Traditional critical editing, defined by the paper and print limitations of the book, is now considered by many to be inadequate for the expression and interpretation of complex works of literature. At the same time, digital developments are permitting us to extend the range of text objects we can reproduce and investigate critically - not just books, but newspapers, draft manuscripts and inscriptions on stone. Some exponents of the benefits of new information technologies argue that in future all editions should be produced in digital or online form. By contrast, others point to the fact that print, after more than five hundred years of development, continues to set the agenda for how we think about text, even in its non-print forms. This important book brings together leading textual critics, scholarly editors, technical specialists and publishers to discuss whether and how existing paradigms for developing and using critical editions are changing to reflect the increased commitment to and assumed significance of digital tools and methodologies.

Working with manuscripts has become a digital affair. But, are there downsides to digital photos? And how can you take advantage of the incredible computing power you have literally at your fingertips? Cornelis van Lit explains in detail what happens when manuscript studies meets digital humanities. In Among Digitized Manuscripts you will learn why it is important to include a note on the photo quality in your codicological description, how to draw, collect, and publish glyphs of paleographic interest, what standards (such as TEI and IIIF) to abide by when transcribing a text, how to write custom software for image recognition, and much more. The leading principle is that learning a little about computers will already be of great benefit.

Explores the theories and practices of editing, the processes of production and reproduction, and the relationships between authors and texts as well as that between manuscripts and books to offer insight into the past and future of academic communication.

"Au IXe siècle, la tradition arabe de l'adab parvient en Espagne en al-Andalus, plaque tournante où s'échangent les savoirs venus d'Orient. Ils passent aux royaumes chrétiens de la Péninsule, en partie, grâce au rôle de relais pour l'Occident que jouent, dès le XIe siècle, les centres monacaux du nord de l'Espagne. L'adab rencontre en al-Andalus la tradition sapientielle juive de la littérature midrashique. Des recueils sont composés, des oeuvres originales produites aux Xe et XIe siècles et, à partir du XIIe siècle, les recueils d'exempla et de dits des philosophes sont traduits en hébreu (Provence), en latin, en langues romanes. Cet héritage complexe se retrouve en bonne part dans la littérature espagnole des XVIe et XVIIe siècles et dans les proverbiers espagnols, judéo-espagnols et maghrébins contemporains. Si les grandes lignes de ces échanges sont connues, on ne sait rien de précis de la circulation effective de ces énoncés sapientiels brefs (notre unité de travail), des choix successifs faits par les traducteurs, des réinterprétations culturelles, ni du poids d'un emprunt par rapport à un autre. Les filiations des textes de sagesse et l'ordre des traductions sont sujets à caution, a fortiori celui des énoncés sapientiels brefs qu'ils contiennent. Ces énoncés sapientiels brefs n'ont pas fait l'objet d'une étude d'ensemble qui retrace leur circulation à travers les différentes langues (savantes et vernaculaires) de la Péninsule Ibérique, qui reconstruise les cheminements des textes et des traductions, les transformations des unités sapientielles qui en résultent, et qui rende compte, enfin, de leurs sources et de leur postérité. Le projet ALIENTO entend répondre à ces questions : il vise donc à calculer les concordances partielles ou totales des textes, leurs connections proches et éloignées afin de réévaluer les relations intertextuelles, en confrontant une ;t'aride quantité d'unités et en croisant des textes écrits dans des langues différentes. Le projet repose sur une collaboration interdisciplinaire étroite entre les chercheurs informaticiens (ATILF) et les spécialistes des textes et linguistes (Université de Lorraine, MSH Lorraine, INALCO et leur réseau international de collaborateurs). La collection ALIENTO met à la disposition des chercheurs les travaux effectués lors des rencontres annuelles et les Chient au courant de l'avancée du projet à travers la publication régulière des résultats obtenus. Ce numéro est consacré à une réflexion sur l'interprétation/réinterprétation, circulation, formulation/reformulation, traduction des concepts éthiques et moraux et leur utilisation dans la littérature sapientielle. La dernière section porte, plus spécifiquement, sur la sémantique des énoncés parémiques."--P. [4] of cover.

"The technology that allows the communication of ideas and information through an electronic medium (such as a computer or a television) has transformed when, where and how we learn. This book shows that tele-learning - making connections between people and resources by sending and receiving signals through carriers such as wire, cables and air, for learning-related purposes - is a multi-faceted phenomenon, using and affecting many different types of people, and offering us a special opportunity to develop new pedagogies and improve old ways of learning." "Tele-learning in a Digital World takes a thematic approach: It examines the many scenarios where tele-learning occurs, such as distance education, online situations (the Internet and the World Wide Web), professional development via application sharing, and more, than discusses those involved in tele-learning - from parents and teachers to professionals in education and telecommunications - and their major roles. It then reviews current pedagogical practice and identifies the new opportunities for improved learning brought by 'tele-technology'."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
