The authors aim to achieve a complete digital edition of the Greek manuscript XI.1 of the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice (= coll. 452). The first step was to identify as precisely as possible all the texts that appear in the various anthologies and compilations contained in this 14th-century school manuscript. Several of the anthologies are accompanied by grammatical and lexical scholia, known by a well-identified manuscript tradition and mostly used for the elaboration of a lexicon of Attic words. The difficulty of encoding this document in TEI-XML lies in the choice of the tags considered the most appropriate, since in TEI-XML scholia are considered as additions to the text, whereas here they seem to be a central element of the transmitted teaching. The authors propose a schema that allowed them to encode literary texts and scholia in an equivalent way but linked together, with unique identifiers.
The Collaborative Database of Dateable Greek Bookhands (CDDGB) is a catalogue of Greek manuscripts written in a literary script which, apart from a few exceptions, can be dated on the basis of some objective criterion, such as the presence of a document on the reverse side which contains a date, or a dateable archaeological context associated with the manuscript.
This catalogue provides descriptions of all known Western medieval manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, and of medieval manuscripts in selected Oxford colleges (currently Christ Church).
The retroReveal project exists for and because of its volunteers and users. retroReveal facilitates the collaborative discovery of hidden content in documents, manuscripts, music, and artifacts.
retroReveal provides documentation and web based image processing algorithms designed to help people discover hidden content. While the current version of the site provides basic assistance with image processing, we will be adding support for collaborative work among scholarly communities in a wide variety of disciplines in the future. retroReveal provides an inexpensive discovery tool to assist people who wish to identify hidden text in their documents for further study. The web based image processing we provide assumes no specialized image editing knowledge, and is designed to be used by a broad spectrum of researchers, scholars, and community members.
