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,
--
