Dear DM community,

I am very glad to let you know that we at the Innovating Knowledge project (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) just released a digital edition of the glosses to the first book of the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville.

This digital edition makes use of network visualizations to display the relationships between the manuscript witnesses, to map these relationships against the geographical background, and to showcase how the glosses are distributed across the text. All in all, the edition contains approximately 4,280 glosses as found in more than 50 early medieval manuscripts, including vernacular, Tironian and dry-point glosses.

You can find the edition at: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/edition

Together with the edition, we are also publishing the raw data behind the edition in a hope that they can be further reused by other projects. The TEI-XML file, the XML schema, and the software code of the edition are also published today in a dedicated GitHub repository.

I am also very glad that the data from the edition was also published on our partner project, the GlossEngine.

I hope that many of you will find this edition useful and inspiring. 

Best wishes,

Evina
