Hofmeister XIX

Posted by arts-humanities.net on March 29, 2015

Research on 19th-century music is hampered by insufficient bibliographical control of printed music. However, the Leipzig publisher Hofmeister published monthly or bi-monthly reports (Monatsberichte) on music publications that permit datings of large numbers of prints after 1829 when the series began: these constitute the single largest inventory of music prints produced in the 19th century. The Monatsberichte are limited by the form in which they were set out and by the fact that no single run of the series exists anywhere in the world.

Posted by arts-humanities.net on March 29, 2015

The project has four key aims:

1. To create an online resource uniting the original impressions of Chopin's first editions in an unprecedented virtual collection

2. To develop complex textual interlinking of this virtual collection and relevant excerpts of the Annotated Catalogue of Chopin's First Editions (co-authored by Christophe Grabowski and John Rink, to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2005)

3. To provide comparative text-analytical commentary on the multiple first editions in this archive

ICTGuides

Posted by arts-humanities.net on March 29, 2015

The ICTGuides project is now incorporated within this project (arts-humanities.net).

Two developments gave birth to the ICTGuides database: an increase in the use of ICT in arts and humanities research and an awareness that information on how ICT is used in arts-humanities research is not readily available online. The resulting disparity was largely seen to have detrimental effects on ICT-based scholarship as sharing computational expertise among scholars is a precursor to promoting innovation within the field.

Inscriptions of Aphrodisias project

Posted by arts-humanities.net on March 29, 2015

The aim is to publish as many as possible of the Greek inscriptions from Aphrodisias in Caria online, in order both to provide far fuller documentation than a book allows, and to meet the problems of the dissemination of expensive publications.
In so doing, we aim to develop and establish technological standards (using TEI compliant XML) which other epigraphers can use; we are trying to discuss the project with as many experts as possible, in the UK, US and Europe.

Line-by-line bibliographical database of Wolfram von Eschenbach's 'Parzival'

Posted by arts-humanities.net on March 29, 2015

The intention is to produce a detailed line-by-line bibliographical database on Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival, arguably the most important and complex work of medieval German literature. Owing partly to the vast secondary literature on Parzival and partly to its linguistic complexity, the need has constantly been expressed for an up-to-date detailed line-by-line commentary on the whole of Wolfram’s Grail romance. Some individual commentaries have been published within the last twenty years on portions of the work (e.g. David N.

The Historical Thesaurus of English (HTE)

Posted by arts-humanities.net on March 29, 2015

The Historical Thesaurus of English is the first historical thesaurus to be compiled for any of the world's languages. It includes almost the entire recorded vocabulary of English from Old English to the modern period, taken from the Oxford English Dictionary and dictionaries of Old English. The distinctive, semantically-structured hierarchy of the HTE data allows scholars access to material in a uniquely flexible manner, making it an invaluable resource to historians and linguists in particular.
