects. This is driven by the potential for new forms of production, presentation and access that the digital promises. And it involves a reassessment of the conventions that have determined editorial practice in the age of print. This conference gathers together leading figures in the field to exchange ideas about the state of digital editing, its future potential, challenges and limits. How should we place ourselves relative to fundamental issues of authority/openness, durability/fluidity? Can we establish a set of ideal types for digital editorial method, or would its optimal strengths rather lie in more hybrid forms, including a productive mode of cohabitation with the print formats that it appears to want to supersede? *********************************** Dr Orietta Da Rold University Lecturer in Literature and the Material Text: 1100 to 1500 Faculty of English 9 West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DP 01223 335089 Fellow of St John´s College Cambridge, CB2 1TP 01223 768181 od245(a)cam.ac.uk

small and large collections
by Matija Ogrin 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Dear Colleagues, Can you please give any example of a (small) digital collection of manuscript or printed primary sources which, 1) operates as an independent web-portal AND also 2) their data are in some way included/aggregated into some large collection or digital library? I am particularly interested in what happens as data pass from a "small" into a "large" digital resource? What kind of data are most suitable and frequent object of such aggregation in our area of digital humanities: only meta-data, or also msDesc, digital images, transcriptions? How "visible" is the original small collection after the aggregation? Etc. I hope this is not an off-topic question. Thank you for any advice, Matija -- Matija Ogrin, dr.
