Dear list members,
I am very pleased to announce a new ressource for the teaching and learning of palaeography in its practical aspect, i.e. the transcription of mediaeval handwriting: the /Album interactif de paléographie médiévale / Interactive Album of Mediaeval Palaeography/,
http://ciham.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/paleographie/index.php?l=en
This /Album/ is a collection of interactive exercises for the transcription of mediaeval manuscripts, from the Early to Late Middle Ages. At the time of opening, it offers a total of 27 exercises (22 in Mediaeval Latin, 5 in Old French). The exercises are self-corrective (you can check the user manual here: http://ciham.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/paleographie/aide_en.php). Nota: The interface of the Album is available in French and English. Only the introduction to each exercise is available only in its original language (French).
The /Album /is proposed by the transversal programme /Digital Humanities/ of the UMR 5648 - /Histoire, Archéologie, Littératures des Mondes Chrétiens et Musulmans Médiévaux/ (Universités Lyon 2, Lyon 3, Avignon et Pays de Vaucluse; CNRS, EHESS, ENS Lyon). This project is "powered by TEI" and proudly sporting the TEI badge on the exercise pages :) Some technical details here: http://ciham.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/paleographie/techinfo.php?l=en
Your feedback, suggestions and comments will me much appreciated, as always! Best wishes,
