Abstract:
Questa tesi affronta l’analisi e la restituzione tridimensionale delle chiese a pianta centrale rappresentate all’interno del Manoscritto B di Leonardo da Vinci. Tra gli edifici religiosi disegnati in quest’ultimo si sono considerati quelli caratterizzati da una tecnica rappresentativa che fa uso di una pianta abbinata ad una vista a volo d’uccello, approccio estremamente innovativo che permette di coniugare l’immediatezza nella comprensione dei volumi, data dalla vista prospettica, alla misurabilità dei disegni. Tuttavia, la mancanza di viste interne o di sezioni lascia interrogativi sull’articolazione interna degli spazi e la dimensione ridotta dei disegni non permette di conoscere con certezza tutti gli elementi dell’edificio. Per questa ragione questo studio parte da un’analisi del contesto storico del Manoscritto B, al fine di individuare esempi architettonici coevi da utilizzare come riferimenti per il processo di restituzione tridimensionale. Successivamente si sono considerate le caratteristiche compositive delle chiese, con l’obbiettivo di definire un metodo per la loro classificazione. Esistono infatti numerosi elementi comuni nelle regole aggregative dei volumi intorno all’ambiente centrale e l’analisi critica dello stato dell’arte sul tema è divenuto il punto di partenza per avanzare una nuova proposta. Quest’ultima si basa sulla definizione di un codice in grado di descrivere l’aggregazione di elementi in ogni chiesa ed è stata utilizzata per la definizione di uno script in Grasshopper che permette di ottenere una base per la modellazione tridimensionale degli edifici. Successivamente si è analizzato, per ciascuna chiesa, il processo di ricostruzione della pianta e la sua relazione con le misure in alzato. Tali informazioni sono poi state utilizzate per la realizzazione di modelli tridimensionali, distinguendo più varianti in caso di inconsistenza tra pianta e alzato, di incertezza o di elementi variabili nel disegno.

The Göttingen Virtual Manuscript Room (VMR); The Göttingen Virtual Manuscript Room (VMR) offers both an online based digital repository for Coptic Biblical manuscripts (ideally, high resolution images of every manuscript page, all metadata etc.) and a digital edition of their texts, finally even a critical edition of every biblical book of the Coptic Old Testament based on all available manuscripts. All text data will also be transferred into XML and linguistically annotated. In this way the VMR offers a full physical description of each manuscript and, at the same time, a full edition of its text and language data. Of course, the VMR can be used for manuscripts and texts other than Coptic too.

A chamada Revolução Digital vem desenvolvendo novas linguagens, estratégias e possibilidades, transformando radicalmente a história da escrita. É neste contexto que se insere a reflexão que se propõe neste trabalho: verificar os usos, representações e práticas da escrita e da leitura, nos suportes digital e papel (manuscritos e impressos), por parte dos professores universitários. Foram abordadas questões como: Quais são as escritas destes professores? Quais os suportes utilizados? Como os professores vêm lidando com estas transformações? O que leem e escrevem nos distintos suportes? Após análise dos relatos observou-se que a maioria dos entrevistados pratica a escrita à mão com regularidade e também faz uso da escrita digital nas suas atividades diárias como docente. Há, no entanto, diferenças quanto aos usos e funções de ambas as escritas. Notou-se que para a comunicação rápida e objetiva, a escrita eletrônica, através dos e-mails, é um recurso amplamente utilizado. Para construções teóricas mais elaboradas, no entanto, como a construção de um artigo, por exemplo, os professores, em sua maioria, disseram utilizar-se de um rascunho prévio feito à mão. Em meio às outras transformações em curso, tais como o excesso de mensagens e demandas de trabalho on-line que chegam a invadir a sua privacidade, os professores fazem um esforço para manter a qualidade de seu trabalho.
The so-called Digital Revolution has developed new languages, strategies and possibilities, which have been changing the reading history in a radical way. It is in this context in which the proposal of this work is posed, i.e., to verify the uses, representations and practices of writing and reading of university professors employing different supports. Some issues to be discussed are: What are the writings of these professors? What are they using for their writings? How are they dealing with these changes? What do they read and write employing the distinctive supports? After analyzing the reports, it was noted that most of them use the manuscript way regularly, and also use the digital writing on their docent activities. There are, however, differences concerning the uses and functions of both writings. It was observed that e- mails are regularly preferred for objective and fast contacts. However, for more elaborated theoretical constructions, such as the writing of a paper, most of the interviewees preferred to make their drafts by hand. Among others transformations which are nowadays undergoing, such as the excess of messages and demands that are invading their privacy, professors have been working hard in order to keep up the work quality.

Abstract:
Mechanics’ Institutes were an integral element of the nineteenth-century British adult education movement, which was itself part of an on-going radicalisation of the working class. Such was the popularity of Mechanics’ Institutes, and so reflective of contemporary British cultural philosophy, that they were copied throughout the British Empire. The Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute, established in 1859, instilled a powerful, male-gendered British middle-class influence over the cultural, social and educational development of the Ballarat city. The focus of this study is to identify and analyse the significance of the contribution made by the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute to the evolving cultural development of the wider Ballarat community, with a particular emphasis on the gender and class dimensions of this influence. This is done within the context of debates about ‘radical fragments’ and ‘egalitarianism’. Utilizing a methodology based on an extensive review of archival records, contemporary newspapers held at the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute, and previously published research, this study was able to show that, during the period from its inception in 1859 to 1880, the Institute became a focal point for numerous cultural, social and educational activities. As one of the few institutions open to all classes, it was in a position to provide a significant influence over the developing culture of the Ballarat community. The study has also identified the use made of the Institute’s School of Design by women and the contribution of these educational classes to preparing women for employment outside their traditional roles of wives and mothers. The thesis argues that despite some early radical elements, the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute initially espoused liberal egalitarian values. By 1880, however, the Institute was more readily identifiable as reflecting British, male, middle-class values.

Full text
Abstract:
We propose a novel approach for analyzing scribal behavior quantitatively using information about the handwriting of characters. To implement this approach, we develop a computational framework that recovers this information and decomposes the characters into primitives (called strokes) to create a hierarchically structured representation. We then propose a number of intuitive metrics quantifying various facets of scribal behavior, which are derived from the recovered information and character structure. We further propose the use of techniques modeling the generation of handwriting to directly study the changes in writing behavior. We then present a case study in which we use our framework and metrics to analyze the development of four major Indic scripts. We show that our framework and metrics coupled with appropriate statistical methods can provide great insight into scribal behavior by discovering specific trends and phenomena with quantitative methods. We also illustrate the use of handwriting modeling techniques in this context to study the divergence of the Brahmi script into two daughter scripts. We conduct a user study with domain experts to evaluate our framework and salient results from the case study, and we elaborate on the results of this evaluation. Finally, we present our conclusions and discuss the limitations of our research along with future work that needs to be done.

Abstract:
For ages past, inscribed culture heritage materials have been preserved, organised, and disseminated by libraries, museums, and archive centres. Arabic manuscripts, as one of the most fragile and valuable examples of mankind's heritage, are kept in different parts of the world. With the increasing demand for these manuscripts by users, many Arabic manuscript holders have tended to use technology in order to preserve this fragile information resource and provide a better service for users. Digital libraries open new frontiers for Arabic manuscript providers and end-users. In the last five years, a number of digital libraries providing access to some Arabic manuscripts have been launched in several parts of the world. There are also ongoing projects to establish a digital library of Arabic manuscripts (e.g. in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). A number of studies have called for the involvement of users in building and maintaining digital libraries to provide a better service. This study aims to explore and specify Arabic manuscript users' (providers and end-users) requirements to provide best practice for digital libraries of Arabic manuscripts. In order to elicit Arabic manuscripts users' requirements, the study has employed both desk research and a mixed methods approach. This study has selected the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as the research environment. The findings of this study show willingness by number of Arabic manuscript providers to establish a digital library of Arabic manuscripts. In addition, the majority of surveyed end-users have previous experience of using internet resources (e.g. digital libraries) for locating and accessing Arabic manuscripts. End-users have specific requirements based on their informationseeking behaviour which are in contrast with those of providers, such as obtaining a hard copy of a manuscript.

Abstract:
Les projets en humanités numériques utilisent de plus en plus des méthodes de collaboration axées sur le public, telles que le crowdsourcing pour atteindre les objectifs de recherche, de conservation et d’édition scientifique en sciences humaines et sociales. Par exemple, le crowdsourcing représente une opportunité pour accélérer les projets de transcription pour des communautés de chercheurs qui travaillent traditionnellement dans des circuits-fermés. Certaines questions importantes soulevée par les chercheurs et les érudits concernent notamment l’intérêt de la méthode, et en particulier la qualité des résultats obtenus avec cette méthode. En outre, l’efficacité du crowdsourcing pour les humanités numériques n’est pas documenté dans la littérature. Se pose ainsi la question de savoir si le public peut produire du matériel pouvant être par la suite utilisé pour des éditions scientifiques, auxquels cas, pour quel type de projet et combien de post-traitement ou corrections seront nécessaires.Cette thèse de doctorat examinera le potentiel apport du crowdsourcing des transcriptions pour les projets d’édition scientifique en humanités numériques. Pour cela, nous allons premièrement explorer les technologies et les techniques disponibles pour produire les transcriptions sous format XML en ligne. Deuxièmement, ayant développé et testé une plateforme internet de transcription que nous présenterons, nous pourrons examiner les besoins des utilisateurs vis-à-vis des environnements de travail collaboratifs fondées sur les retours des utilisateurs et les environments de crowdsourcing industriels existants. Troisièmement, les données récoltées seront soumises à une analyse numérique qui permettra de comparer les productions des experts et celle des non-experts en s’appuyant sur les mesures de distances entre documents. Les résultats obtenus permettront de déterminer le potentiel apport du crowdsourcing pour les projets d’édition numérique scientifique. Enfin, le travail se terminera avec une discussion sur les implications des travaux actuels et présentera des opportunités pour des recherches futures sur le terrain
Projects in digital humanities increasingly employ public-oriented collaboration methods such as crowdsourcing to achieve objectives that include research, conservation and scholarly editing in the humanities and social sciences. For example, crowdsourcing presents an opportunity to quicken the pace of progress for transcription projects for research communities that have traditionally operated within closed circuits. Some important questions raised by researchers and scholars concern the benefits of using this method and in particular the quality of results that can be obtained. Meanwhile, literature that evaluates the efficacy of crowdsourcing for digital humanities projects is insufficient. Questions as to whether the public can produce material that can be used for scholarly editions, in which cases, for which types of projects, and how much post-processing or corrections will be required, continue to occupy discussions on the matter.This doctoral thesis will examine the potential benefits of crowdsourced transcription for scholarly editing projects in the digital humanities. Firstly, by exploring the technologies and techniques available to render online transcription in XML possible. Secondly, by developing and testing an online transcription platform, which will allow to examine user needs for collaborative work environments based on user responses and existing industrial crowdsourcing environments. Thirdly, the data collected will be subjected to digital analysis to compare the productions of non-expert transcribers to those of expert transcribers on the basis of document distance measurements. The results will be interpreted to determine the potential benefits of crowdsourcing for digital scholarly editing projects. Finally, the work will conclude by discussing the implications of current work and presenting opportunities for future research in the field

Full text
Abstract:
While the study of complete sources is very valuable, and has contributed greatly to what is understood of music history, the perspective they contribute is limited because they cannot reveal information about how music and music sources were most often used. The study of functional sources, more probably created for use, allows for more insight into how music was performed and understood, and how such sources were created, used and valued. This study examines twelve fragmentary early sixteenth-century English sources from the Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music (DIAMM) database, constituting a sample of functional music sources in this period. The study of this sampling reveals information about how functional manuscripts were created, used and valued in England during this time period. Some of the fragments contain works with concordances. These concordances are compared using variant comparison, where differences in the versions of the work are considered and weighed. The comparative study of concordances provides insight into the transmission of the versions, scribal and performance culture, as well as into music culture in general. Overall, the study of this sampling of early sixteenth-century functional English sources provides a clearer understanding of the use of accidentals, scribes and scribal culture, performers, performance practice and music culture in England at this time, contributing to the understanding of music history.

Abstract:
The National Mission for Manuscripts of India, in association with UNESCO, completed a research study to assist in the development of legal and policy framework and protocols for promoting equitable access to documentary heritage, relevant to India and other South Asian countries. Entitled Legal and Policy Framework for Promoting Equitable Access to Documentary Heritage, the study seeks to accurately identify and critically examine the legal and policy framework for promoting equitable access to documentary heritage. The National Mission for Manuscripts is the most important institution in India dealing with bibliographic databases and the conservation and preservation of valuable manuscripts. The study covers the legal and policy framework which envelops the lifecycle of the Mission's work: access to manuscripts, their digitisation and creation of databases. By critically examining the legal rules in the practical context of the Missionâ s work, the research team has put together the first review of an initiative aimed at the protection of Indian traditional knowledge. The study illustrates working patterns of the Mission within the legal and policy framework of the country. It is a helpful sourcebook for understanding South Asian legal and policy framework for accessing documentary heritage collections. While the study does not set out to be the final word on these policy initiatives, it definitely makes significant progress in the policy debate and legal literature in this field. The conclusions presented in the form of draft legal agreements and policy recommendations will, with no doubt, be valuable tools for South Asian countries that share similar legal and policy framework within the sub-region.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis accompanies the digital edition of the 'Crónica particular de San Fernando', and includes a rationale for and an explanation of many of the implications of the decisions taken in the preparation of this edition. The edition is used as a case study for the digital editing of medieval prose in Castilian at the present time. To this end, there is an in-depth examination of the history, context and current situation of the digital editing of medieval texts, focussing specifically on prose, and in particular prose in Castilian. The text and contact of the Crónica particular de San Fernando are also studied, to inform the preparation of its digital edition. My central thesis is that the decisions made when preparing a digital edition should take into account the perceived needs of edition users, including both contemporary users and, as far as possible, future users. These decisions should be informed by the nature of the text itself, its context, and transmission, as these will affect how and by whom the edition is used. They should also be informed by an understanding of how digital editions differ from their print counterparts, in both preparation and usage.

Abstract:
The humanities have for a long time been a collection of fields that have not gained from the advancements in computational power, as predicted by Moore´s law.  Fields like medicine, biology, physics, chemistry, geology and economics have all developed quantitative tools that take advantage of the exponential increase of processing power over time.  Recent advances in computerized pattern recognition, in combination with a rapid digitization of historical document collections around the world, is about to change this. The first part of this dissertation focuses on constructing a full system for finding handwritten words in historical manuscripts. A novel segmentation algorithm is presented, capable of finding and separating text lines in pre-modern manuscripts.  Text recognition is performed by translating the image data of the text lines into sequences of numbers, called features. Commonly used features are analysed and evaluated on manuscript sources from the Uppsala University library Carolina Rediviva and the US Library of Congress.  Decoding the text in the vast number of photographed manuscripts from our libraries makes computational linguistics and social network analysis directly applicable to historical sources. Hence, text recognition is considered a key technology for the future of computerized research methods in the humanities. The second part of this thesis addresses digital palaeography, using a computers superior capacity for endlessly performing measurements on ink stroke shapes. Objective criteria of character shapes only partly catches what a palaeographer use for assessing similarity. The palaeographer often gets a feel for the scribe's style.  This is, however, hard to quantify.  A method for identifying the scribal hands of a pre-modern copy of the revelations of saint Bridget of Sweden, using semi-supervised learning, is presented.  Methods for production year estimation are presented and evaluated on a collection with close to 11000 medieval charters.  The production dates are estimated using a Gaussian process, where the uncertainty is inferred together with the most likely production year. In summary, this dissertation presents several novel methods related to image analysis and machine learning. In combination with recent advances of the field, they enable efficient computational analysis of very large collections of historical documents.

Diante da carência metodológica que embase o estudo genético de manuscritos digitais, o presente trabalho propõe-se a analisar o processo de criação das legendas do filme Raccoon & Crawfish (2007) a fim de propor uma interpretação possível desse percurso criativo e uma edição genética vertical digital do dossiê relacionado à legendagem fílmica mencionada. Uma vez que tal processo deu origem a um dossiê constituído apenas por documentos digitais, buscou-se: refletir sobre os novos horizontes que documentos dessa materialidade abrem para os estudos do processo; apresentar possibilidades para o resgate dos rastros escriturais de obras criadas em computador; e experimentar, com as necessárias adaptações, princípios metodológicos de análise, descrição e transcrição para estudo de manuscritos autógrafos digitais. Para a análise do processo criativo da legendagem do filme Raccoon & Crawfish, contou-se com a articulação entre a referência teórico-metodológica da crítica genética e os estudos de tradução audiovisual (TAV), modalidade legendagem. Por fim, foi elaborada uma edição genética vertical digital, em prezi, que visa a divulgação, online e em DVD, do processo criativo em estudo. Tal edição é composta, principalmente, pelos documentos de processo gerados na legendagem; pela análise feita sobre o percurso genético; e pelas transcrição e descrição dos documentos digitais do referido processo em apreço.
Considering the shortage of methodological materials to study genetic dossiers related to digital manuscripts, this work aims to analyze the creative process of subtitling the short film Raccoon & Crawfish (2007). The idea was to propose an analysis of the genesis of such material and then to construct a genetic vertical digital edition based on the subtitling process of the referred animation. Considering that all process documents are digital manuscripts, it was also relevant to: discuss the new trends of genetic criticism; show possibilities to rescue traces from digital manuscripts; and apply traditional genetic criticism principles of analysis, description and transcription, to digital autograph manuscripts studies. Genetic criticism and audiovisual translation (AVT), especially subtitling, were the theoretical framework used to study the genesis of such creative process. Finally, we organized a genetic vertical digital edition, in prezi, which aims to disseminate, online and on DVD, the creative process under consideration. This edition presents all documents generated during the subtitling process, together with the analysis of such genetic course, as well as the transcription and description of the referred digital documents.

Se rattachant à la geste du roi, la Chanson d'Otinel n'avait pas été rééditée depuis le travail pionnier de F. Guessard et H. Michelant en 1858. Partant des objets tangibles que sont les manuscrits pour aller vers l'étude de la tradition et de l'œuvre, ce travail se propose de réexaminer l'ensemble des données disponibles, en vue de permettre la restauration d'une œuvre qui a connu une diffusion importante dans l'Europe médiévale, mais que nous ne conservons qu'en l'état de vestiges épars. La thèse prend un parti résolument méthodologique, en cherchant à faire bénéficier l'édition des progrès épistémologiques engendrés tant par les contributions les plus récentes aux débats propres à l'ecdotique et à la critique textuelle que par ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler les « humanités numériques ». L'édition tente ainsi de dépasser l'opposition entre philologie « nouvelle » et traditionnelle, de la méthode des fautes communes ou d'inspiration bédiériste, pour se placer dans la perspective d'une « quatrième voie » et d'une édition « tournée vers la tradition ». Les techniques de l'édition électronique et de la philologie numérique sont sollicitées afin de fournir une édition complète du corpus manuscrit, qui, par des transcriptions « à couches », donne accès à différentes représentations et au système graphique des différents témoins. L'édition vise également à la description et l'analyse des liens que ces témoins entretiennent entre eux, en mettant en place une méthode de représentation de la variance textuelle et en cherchant à appuyer l'analyse généalogique sur une prise en compte globale de la tradition, incluant les traductions médiévales (galloises, norroises, anglaises) et les versions dérivées. Le travail de modélisation et de description des manuscrits et de leurs textes, formalisé par un modèle XML/TEI conçu pour les besoins de cette édition mais se voulant de portée plus générale, est très nettement tourné vers l'exploitation des données, dans une perspective d'analyse quantitative doublée d'une approche plus traditionnelle (paléographie, scriptométrie, stemmatologie). Des méthodes relevant de la modélisation mathématique, de la statistique, de l'algorithmique et de l'intelligence artificielle sont mises en œuvre, ainsi que des traitements visant à permettre l'interopérabilité, la montée en masse et la systématisation du travail éditorial (reconnaissance optique de caractères, annotation linguistique, collation), au sein d'une chaîne éditoriale faisant la part belle à l'analyse. Les développements effectués sont principalement en XML (TEI, XSLT), R et Python
Part of the geste du roi, the Chanson d'Otinel had not been the subject of an edition since the pioneer work of F. Guessard and H. Michelant in 1858. Starting with the tangible objects that manuscripts are, and proceeding to the study of the tradition and work itself, this study aims to provide a new examination of all the available data, in order to enable a restoration of a song that has know an important diffusion in Medieval Europe, but whose scattered remains only are available to us. This study is given a firmly methodological orientation, and searches to apply to the edition the epistemological progresses brought by recent contributions in the field of textual criticism and ecdotics, as well as by what is now called “Digital Humanities”. It aims at overcoming the debate between “New” and Traditional Philology, based on the common errors method or of Bedierist inspiration, to place itself in the perspective of a “Fourth Way” and of an edition “oriented towards the tradition”. Digital scholarly editing and Digital Philology techniques are used in order to provide a full edition of the manuscript corpus, with “layered” transcriptions that give access to different representations and to the graphic system of all witnesses. The edition aims also at the study and description of the links between these witnesses, by suggesting a method of representation of textual variance and by rooting genealogical analysis in a global consideration of the tradition, including medieval translations (in Welsh, Norse, English) and derived versions. The modelling and description of manuscripts and their texts – formalised by an XML/TEI model conceived for this edition but seeking to be of more general interest – is clearly oriented towards data mining, and computational as well as traditional analysis (Palaeography, Scriptometry, Stemmatology). Methods from the fields of mathematical modelling, statistics, algorithmic, and artificial intelligence are put to use, as well as processes seeking to allow interoperability, scalability, and systematisation of editorial work (optical character recognition, linguistic tagging, collation), in a workflow centred on analysis. Main used languages are XML (TEI, XSLT), R and Python

Abstract:
Hasta el momento el conocimiento almacenado en los manuscritos antiguos no se ha utilizado en su totalidad debido a la falta de métodos robustos en el estado del arte para el reconocimiento de texto manuscrito. La principal dificultad de los métodos para el reconocimiento de texto manuscrito es que se requiere que el texto se encuentre dividido en líneas. Además, los métodos para la Segmentación de Líneas de Texto (SLT) no han sido optimizados para procesar manuscritos antiguos. La primera etapa de la SLT es la Localización de Líneas de Texto (LLT). En la SLT se han propuesto métodos que buscan los valores máximos locales en un histograma. El problema de estos métodos es que existen demasiados máximos locales y no es posible identificar cuáles conjuntos de máximos locales representan una línea de texto. La segunda etapa de la SLT es la búsqueda de una ruta que permita separar las líneas de texto vecinas. Por un lado, el problema de los métodos actuales es que en algunos casos se realiza una búsqueda local de la ruta. Por otro lado, los métodos que realizan una búsqueda global de la ruta tienen problemas para encontrar una ruta entre trazos que se sobreponen. Los problemas de las dos etapas conforman un valor de complejidad. La complejidad visual de un documento mansucrito antiguo para ser segmentado puede apreciarse por el humano experto, sin embargo, no existe en el estado del arte un método para calcular la complejidad. En el estado del arte existen técnicas que permiten realizar una separación del cuerpo de letras y el espacio interlineal. Este trabajo se enfoca cuantificar la cantidad de información en el espacio interlineal para establecer un índice de complejidad. El índice de complejidad propuesto calcula la cantidad de información que aportan los trazos horizontales y verticales; además de la cantidad de información que aporta la tinta del documento y los valores del color del material de escritura.

Abstract:
En 966, le duc de Normandie Richard Ier installa dans le sanctuaire du Mont Saint-Michel une communauté de moines. La vie liturgique de cette communauté nous est connue par plusieurs livres de l’office et de la messe copiés entre le XIe et le XVe siècles. Cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude de deux de ces témoins liturgiques, des ordinaires produits à la fin du Moyen Âge (Avranches, BM, ms 46 ; Avranches, BM, ms 216). L’analyse codicologique, paléographique et liturgique de ces deux manuscrits, qui décrivent le cérémonial et le cursus des fêtes et des féries du temporal et du sanctoral, doit permettre d’éclairer le degré de parenté de ces livres et leur dépendance à l’égard de l’ordo montois primitif, ainsi que le code et les évolutions des usages liturgiques de l’abbaye. La thèse présente également un prototype d’édition en XML-TEI des ordinaires, offrant des outils d’indexation du texte liturgique et de ses remaniements secondaires. Ce prototype a été utilisé pour réaliser l’édition critique et numérique d’une partie des ordinaires montois correspondant au temps de l’Avent et au temps de Noël
In 966, the Duke of Normandy Richard I established in the sanctuary of Mont Saint-Michel a community of monks. The liturgical life of this community is known to us from several books of the Divine Office and Mass copied between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries. This thesis is dedicated to the study of two of these liturgical witnesses, ordinals produced at the end of the Middle Ages (Avranches, BM, MS. 46, Avranches, BM, MS. 216). Both manuscripts describe the ceremonial and chant of each day of the temporal and sanctoral cycles. Their codicological, palaeographic and liturgical analysis must make it possible to study the relation of these books and their dependence with regard of the primitive Liturgy of Mont Saint-Michel, as well as the code and evolutions of the liturgical usages of the abbey. The thesis also presents a prototype for the XML-TEI edition of the ordinals, offering tools for indexing the liturgical text and its secondary modifications. This prototype was used to realize the critical and numerical edition of a part of the ordinals of the Mont Saint-Michel corresponding to the periods of Advent and Christmas

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the creation of innovative scholarly environments, publications, and resources in the context of a social knowledge creation affordances engendered by digital technologies. It draws on theoretical and praxis-oriented work undertaken as part of the Electronic Textual Cultures Laboratory (ETCL), work that sought to model how a socially aware and interconnected domain of scholarly inquiry might operate. It examines and includes two digital projects that provide a way to interrogate the meaning of social knowledge creation as it relates to early modern studies. These digital projects – A Social Edition of the Devonshire Manuscript (BL Add. 17,492) and the Renaissance Knowledge Network – approach the social in three primary ways: they approach the social as a quality of material textuality, deriving from the editorial theories of D. F. McKenzie and Jerome McGann; as a type of knowledge work that digital technologies can facilitate; and as a function of consciously designed platforms and tools emerging from the digital humanities. In other words, digital humanities practitioners are uniquely placed to move what has until now been customarily an analytical category and enact or embed it in a practical, applied way. The social is simultaneously a theoretical orientation and a way of designing and making digital tools — an act which in turn embeds such a theoretical framework in the material conditions of knowledge production. Digital humanists have sought to explain and often re-contextualise how knowledge work occurs in the humanities; as such, they form a body of scholarship that undergirds and enriches the present discussion around how the basic tasks of humanities work—research, discovery, analysis, publication, editing—might alter in the age of Web 2.0 and 3.0. Through sustained analysis of A Social Edition of the Devonshire Manuscript (BL Add 17,492) and the Renaissance Knowledge Network, this dissertation argues argues that scholarly communication is shifting from a largely individualistic, single-author system of traditional peer-reviewed publication to a broadly collaborative, socially-invested ecosystem of peer production and public facing digital production. Further, it puts forward the idea that the insights gained from these long-term digital humanities projects – the importance of community investment and maintenance in social knowledge projects, building resources consonant with disciplinary expectations and norms, and the necessity of transparency and consultation in project development – are applicable more widely to shifting norms in scholarly communications. These insights and specific examples may change patters of behaviour that govern how humanities scholars act within a densely interwoven digital humanities. This dissertation is situated at the intersection of digital humanities, early modern studies, and to discussions of humanities knowledge infrastructure. In content it reports on and discusses two major digital humanities projects, putting a number of previous peer-reviewed, collaboratively authored publications in conversation with each other and the field at large. As the introduction discusses, each chapter other than the introduction and conclusion originally stood on its own. Incorporating previously published, peer-reviewed materials from respected journals, as well as grants, white papers, and working group documents, this project represents a departure from the proto-monograph model of dissertation work prevalent in the humanities in the United States and Canada. Each component chapter notes my role as author; for the majority of the included material, I acted as lead author or project manager, coordinating small teams of makers and writers. In form this means that the following intervenes in discussions surrounding graduate training and professionalization. Instead of taking the form of a cohesive monograph, this project is grounded in four years of theory and practice that closely resemble dissertations produced in the natural sciences.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents an edition of six poems from John Donne’s Songs and Sonets—“The Indifferent,” “Love’s Usury,” “The Will,” “The Funerall,” “The Primerose,” and “The Dampe”—and a digital edition of one additional poem, “To His Mistress Going to Bed.” Using the methodologies of The Variorum Edition of the Poems of John Donne, I have also adopted the edition’s principal goal—to recover and present Donne’s exact texts to the extent that this is possible. For each poem, I have selected a copy-text and emended it in accordance with the Variorum’s principles. A textual introduction for each poem explains how the copy-text was chosen and traces the circulation of the text in all seventeenth-century artifacts. I have also provided a textual apparatus for each poem, which, in addition to recording the texts collated, emendations to the copy-text, imperfections in the sources, and indentation patterns in the sources, also notes all verbal variants and variants of punctuation. Finally, I have created a stemma charting the transmissional history for each poem and giving a visual representation of how the textual artifacts relate to each other. The other major component of my dissertation, a digital edition of “To His Mistress Going to Bed,” is meant to serve as a prototype for what might usefully be done with Donne’s poems in a digital medium. While the actual digital edition of this poem cannot be fully represented on paper, my chapter on this edition outlines the process I used to create it and describes its major features.

Abstract:
In response to early technologies of seeing, hearing, and moving at the turn of the twentieth century, modernist authors, poets, and artists experimented with forms of textual production enmeshed in mechanical technologies of the time. Unfolding a literary history of such mechanical forms, this dissertation sees modern manuscripts as blueprints for literary production, whose specific rules of assembly model historical mechanisms of cultural production in practice during their period of composition. Central to this analysis is the concept of the inscriptive procedure, defined as a systematic series of strategies for composing, revising, and arranging a literary text that emerge in the context of that text’s specific political and technological environment; in so doing, inscriptive procedures use composition as a material act that works through a set of political circumstances by incorporating them into the signifying process of the physical text. As such, procedurally authored texts do not neatly instantiate in the form of the print book. Reading modern manuscripts instead as media objects, this dissertation applies the physical operation of a given old media mechanism as a hermeneutic strategy for interpreting an author’s inscriptive procedure. It unspools the spectacular vignettes of Raymond Roussel, plays back the celluloid fragments of Marcel Proust, decrypts the concordances of Samuel Beckett, and processes a digital history of Djuna Barnes’s editorial collaboration with T.S. Eliot. Rather than plotting a positivist literary genealogy, this dissertation instead traces an ouroboros mode of literary critique that emerges in its own wake, as digital experiments with textual manipulation reveal analog bibliographic arrangement procedures. Using the methods of contemporary scholarly editing to undertake a procedural archaeology of experimental literature, this dissertation unearths an analog prehistory of digital humanities practice, one that evolves alongside the mechanisms of old media as they lead to the advent of the digital age. In so doing, it unfolds a historicity of cultural form, one whose mechanical and ideological apparatuses participate in the development of early methods in humanities computing.

Full text
Abstract:
A sophisticated system of finger-counting was developed in Greco-Roman antiquity and was used until the middle ages. It enabled people to count to high amounts on their fingers. In the early middle ages, this system gave emergence to a pictorial tradition that lasted centuries: throughout the middle ages, large numbers of illuminated manuscripts with depictions of number-gestures circulated across Europe. There is no doubt that finger-counting illuminated manuscripts carried a heavy cultural and intellectual weight in the middle ages. This is evident from the peculiar form of their images, the pervasiveness of the finger system in medieval society, and the diffusion and dynamism of the manuscript tradition. However, this tradition is still widely unexplored. Not only a broad comparative analysis is wanting, but many sources remain unexamined. This dissertation analyses two twelfth-thirteenth centuries little-studied Portuguese grammatical codices. Although these codices include finger-counting images – typically associated with arithmetic and astronomy – they are grammatical compilations. To properly evaluate this seeming misplacement, this dissertation contextualizes the codices in the intellectual and cultural framework of coeval Portuguese and European monasticism. As this dissertation shows, the finger system was a polyvalent medium that crossed discipline barriers and was even useful for the teaching of grammar. Furthermore, the finger-counting images are impregnated with rhetorical devices, including a variety of visual puns – functioning as “visual etymologies.” The Portuguese codices are thus a befitting framing for the finger-counting images. The nature of the problem required a multidisciplinary approach that benefitted from art history, latin, neuroscience, mathematics, computer science, and paleography.
Na antiguidade Greco-Romana, desenvolveu-se um sofisticado sistema de contagem digital, o qual foi usado até à idade média. Este sistema permitia contar até grandes quantidades usando apenas os dedos. Nos inícios da idade média, este sistema deu origem a uma tradição pictórica que se prolongou por séculos: ao longo da idade média, circularam pela Europa, em grandes números, manuscritos iluminados com representações de gestos numéricos. Não existem dúvidas de que os manuscritos iluminados com contagem digital transportavam consigo um grande peso cultural e intelectual, na idade média. Isto é evidente pela forma peculiar das suas imagens, pela ubiquidade do sistema digital na sociedade medieval, e pela difusão e dinamismo da tradição manuscrita. No entanto, esta tradição permanece ainda largamente inexplorada. Não só uma análise comparativa alargada está por fazer, como muitas fontes ainda não foram examinadas. Esta dissertação analisa dois manuscritos gramaticais Portugueses pouco estudados, dos séculos XII-XIII. Apesar destes códices incluírem imagens de contagem digital – tipicamente associada à aritmética e à astronomia – eles são compilações gramaticais. Para adequadamente avaliar o aparente extravio, este estudo contextualiza os códices no panorama cultural e intelectual do monasticismo coevo Português e Europeu. Tal como revela esta dissertação, o sistema digital era um medium polivalente que cruzava fronteiras entre disciplinas, e que era útil mesmo no ensino da gramática. Para além disso, as imagens de contagem digital estão impregnadas de dispositivos retóricos, incluindo uma série de trocadilhos visuais – funcionando como “etimologias visuais.” Os códices portugueses são, pois, um enquadramento adequado para estas imagens. A natureza do problema em estudo requereu uma abordagem multidisciplinar, que beneficiou da história da arte, do latim, da neurociência, da matemática, da informática, e da paleografia.

Abstract:
My Interdisciplinary dissertation examines illustrations in manuscripts and early print sources and reveals their participation in the transmission and reception of Old Norse mythology. My approach encompasses Material Philology and Media Specific Analysis. The reception history of illustrations of Old Norse Mythology affects our understanding of related Interdisciplinary fields such as Book History, Visual Studies, Literary Studies and Cultural Studies. Part One of my dissertation begins with a discussion of the tradition of Old Norse oral poetry in pagan Scandinavia and the highly visual nature of the poems. The oral tradition died out in Scandinavia but survived in Iceland and was preserved in vernacular manuscripts in the thirteenth century. The discovery of these manuscripts in the seventeenth century initiated a cycle of illustration that largely occurred outside of Iceland. Part One concludes with an analytical survey of illustrations of Old Norse mythology in print sources from 1554 to 1915 revealing important patterns of transmission. Part Two traces the technological history of production of digital editions and manuscript facsimiles back to the seventeenth century when manuscripts were hand-copied and published by means of copperplate engravings. Part Two also discusses the scholarly and cultural prejudices towards images that are only now slowly fading. Part Two concludes with a description of my prototype for a digital image repository named MyNDIR (My Norse Digital Image Repository). MyNDIR will facilitate the emergence of images of Old Norse Studies from the current informal crowd sourcing of material on the web to a digital image repository supporting the dissemination of accurate scholarly knowledge in a widely accessible form. Part Three presents two thematic case studies that demonstrate the value of applying the skills of visual literacy to illustrations of Old Norse mythology. The first study examines Jakob Sigurðsson’s illustrations of Norse gods in hand-copied paper manuscripts from eighteenth-century Iceland. The second study examines illustrations by prominent Norwegian artists in the editions of Snorre Sturlason: Kongesagaer published in 1899 and 1900 respectively. What emerged from these studies is an understanding that illustrations offer insights for the study of Old Norse texts that the words of the texts alone cannot provide.
