Something of interest to all Latinists of any period.

The Centre for Computing in the Humanities and the Digital Classicist
would like to invite all those interested to a workshop on the
CD-Version of the Thesaurus linguae Latinae.
Dr Bianca Schröder (Munich), will be giving a seminar titled: A
Traditional Dictionary in a New Medium (abstract at
http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/legacy/tmp/seminar/06-07/seminar_schroeder.html)
as part of the Humanities Computing series at CCH on 15th February at 1 pm.
In addition to this Dr Bianca Schröder will be running two workshops
to be held in the seminar room at CCH:
13:00 to 16:00 on Wednesday 14th February
and
14:00 to 17:00 on Friday 16th February
Workshop description:
The Thesaurus linguae Latinae is the most comprehensive dictionary of
the Latin language; it covers every author and work from the first
items of Latin up to 600 AD. The long-term project, situated at the
'Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, took up the work in 1894 and
the first fascicle was printed in 1900. At the present moment, the
staff at Munich are treating words beginning with the letter 'p'. The
articles are still published in printed form, but they are now also
available in a CD-Version.
After an introduction into the highly elaborate, principally
dichotomic, structure of the articles and a short exercise in using
the articles, the participants of the workshop will have the
opportunity to work on a lemma by themselves. We will look at material
illustrating the Latin verb 'computare' and think about the general
questions of lexicography : about the meaning of a word in different
contexts, about the various syntactic usages, about the change of
meaning and usage throughout the times, and about the presentation of
the development of a word in an TLL-article. One important issue will
be to compare the printed edition with the digital version and to
discuss the questions and needs that can be served by a digital Latin
dictionary.
