A Framework for TEI-Based Scholarly Text Editions

In this paper, we describe an interdisciplinary project in which visualization techniques were developed for and applied to scholarly work from literary studies. The aim was to bring Christof Schöch's electronic edition of Bérardier de Bataut's Essai sur le récit (1776) to the web. This edition is based on the Text Encoding Initiative's XML-based encoding scheme (TEI P5, subset TEI-Lite). This now de facto standard applies to machine-readable texts used chiefly in the humanities and social sciences. The intention of this edition is to make the edited text freely available on the web, to allow for alternative text views (here original and modern/corrected text), to ensure reader-friendly annotation and navigation, to permit on-line collaboration in encoding and annotation as well as user comments, all in an open source, generically usable, lightweight package. These aims were attained by relying on a GPL-based, public domain CMS (Drupal) and combining it with XSL-Stylesheets and Java Script.

Digital multi-text editions from scratch to electronic performance. Transcription and collation routines transformed in a flexible database system

The poster demonstrates the preparatory steps of a digital multi-text edition that are abstracted from the experiences made in the Parzival Project, based at the University of Bern, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the University of Erlangen. This edition of Wolfram von Eschenbach’s German Grail novel, written shortly after 1200 and transmitted during several centuries in ca. hundred witnesses, has now been completed by more than a half of the textual corpus.

The poster demonstrates the preparatory steps of a digital multi-text edition that are abstracted from the experiences made in the Parzival Project, based at the University of Bern, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the University of Erlangen. This edition of Wolfram von Eschenbach’s German Grail novel, written shortly after 1200 and transmitted during several centuries in ca. hundred witnesses, has now been completed by more than a half of the textual corpus. As the text is transmitted in medieval manuscripts the witnesses have to be transcribed according to specific encoding rules. The transcriptions then are collated following certain ideas and concepts of how the transmission process could have developed. The transcriptions and collations finally have to be transferred to a digital edition that allows the users to explore the characteristics of single witnesses as well as the history of a text, which is delivered in variants and in different versions. A dynamically organized database offering various components and adapted to the needs of diverse user-profiles is nowadays the right tool for this purpose.

Celina Sabor de Cortazar : Vocación y docencia cervantina

El análisis de la figura de Celina Sabor de Cortazar no se reduce - como si esto fuea poco- a una edición argentina del Quijote, sino que se extiende a toda la producción cervantina con lúcidas publicaciones y su infatigable magisterio, a través del homenaje de una de sus alumnas.

El poema "De Iulio aucupe" de Juan de Verzosa

Presento aquí un poema del humanista hispano-latino Juan de Verzosa. El texto fue enviado por el autor en 1555, junto con una carta, a Jerónimo Zurita, y se conserva actualmente en la Biblioteca de la Real Academia de la Historia de Madrid (Ms.9/112, fols.535-536). Aparentemente trata de un amigo del autor llamado Julio aficionado a la caza de aves. Pero la lectura del poema a la luz de las Epístolas de Verzosa permite entrever la intención última del autor e incluso quién fue el ‘cazador’ Julio aludido.
