Call for Applications   DIGITAL EDITING AND THE MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPT ROLL   November 10th and 11th, 2017 Yale University This graduate training workshop will cover topics in: ·       Paleography and Cataloging of Medieval Manuscript Rolls ·       Manuscript Transcription and Scholarly Editing ·       Introduction to the Digital Edition: Challenges and Best Practices ·       Collaborative Editing ·       XML, Text Encoding Fundamentals and the TEI Schema ·       No prior paleography or encoding experience is required. The workshop covers the fundamentals of digital editing while tackling the codicological challenges posed by manuscript rolls. Practical sessions inform collective editorial decision-making: participants will undertake the work of transcription and commentary, and encode (according to TEI P5 protocols) the text and images of a medieval manuscript roll. The end result of the workshop will be a collaborative digital edition. The workshop will run November 10th and 11th (Friday-Saturday) 9.30am-4.30pm. This graduate-run event is free of charge, and lunches will be provided for participants. We also hope to provide a limited number of small need-based travel bursaries for participants traveling to New Haven. The number of participants is capped at ten – preference will be given to graduate students with demonstrated need for training in manuscript study and text encoding.
