Mahindra Humanities Center Seminar: Medieval Studies<https://mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/medieval-studies> Digital Annotation of Classical Texts and Effective Digitization: The Dickinson College Commentaries Project<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?t… Mon., Mar. 15, 5:30 p.m. BROWN UNIVERSITY (Zoom) The Classics Department graduate students cordially invite you to join us for the 11th Annual Grimshaw-Gudewicz Lecture, a lecture organized by the Classics Department graduate students. This year, Digital Annotation of Classical Texts and Effective Digitization: The Dickinson College Commentaries Project, will be presented by Christopher Francese from Dickinson College via Zoom. Classical studies sits on a gold mine of print reference works (lexica, commentaries, grammars, concordances), many of them in the public domain, that are the envy of other fields. The internet itself is, among other things, one gigantic reference work. People go to it in their billions every day to find information about the present and the past. Unfortunately, the information found there about the past is often partial, garbled, and not created by qualified scholars. The digitization of existing high-quality reference resources in classics and turning them into easily consulted digital resources is a massive opportunity which is neglected for various reasons by the contemporary academic world. But going from book to effective digital resource is no simple matter of transcription. This talk discusses techniques of and further opportunities for effective digitization as a way to make direct experience of classical texts more available to people around the world, in the context of the peer-reviewed commentary series Dickinson College Commentaries. events.brown.edu…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__e… [Digital Annotation of Classical Texts and Effective Digitization: The Dickinson College Commentaries Project] Hannelore Segers (Harvard University)<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calend… Wed., Mar. 17, 6 – 7 p.m. Zoom "Maronem mutatum in melius: The origins of Late Antique biblical poetry" Registration<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__forms.… required.
