Digital Classicist/Institute of Classical Studies Seminar STB3/6 (Stewart House), Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU

Friday June 5th at 16:30

*Bart Van Beek (Leuven)* *Onomastics and Entity-Recognition in Graeco-Egyptian Papyri*

Several research projects at the University of Leuven currently draw on the interdisciplinary platform ‘Trismegistos’ (www.trismegistos.org), which collects metadata about Greek, Latin, Egyptian and other ancient texts. For Greek papyri, we use the XML-encoded full-text corpus of the Duke Database of Documentary Papyri as a basis for data input and analysis.

ALL WELCOME

The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
