Sheraton Centre Toronto VIP Room
An all-day Digital Classics workshop featuring presentations, demonstrations, papers, and a concluding panel.

Almost all research, teaching, and scholarly communication in ancient studies today bears the imprint of digital technology in some way, yet the growing number of projects and the rapid rate of technological development present a distinct challenge for scholars who are interested in taking advantage of advances in the digital humanities.

This workshop is a space for students and scholars to interact with a variety of digital techniques and digital projects of broad application, providing participants the opportunity to engage in hands-on, peer-based learning.

Experienced digital humanists from various disciplines within ancient studies have developed demonstration curricula and will coordinate teams of trained demonstrators for each workshop station.The emphasis will be on learning to do things of immediate utility to scholarship and pedagogy. The workshop is comprised of six demonstrations; together they will present techniques and projects dedicated to: mapping; 3D modeling; text tagging, annotating, searching, and editing; intertext discovery in Latin and Greek; ancient literary manuscripts; graffiti; epigraphy; and Pompeii. We will also present two showcases that exploit new computational and digital methods for research and pedagogy in traditional areas of interest, e.g., ancient history and the reception of classical drama. Finally, there will be a panel discussion at the end of the workshop dedicated to discussing issues related to the use of new digital technologies in research, teaching, and scholarly communication.

Vexillum: The Undergraduate Journal of Classical and Medieval Studies
http://www.vexillumjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cropped-vexillumbanner_final_9_smaller3.png
Vexillum is an undergraduate journal that supports and promotes undergraduate scholarship in the fields of Classical and Medieval Studies, and accepts scholarly papers by undergraduate students written on a wide range of topics: history, literature, philosophy, archaeology, art history, sociology, philology, and linguistics. Sponsored by the Medieval Studies Program at Yale University, Vexillum provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to submit outstanding papers for peer review from other undergraduates. Papers address aspects of the cultures and civilizations of Europe, the Mediterranean, the Near East, and Central Asia between 3,600 B.C.E. and 1500 C.E.
As Vexillum has an open submission policy, the journal accepts submissions throughout the year. We publish an annual volume featuring the 8-12 most deserving of these submissions every fall. Undergraduates looking to submit their papers should read our Submission Guidelines prior to submission. We encourage them to submit unpublished articles with original ideas and interdisciplinary research that will foster scholarly discourse and distinguish themselves from their peers.
Since 2010 it has been our aim to provide a venue for scholars early in their careers to showcase their work and contribute their fresh voices and perspectives to the academic world at large. If you would like to be involved in the journal’s work and receive e-mail updates regarding calls for papers and upcoming publications, please send us an e-mail at vexillumcontact@gmail.com.

Table of Contents

The Monastic Symbolism of Prostitution in Late-Thirteenth-Century FranceSean Loritz, Sarah Lawrence College
The motif of the reformed harlot is prevalent in medieval saints’ lives, but its implications are problematic. This paper begins to examine these implications by contrasting the lives of Mary of Egypt and Mary Magdalene, which circulated in France during the late thirteenth century, with the lives of contemporaneous women in poverty to find that they do not in fact resemble one another. Rather, this paper argues for a reinterpretation of the prostitute as an example for—but more importantly as a symbol of—the monks who comprised its audience. It then examines the impact of this symbol’s usage on gender and sexuality within the context of faith, including a monastic ideal of androgyny and erotic overtones in the desire for Christ, particularly in the form of communion. Finally, it contrasts the application of the symbol of the prostitute to monks and nuns, finding that the latter suffer from their affiliation in cases such as those of the Beguine sect, further emphasizing the gap between the saints and actual women, prostitutes or not, as well as their resemblance to male clerics.
Public and Private Layers of Clothing and Tongue: Marie de France’s Medieval Werewolf as PalimpsestKerri-Leigh Buckingham, St. Thomas University, New Brunswick
Marie de France’s twelfth-century lai Bisclavret reveals the significance of the use of transparent technologies to construct a paradigm of the public versus private werewolf, human versus beast, Self versus Other, and illustrates the importance of these technologies to social perceptions and to one’s assertion of one’s own humanity, revealing that the human and the werewolf are not as different as the human attempts to profess. Both the human and werewolf are palimpsests: beings constructed from perceptions based on the addition and removal of layers of speech and clothing.
Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History: Eleanor of Aquitaine’s Political Career and Its Significance to NoblewomenRita Sausmikat, Lycoming College
Eleanor of Aquitaine played an indirect role in the formation of medieval and early modern Europe through her resources, wit, and royal connections. The wealth and land the duchess acquired through her inheritance and marriages gave her the authority to financially support religious institutions and the credibility to administrate. Because of her inheritance, Eleanor was a desirable match for Louis VII and Henry II, giving her the title and benefits of queenship. Between both marriages, Eleanor produced ten children, nine of whom became kings and queens or married into royalty and power. The majority of her descendants married royalty or aristocrats across the entire continent, acknowledging Eleanor as the “Grandmother of Europe.” Her female descendants constituted an essential part of court, despite the limitations of women’s authority. Eleanor’s lifelong political career acted as a guiding compass for other queens to follow.  She influenced her descendants and successors to follow her famous example in the practices of intercession, property rights, and queenly role. Despite suppression of public authority, women were still able to shape the landscape of Europe, making Eleanor of Aquitaine a trailblazer who transformed politics for future aristocratic women.
Defining Excellence: A Grid of Jerome’s “Good” and “Bad” Virgin, Spouse, and Widow
Maria S. E. Johnson, University of South Florida
By late antiquity, the status of women fell into three divisions: marriage, widowhood, or celibacy. In the eyes of intellectual early Christians, these states were not of equal merit. Specifically, Jerome viewed virginity as the most holy state, then widowhood, followed by marriage. However, his deprecation of marriage can appear so potent and his asceticism so extreme that modern scholars struggle to provide a balanced analysis of Jerome’s works. The focus of scholars on these two aspects of Jerome’s works restricts them from the wider spectrum of judgments Jerome has about the above three states. Analyzing his premier works on virginity — Letter 22, Against Jovinian, and Against Helvidius — I will show that Jerome offers readers not only a three-tier hierarchy, but also an elaborate “grid,” identifying the “good” and “bad” virgin, spouse, and widow. Additionally, I will demonstrate the necessity for this detailed grid by arguing that its components were evident in Jerome’s construction of Paula’s chaste sanctity in his hagiography of her. The nuance and detail Jerome infuses into all of his works should be equally appreciated in his judgments on not only virginity, but also widowhood and marriage.
Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: An Analysis of the Thessaloniki EpitaphiosJudith Shanika Pelpola, Stanford University
The Thessaloniki Epitaphios, a late Byzantine embroidered textile, is an important piece to consider in the study of Byzantine art and its role in liturgy. In this paper, I undertake a stylistic and formalistic analysis of the inscriptions, depiction of the humanity of Christ, and treatment of time in the Thessaloniki Epitaphios to determine if the Epitaphios had liturgical rather than simply symbolic functions, thus helping contextualize Byzantine art within the Western canon. Analyzing the potential for the liturgical function of this piece additionally sheds light onto how Byzantine art itself should be classified with regards to the Western canon.
The Troubadour’s Woman: Mirroring the Male Gaze in Early Medieval LiteratureThai Catherine Matthews, Wellesley College
The famed “lady” of the medieval courtly love narrative is introduced into medieval literature by the French troubadour poets of the twelfth century. They come singing her praises, conjuring with their poems and their songs the ideal—and original—cruel, fair mistress of affections. This is the domna, an archetype upheld in later literary tradition by famous figures like Isolde and Guinevere. The domna is a complicated figure; she is at once chaste and erotic, married and yet destined to be worshipped only by men who are not her husband. The domna is accorded tremendous power from the beginning—if the troubadours who bring her about are to be believed, she controls their hearts and their appetites, their minds and their souls and whether or not they live. But is this power a power at all? Or is this figure a mere construction of the male gaze, manipulated and agitated in turn so that these male authors can look back on the true objects of their affection—themselves? The domna is ultimately a canvas upon which the troubadours paint their own self-portraits, illustrations of pious sacrifice, romanticized struggles, and introspections on the concept of love that can only persist so long as the domna herself remains distant from the lover, absent from the passion she is said to inspire and consequently stripped of any ability to respond.

Carta Archeologica di Roma

On-line la Carta Archeologica di Roma

E' consultabile sulla piattaforma web il lavoro preparatorio della Carta Archeologica di Roma, conservato nel patrimonio documentario dell'Archivio Storico a Palazzo Altemps, edito sotto forma di ebook a cura di Luigia Attilia.
Per la realizzazione dell'edizione on line, è stata effettuata la digitalizzazione delle sei tavole originali in scala 1:2000, rimaste fino ad ora inedite, in formato pdf e di oltre 3000 schede descrittive dei ritrovamenti. Ai fini della consultazione sono stati creati degli hyperlink dai numeri e simboli indicati nelle tavole verso le relative schede. Le innumerevoli schede non numerate e quindi non direttamente collegate alle tavole, compilate nel tempo ad integrazione del progetto, sono consultabili aprendo i file che le raggruppano per settore topografico (tavola, Suburbio, via, località).
Il progetto iniziale del 1947 prevedeva l'edizione di una Carta, alla scala di 1:2.500 divisa in nove tavole, numerate da I a IX. Le prime tre tavole furono edite tra il 1962 e il 1977, a cura dell'Istituto Geografico Militare. Nel 2005 fu elaborata una riedizione della tavola prima, nell'ambito della collana Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae, Supplementum I, 1, a cura di M. A. Tomei e P. Liverani, (edizione Quasar).
Il materiale propedeutico alla compilazione della Carta Archeologica di Romaè costituito dalle notizie dei ritrovamenti, complete di riferimenti a fonti bibliografiche e archivistiche aggiornati solo intorno all'anno 1960. Pur costituendo quindi tale materiale il punto di partenza fondamentale per le ricerche sulla topografia di Roma antica, occorre sempre operare un'integrazione dei dati.
Consultando preliminarmente il quadro d'unione, è possibile individuare la tavola sulla quale compiere la ricerca e successivamente visionare l'elenco dei file corrispondenti alle tavole. Effettuando un click sul numero di riferimento (IV-IX) comparirà la tavola selezionata, suddivisa al suo interno in nove settori da lettere alfabetiche, da A ad I, indicate in trasparenza, secondo lo schema del progetto originario.
Passando quindi con il cursore sui punti luminosi sulla mappa, l'utente avrà la possibilità di cliccare sul numero del ritrovamento e consultare le schede correlate. Tra parentesi, accanto al file pdf di ogni scheda, è stato riportato anche il riferimento ad un precedente schema di suddivisione dei settori. I numeri che non si illuminano sono relativi a schede mancanti. Il lavoro ha comportato, in fase preliminare, un controllo capillare e un riordino generale delle schede, al fine di garantire la più corretta esecuzione della riproduzione digitale senza compromettere l'ordinamento originario del complesso documentario. Al termine del progetto è stato inoltre effettuato un ulteriore riscontro della giusta corrispondenza tra simbolo e scheda. Altre informazioni utili alla storia del progetto, nonché le abbreviazioni bibliografiche e archivistiche riportate nelle schede e la simbologia della Carta, sono reperibili nell'Introduzione dell'ebook.

Trials in the Late Roman Republic
Trials in the Late Roman Republic: 149 BC to 50 BC is a tabulation, as exhaustive as possible, of the known legal facts pertaining to all trials and possible trials, criminal and civil, during the last century of the Roman republic for which some information has survived.

The first edition was compiled by Michael C. Alexander and published in 1990 by the University of Toronto Press; a second edition is in preparation by a team of collaborators under Alexander's direction.

This Web site supports work on the revised edition. The public information available here includes:

    electronic versions of the first edition of TLRR, in HTML and XML
    a simple search interface for the first-edition data; an XPath search form is also available.
    sample list-all and editing interfaces (the 'Dexter' interfaces) for the first-edition data.
    information about the TLRR2 project and the people involved

Explore our Greek Manuscripts Online
The British Library has now digitised and published online more than 900 Greek manuscripts. Alongside the digital collections of the Bibliotheca Vaticana and the Laurenziana in Florence, our online holding is one of the largest such repositories in the world. Available are high resolution colour images of each manuscript, including flyleaves and bindings, with an up-to-date description of its content and codicological features, and an extensive bibliography.

Add_ms_37007_fblefr
Embossed silver and gold plate, depicting Chirst flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist, surrounded by symbols of the Evangelists, from the binding of a 13th-century Gospel book: Add MS 37007

The British Library's online collections of Greek manuscripts range from precious early manuscripts of Classical literature and science to Syriac-Greek palimpsests to the most precious monuments of Byzantine book illustrations and18th-century Greek translations of Moliere. This diverse content can now be explored online in three different ways.

Add_ms_19352_f027v
Depiction of the call of David to be a King by Samuel, in the Theodore Psalter, Constantinople, 1066: Add MS 19352, f. 27v

Using the Library's Explore the Archives and Manuscripts, you can search for any names, places and keywords — including authors, titles, scribes and owners — in the descriptions of hundreds of Greek manuscripts. Once an item has been identified, a link (“I want this”) enables the user to order the original manuscript to the Reading Room in London or to view its full digital version online.

Another way to explore our Greek manuscripts is via the British Library’s Digitised Manuscripts site, which is also searchable by using various keywords. After identifying the chosen manuscript, you can immediately start browsing the images of its pages, which once would only have been accessible to scholars visiting the Library in person.

A third way to explore our digitised Greek manuscripts is by using the Library’s new Greek Manuscripts website, which offers a free guided tour throughout the collections. Let our experts guide you through their richly illustrated introductions to themes such as Art, Religion and Scholarship.

Papyrus_137
The so-called Anonymus Londiniensis papyrus, dating from the 1st century CE, contains a selection of ancient medical texts and is the most important medical papyrus to survive from antiquity: Papyrus 137

Most importantly, for those who would like to know which Greek manuscripts have been digitised at the British Library, a comprehensive list with hyperlinks is available here: Download Digitised Greek manuscripts in the British Library

A Prosography of Ancient Antioch - A Visualisation in Progress

A Prosography of Ancient Antioch - A Visualisation in Progress
The most comprehensive source of prosographical material on Ancient Antioch was undoubtedly its most voluminous writer, Libanius. His trove of writings spawned a more narrowly focussed work by the French expert on Antioch, Paul Petit. In this volume he specifically focussed upon the public functionaries that Libanius mentioned in his letters and orations. This work is:

Petit Paul. Les fonctionnaires dans l'oeuvre de Libanius : analyse prosopographique. Préface de André Chastagnol et de Jean
Martin. Besançon : Université de Franche-Comté, 1994. pp. 5-286. (Annales littéraires de l'Université de Besançon, 541)
doi : 10.3406/ista.1994.2515

Which is available here on the Persee website:

When I first read this work it struck me that here was the potential foundation for "populating" the Antiochepedia with more characters than just Libanius, Chrysostom and Malalas. Here we have administrators, senators, patrons, clients and a host of the elites that peopled the corridors of power in Antioch and Constantinople and dined at the symposia of Daphne in its heyday. 

Finding the correct software to visualise this social network was tough and after some false starts I came upon GEPHI, a free network visualisation software which suited my purposes. I had even at one point thought of using Linkedin for my purposes. 

Using Petit as a base and overlaying the other works dealing with Libanius' interactions I have created an initial database and started on bolting on names and linked up the relationships, even if tenuous, between those in Libanius' relationship with the good, bad and indifferent of his times.   

The basic index of Petit's book provided me with the basic "one-to-many" relationship between Libanius and the 299 characters that Petit awards with entries. Now the task is to interconnect the personalities from the specific entries and include players without entries (Julian, Chrysostom and many less well-known figures). Moving on to Norman's work on the Antiochene booktrade we get mention of more humble non-administrators, like the copyist Maeonius. Such works will add extra names to the mix.

Rather than a work in process, I call this a Visualisation in Progress. I welcome others to the cause. Click here for the first output of a few hours works.

Peloponnesian War Propaganda: Classical Athens vs. Corinth

Authors:
Katherine Petrole, MA Museum Studies
Steinmetz Family Foundation Museum Fellow, Corinth Excavations, American School of Classical Studies at Athens

Dr. Ioulia Tzonou-Herbst
Assistant Director, Corinth Excavations, American School of Classical Studies at Athens

Contributor:
Nancy Antonellis
High school Latin and Classical Humanities teacher, Brockton, Massachusetts
Overview: This experience will introduce students to the Peloponnesian War (5 th c. BCE), which forever changed the political landscape of Ancient Greece and was one of the most significant wars in the history of the world. The end of the war signaled the end of the golden age of ancient Greece and paved the way for Macedonian rule. Interpreting and analyzing primary sources for both sides of the conflict, students will be asked to think about the perspective of both city- states at the start of the war. Students will take into account two different sources of evidence we use to create history: literary and archaeological evidence. Texts include in them the bias of the author, in this case Thucydides and his love of Athens. Archaeological evidence is in need of interpretation by the archaeologist or the historian who is called to make sense of the past, so the bias in this case is on the part of a person far removed from the past.
Goal: Students will use and interpret evidence to make meaning of the legacy and history of the Peloponnesian War by studying text from an Athenian perspective and archaeological evidence from Corinth supporting the Peloponnesian perspective.
Mission: The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) advances the knowledge of Greece in all periods, as well as other areas of the classical world, by training young scholars, sponsoring and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The ASCSA is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all the American archaeological research, and seeks to support the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage.

To access maps and geospatial data specifically, choose “CAMEL” from the first drop-down list.
The Integrated Database does not yet include a spatial search function or map interface. For tips on how to use text-based queries to locate specific datasets, see the Oriental Institute Collections Search Wiki. Once you have located a georeferenced dataset of interest, an interactive map with up-to-date satellite imagery embedded in the dataset’s page will allow you to see the spatial coverage of the dataset.
CAMEL (https://oi.uchicago.edu/camel) is a research laboratory at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago that is dedicated to the long-durée study of Middle Eastern landscapes, environments and cultural heritage, primarily through archaeological fieldwork, satellite imagery analysis, and spatial analysis within Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
CAMEL’s database includes over 20,000 unique objects of spatial data that relate to the archaeology, anthropology, and history of the Middle East, almost 9000 of which are now publicly available. The main strengths of our collection are:
  • Digitized and georeferenced versions of historical maps held by the Oriental Institute
  • Historical aerial photographs of particular archaeological sites and landscapes
  • Georeferenced historical satellite imagery covering large swaths of the Middle East, primarily from the Cold War-era Corona spy satellite program
