Save the date! Upcoming #eeditiones #community meeting on Thursday, the 3rd of September at 17:00 CEST. @turska will demonstrate that @tei_publisher is meanwhile much more than a publishing platform and supports way more formats than "only" #TEI.

e-editiones community meeting: September 3 at 17:00 CEST

e-editiones – Society for Scholarly Digital Editions

Does anyone know of a #DH or #medieval #manuscripts funding programme that would fund a small project (3-12 months) from April next year? I unfortunately missed the announcements from earlier this year and the deadlines have passed. This is for a programmer on my team who needs further funding.

Armenian #ManuscriptBirds 😍
A smol 13th century Byzantine psalter. #newacq #newacquisition

I'd like to lodge a formal complaint with whomever is in charge of #Armenian literature, because we have the following three authors:
Vardan Anets'i (10th/11th cent)
Vardan Arwelts'i (13th cent)
Vardan Aygekts'i (12th/13th cent)

On a related note, disambiguation is always fun.

Just gonna throw this out there: does anyone happen to have #PDFs of the "Heritage of #Armenian Literature" volumes (published at Wayne State U Press)?
Publication alert: a festschrift in honor of Andreas Jückel, perhaps the foremost authority on the #Syriac #Bible in the world. I was very pleased to contribute to this volume, because Andreas was so kind and generous to me when I was writing my Master's thesis on the Philoxenian version.
Looking at #Arabic #manuscripts with my students today. This is a stunning frontispiece from @subugoe Cod MS arab. 190, containing the Kitāb al-wāfīya fi šarḥ al-kāfīya from 1478, collated with the author’s own copy. @historikerinnen @medievodons @histodons #palaeography
Here is another lovely #Arabic #manuscript from @subugoe (8 Cod. MS pers. 14), containing the Šerḥ-i Sabḥat al-abrār, a literary text. This is from the 17th or 18th century. @historikerinnen @histodons @medievodons #palaeography
