Printing and binding: CPI books GmbH, Leck ♾ Printed on acid-free paper Printed in Germany www.degruyter.com Acknowledgments I owe my first acquaintance with Digital Papyrology to Professor Isabella Andorlini, who admittedly has been a pioneer in the systematic application of electronic re- sources to papyrological scholarship, from the effective use of textual databases to virtual restoration of fragmentary documents1, up to the digitization of the Greek medical papyri2. I still remember her passion in describing functionalities and ad- vantages of the digital tools, and her skilfulness in using them. My previous inter- ests in information technologies did the rest3. I would like to dedicate this work to Her, in memory of all this. My grateful thoughts then go to Fabian Reiter, who allowed me to hold a class of Digital Papyrology at the University of Trier during the Winter Semester 2016/17, which gave me really many useful and interesting suggestions about the topics discussed here. He also supported this publication, for which I wish to thank also Mirko Vonderstein and my other contact people at De Gruyter (Katrin Hofmann, Florian Ruppenstein), who have been so kind, patient and efficient in following all the publishing steps. I am grateful also to the students who actively took part into the Trier seminar (Julius Bergau, Spyridoula Bounta, Pia Geißel, Sara Marmai) for all the fruitful discussions we had together. I would like to mention also the Digital Papyrology seminars conducted by Rod- ney Ast, James Cowey and Lajos Berkes at the Institute of Papyrology of the Heidel- berg University directed by Prof. Andrea Jördens, the attendance of which has prov- en helpful for improving my experience in this rising field, as well as my participation in the digital classes of the “SunoikisisDC” programme (Leipzig Uni- versity), coordinated by Monica Berti. I also thank my colleagues and friends Davide Astori, Francesca Bertonazzi and Isabella Bonati, with whom I shared several phas- es of my research. I wish this thank-list were longer, because I would have loved to discuss all the topics and resources with more people. Unfortunately, unpredictable tragic circum- stances slightly affected the conclusion of the ERC DIGMEDTEXT project, from || The present volume is published in the framework of the Project “Online Humanities Scholarship: A Digital Medical Library Based on Ancient Texts” (DIGMEDTEXT, Principal Investigator Professor Isabella Andorlini), funded by the European Research Council (Advanced Grant no. 339828) at the University of Parma (see below, Appendix 2). 1 Cf. ANDORLINI 2008; ANDORLINI – REGGIANI 2012. 2 Cf.

I hope that my benevolent readers will take what follows for what it is – a preliminary survey and a tentative theoretical, methodological, and epistemological arrangement of a rising and ever-changing subject, probably presented in too an Italianized English, for which I express all my sorrowful apologies – and will kindly agree to send me back advice, suggestions, remarks, criticism, so that a sharper manual can be envisaged in the near future of Digital Papyrology4. The present work is not exactly a handbook – most of the digital tools do al- ready offer detailed instructions and help guides, to which I gladly refer –, nor just a list of tools. Recent detailed surveys of the digital papyrological scenario already exist5 and they do not deserve to be updated or replaced. My aim is to analyse the electronic papyrological resources in details in order to pinpoint common trends, to sketch methodological outlines and to envisage an epistemology of Digital Papyrol- ogy, in view of the possible future developments6.

RUFFING 2000 and CAPASSO 2005, 227–35 are slightly outdated but are nice snapshots of past situations. 6 I must also anticipate that I will deal mostly with Greek and Latin Papyrology. Demotic will not be forgotten, since it constitutes a fundamental linguistic and cultural source for Graeco-Roman Egypt. Conversely, egyptological digital resources, though very promising and Egypt-related as well, will not be taken into consideration; for a recent survey of them, see WOUTER – VAN KEER 2014.

Thompson1 Being a set of (electronic) ways of treating human information and knowledge, Digi- tal Humanities can be considered as the direct heir of those cognitive ‘technologies’ that have been analysed – in relation with men’s knowledge and memory – in Joce- lyn P. Small’s monograph2 titled after the phrase with which the ancient Greeks metaphorically used to call memory, i.e. “tablets of the mind”, φρενῶν δέλτοι3. Small’s essay shows that the problem of the relationship between creating infor- mation material (‘data’) and the ways of accessing it is definitely ancient, and that the transition from human ‘memory’ – the very first tool for storing and retrieving information! – to artificial intelligence is just a technological and chronological swerve, not a conceptual one – after all, it is not by chance if we still speak of elec- tronic memory devices. || 1 THOMPSON 2007, 37. 2 SMALL 1997 (cf. the review by THOMAS 2000). 3 Aeschyl.

  • Sermon, November 1, 2020 Good Morning! Welcome to Stay-At-Home Worship from St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Oakland, Maryland
    Sermon, November 1, 2020 Good morning! Welcome to Stay-At-Home worship from St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Oakland, Maryland. I am Pastor Scott Robinson, and today we welcome Alice Fleischman and Mike Broderick from the musical group Aurora Celtic, who are providing Special Music for our worship. We are still waiting for a safe time to resume regular public worship. Pandemic cases, COVID hospitalizations and deaths are again rising. Both the CDC and our own ELCA say people who are at high risk for serious illness from Coronavirus should NOT attend indoor worship services in person, and those who regularly spend time with families or friends in high risk groups shouldn’t either. We do not want to endanger anyone unnecessarily. Which is why we are here, worshiping together even though safely apart. If you have friends or family members who do not have internet service, you can easily record this service on your laptop and sit down and share it with them. I would be glad to show you how. Meanwhile, if you want to help St. Mark’s pay its bills and keep its mission and benevolence commitments during these difficult times, there is a secure Donate button on the church’s website, which is stmarksoakland.com (no spaces or caps) Our annual congregational meeting will be held in two weeks, on Sunday November 15th at noon. Approving the 2021 budget is the only agenda item. It is a virtual meeting and you have been sent a zoom invitation. Please download the Zoom software ahead of time, if you haven’t already.

  • Learning to Implement the TEI Guidelines Through Digital Classics Publication Stella Dee*, Maryam Foradi† and Filip Šarić† *Tufts University, †University of Leipzig
    CHAPTER 1 Learning by Doing: Learning to Implement the TEI Guidelines Through Digital Classics Publication Stella Dee*, Maryam Foradi† and Filip Šarić† *Tufts University, †University of Leipzig Abstract This chapter reviews the current online resources available to learn the TEI Guidelines for structured data in the humanities, as well as the theory that drives their construction and continued improvement. It focuses on the Epi- Doc community as a positive example of a specialist community of practi- tioners who take a flexible approach to TEI instruction that meets both the shared and individual needs of scholars (cf. Bodard and Stoyanova, q.v.). We also address some of the barriers to multilingual contribution to the online digital Classics, and report on a case study in which we discuss the experi- ence of Masters-level students trained in non-digital Classics methods with the translation and transcription of texts via the Perseids platform (cf. Almas and Beaulieu, q.v.). We consider how templates revealing the TEI markup allow students to gain comfort and familiarity with the XML, as well as to enable their own work to serve as a model for future contributors. However, we also note the pedagogical limitations of contribution without direct instruction as seen in this case study, and posit that a mixed model of experiential education combined with interpersonal guidance might better serve students hoping to contribute machine-actionable data in the digital Classics.

TLT addresses all aspects of treebank design, development, and use, "treebank" taken in a broad sense of any spoken or written data augmented with computationally processable annotations of linguistic structure at various levels. This year’s edition is special as TLT is part of the first SyntaxFest, a grouping of four events, which took place in Paris, France, during the last week of August: the Fifth International Conference on Dependency Linguistics (Depling 2019) • the First Workshop on Quantitative Syntax (Quasy) • the 18th International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT 2019) • the Third Workshop on Universal Dependencies (UDW 2019) • The use of corpora for NLP and linguistics has only increased in recent years. In NLP, machine learn- ing systems are by nature data-intensive, and in linguistics there is a renewed interest in the empirical validation of linguistic theory, particularly through corpus evidence. While the first statistical parsers have long been trained on the Penn treebank phrase structures, dependency treebanks, whether natively annotated with dependencies, or converted from phrase structures, have become more and more popu- lar, as evidenced by the success of the Universal Dependency project, currently uniting 120 treebanks in 80 languages, annotated in the same dependency-based scheme.
