ABSTRACT
In the framework of the ERC-2021-StG project “Polyphonic Philosophy: Logic
in the Long Twelfth Century (c. 1070-1220) for a New Horizon in the History
of Philosophy”, a digital resource will be developed dealing with
manuscripts and commentaries on Porphyry’s Isagoge, Aristotle’s Categories
and De interpretatione, and Boethius’s De divisione and De differentiis
topicis. In particular, the product will have two main and intertwined
components: a digital catalogue of manuscripts, and a scholarly digital
edition of certain texts, selected from the manuscripts. Modelling will be
followed by the development of the infrastructure and data management.
Later on, a system and interface to visualise data will be developed in
order to consult data, analyse data through searching and indexing, and to
produce the final publication. In this context, the research fellow will
have to develop a data model for describing and enhancing data concerning
digital textual criticism and the analysis of manuscripts. In particular,
the data model will be based on web technologies such as XML/TEI, IIIF, RDF
and Linked Open Data.The research fellow will work in close contact with
other team members, including experts in codicology and paleography, Latin
textual criticism, and history of mediaeval philosophy. He or she will be
responsible for the digital and IT aspects of the product meta-analysis
thereof. He or she will also collaborate with IT-staff for the most
technical aspects, and with scholars from the Venice Centre for Digital and
Public Humanities (VeDPH). Proven expertise in digital humanities is
therefore required.
