        Subject: Digital and the reading of altered epigraphic texts

Dear colleagues,

For those interested in the contribution of new technologies to the
reading of eroded, erased or hammered inscriptions, we announce the
publication of the volume
Numérique et lecture de textes épigraphiques altérés
edited by F. Comte and myself and published by UN@ Editions (Ausonius
Editions).

You can access the online version free of charge here:

       Abstract •••

Recently, new technologies and, in particular, 3D modelling, have made
their mark on the discipline of epigraphy. This development has taken
place simultaneously in a number of different institutions, whose
researchers have used a variety of different methods to acquire,
process, analyse and communicate data.

From this heterogeneous context, the present book takes up these
initial advances while addressing the current challenges. Beginning with
an overview of the work carried out since the adoption of these new
technologies up to the present day, it highlights a variety of case
studies, in an accessible way to uninitiated researchers. Through these
situations, it offers solutions tailored to the variety of working
conditions, support materials, type of engraving and level of erosion or
damage to the inscription, as each contribution constitutes a
methodological demonstration for one or more specific cases. In this
way, this book also serves as a guide for colleagues wishing to open up
to the use of these new tools.


Enjoy the reading
