<p align="center"><b>DOMESDAY BOOK AND THE LOCALITY</b>.</p>
<p>This lecture will look at the Domesday Survey of 1086 in general and at the Domesday estates in the Yeo valley in particular. Greater understanding of the 'Domesday Process' has been brought by the Arts and Humanities Research Council's funded study, now nearing completion, of Exon or Exeter Domesday Book, the immediate predecessor of Domesday Book for the five south-western counties. The estates around the river Yeo (formerly the Wring), listed in Domesday Book but mostly originating much earlier, form a fascinating group which shared in upland, riverine and maritime resources and which were probably carved out successively from the ancient royal estate of Bedminster-Hartcliffe. In this lecture the general gives context to the particular and the local detail illuminates the operation of the Survey.</p>

A summary of the talk is reproduced here from <a href="http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/events/event/8256">the IES website</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Medieval Jewish scribal culture reflects long-standing post-biblical traditions elaborated by Jewish communities in Palestine, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Moreover, despite major linguistic and scribal differences, Jewish medieval scribes in both East and West were well aware of the palaeographical specificities of the non-Jewish cultures among which they resided. This awareness is apparent in the manuscripts themselves: some contain texts written in different languages and alphabets, others are written in Hebrew script with features echoing the scripts of the majority cultures. Taking as examples manuscripts written in Egypt, Spain and Northern France between the eleventh and the fifteenth centuries, I attempt to uncover some of the mechanisms, technical, aesthetic and social, underlying such scribal cross-cultural encounters. <br/><br/>Professor Judith Olszowy-Schlanger is the Director of Studies, École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE), Section des Sciences Historiques et Philogogiques, Sorbonne University, Paris and is a corresponding fellow of the British Academy. She is a highly distinguished scholar, funded by the Rothschild Foundation to research uncatalogued material, and her subject is fundamental to current work on medieval Europe. She heads a pan-European project entitled ‘Books within Books’ (<a href="http://hebrewmanuscript.com">http://hebrewmanuscript.com</a>), that seeks to locate, photograph and describe every Hebrew manuscript to be found in the bindings of books (these are mostly books written in Latin) now in libraries across Europe. She is a leading specialist in the study of Hebrew manuscripts, palaeography and diplomatic, the history of medieval linguistic thought and Christian Hebrew scholars in the Middle Ages.</p>

This project ran from 2010 to 2014 and first developed the software that now lies behind this website; the 'core' DigiPal team has since been working on the Exon Domesday and <a href="http://www.modelsofauthority.ac.uk">Models of Authority</a> projects and have developed the software further as part of this.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.themedievalacademyblog.org/maa-blog-inaugural-medieval-academy-digital-humanities-prize/">The full citation</a> for the prize notes that</p>
<blockquote>DigiPal’s innovative framework, collaborative origins, open access, quality design, and skillfully curated pilot collection make it an excellent model for the practice of digital humanities scholarship in the field of medieval studies.</blockquote>
<p>I personally want to thank all the people who have contributed to DigiPal as a project and to the <a href="https://github.com/kcl-ddh/digipal">free and open-source software</a> that we have continued to develop since the project finished in 2014; these thanks include the European Research Council who funded the whole project through an <a href="https://erc.europa.eu/funding-and-grants/funding-schemes/starting-grants">ERC Starting Grant</a>. The citation formally credits the 'core' DigiPal team of Peter Stokes, Stewart Brookes and Geoffroy Noël, and I certainly thank my colleagues Stewart and Geoffroy, but of course this is only a small seletion of the people who have contributed directly to the project over the last seven years. The <a href="http://www.digipal.eu">DigiPal</a>, <a href="http://www.modelsofauthority.ac.uk">Models of Authority</a> and Conqueror's Commissioners projects, as well as smaller projects such as ScandiPal, SephardiPal, ViGOTHIC, and Polices des Caractères et Inscriptions Monétaires, along with the various advisory boards, student interns, and others, brings the total number of contributors to well over 30 people. These people and the <a href="http://www.ahrc.ac.uk">Arts and Humanities Research Council</a>, who funded Models of Authority and the Conqueror's Commissioners, all deserve recognition.</p>
<p>Finally, to give some sense of the significance of this award, here is some text on the Academy and prize (thanks to the MAA's Executive Director, Lisa Fagin Davis, for providing this):</p>
<blockquote>The Medieval Academy of America is the largest organization in the world promoting excellence in the field of medieval studies. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Academy was founded in 1925 and comprises more than 3500 members worldwide. Among other activities, the Academy publishes the quarterly journal Speculum and awards more than a dozen prizes, grants, and fellowships. In 2016, the Council of the Medieval Academy voted to add an annual Digital Humanities Prize to its slate of publication honors. More than twenty digital projects were nominated for the inaugural prize, which is being awarded to DigiPal. The Prize will be presented at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy, to be held at the University of Toronto from April 6-8. More information about the Medieval Academy can be found at <a href="http://medievalacademy.org">http://medievalacademy.org</a>.</blockquote>
<p>Congratulations again to everyone in the rapidly growing DigiPal community, and I look forward to working with you all more in the years to come.</p>

This is part of the 'Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age' (MMSDA) course which is running again in London and Cambridge next week (as reported in <a href="http://localhost:8080/blog/medieval-and-modern-manuscript-studies-in-the-digital-age-mmsda-2016/">an earlier post</a>). The course is available to registered participants only (and is now very much full!), but two lectures next week will be public. The abstract for the talk is as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<h2>Material culture and societal resonance in Digital Humanities: Modelling Textuality</h2>
<p><strong>When</strong>: 6 May 2016: 5.30pm - 7.30pm<br/><strong>Where</strong>: Gordon Room/G34, Senate House<br/><strong>To Register</strong>: E-mail <a href="mailto:IESEvents@sas.ac.uk">IESEvents@sas.ac.uk</a></p>
<p>Modelling is claimed to be a core research methodology in Digital Humanities. Inspired by a material culture framework, this lecture will reflect on the concept of modelling and its practices in particular with respect to textuality. While extensible to other cultural artefacts, the main remit of this lecture will be the modelling process of texts-bearing historical documents. By claiming that modelling is a meaning-making process, the lecture will emphasise the potential of Digital Humanities research to be socially resonant, for instance, with respect to public history and big data. Drawing on examples from the research conducted by the author herself as well as DiXiT fellows, the lecture will exemplify three intertwined levels of modelling textuality in the digital environment:</p>
<ol>
<li>image and document-based modelling of the material sources;</li>
<li>modelling of the materiality of research publications and collections;</li>
<li>modelling of the socio-cultural agencies shaping the understanding and historical interpretations of the documents and texts.</li>

<p><strong>Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (MMSDA)</strong><br/><strong>2 – 6 May 2016, Cambridge and London</strong></p>
<p>We are very pleased to announce the sixth year of this course, funded by the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT), and run by King’s College London with the University of Cambridge and the Warburg Institute. The course will run in two parallel strands: one on medieval and the other on modern manuscripts.</p>
<p>The course is open to any doctoral students working with manuscripts. It involves five days of intensive training on the analysis, description and editing of medieval or modern manuscripts to be held jointly in Cambridge and London. Participants will receive a solid theoretical foundation and hands-on experience in cataloguing and editing manuscripts for both print and digital formats.</p>
<p>The first half of the course involves morning classes and then afternoon visits to libraries in Cambridge and London. Participants will view original manuscripts and gain practical experience in applying the morning’s themes to concrete examples. In the second half we will address the cataloguing and description of manuscripts in a digital format with particular emphasis on the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). These sessions will also combine theoretical principles and practical experience and include supervised work on computers.</p>
<p>The course is free of charge but is open only to doctoral students (PhD or equivalent). It is aimed at those writing dissertations relating to medieval or modern manuscripts, especially those working on literature, art or history. Eight bursaries will be available for travel and accommodation. There are thirty vacancies across the medieval and modern strands, and preference will be given to those considered by the selection panel likely to benefit most from the course. Applications close at <strong>5pm GMT on 22 February 2016</strong> but early registration is strongly recommended.</p>
