We invite applications for a 4-day training workshop on digital editing
of epigraphic and papyrological texts, to be held in the Institute of
Classical Studies, London, April 28-May 1, 2014. The workshop will be
taught by Gabriel Bodard (KCL), Simona Stoyanova (Leipzig) and Charlotte
Tupman (KCL). There will be no charge for the teaching, but participants
will have to arrange their own travel and accommodation.
EpiDoc (epidoc.sf.net) is a set of guidelines for using TEI XML
(tei-c.org) for the encoding of inscriptions, papyri and other ancient
documentary texts. It has been used to publish digital projects
including the Inscriptions of Aphrodisias, the US Epigraphy Project,
Vindolanda Tablets Online and the Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri.
The workshop will introduce participants to the basics of XML markup and
give hands-on experience of tagging textual features and object
descriptions in TEI, as well as use of the tags-free Papyrological
Editor (papyri.info/editor).
No technical skills are required, but a working knowledge of Greek or
Latin, epigraphy or papyrology and the Leiden Conventions will be
assumed. The workshop is open to participants of all levels, from
graduate students to professors or professionals.
To apply for a place on this workshop please email
[log in to unmask] with a brief description of your reason for
interest and summarising your relevant skills and background, by Friday,
February 21st, 2014.
