Subject: Classics@18 special issue: Ancient Manuscripts and Virtual Research Environments (SNSF MARK16)
Dear colleagues,
We are glad to announce to you the publication of a Classics@ special issue
about ancient manuscripts and virtual research environments. The 17 papers are
issued from the first SNSF MARK16 project conference, hold online from Lausanne
(CH) in September 2020.
https://classics-at.chs.harvard.edu/volume/classics18-ancient-manuscripts-and-
virtual-research-environments/
This volume of Classics@ explores and analyses a methodological turn in ancient
studies: the practice of presenting harvested data in ancient manuscripts within
virtual research environments (VREs). What changes when research on ancient
manuscripts occurs in a VRE, especially in early Jewish and Christian
literature, New Testament, and Classical works? Does it matter if we undertake
research in a digital medium rather than in a traditional print context? How
does working with digital images and born-digital data intersect with the
traditional print mentalities that have until recently defined philological
research? Because VREs offer wide and usually free access to diverse information
regardless of one’s geographical location, they continue to have an outsized
influence on the research landscape of the humanities in more complex ways.
A big thanks to all the colleagues who have participated to this publication.
Kind greetings,
Claire Clivaz and Garrick Allen
