Thursday 13 Nov is our next talk. This one is a bit special because our Chair, Mike Haken, is talking about A New Digital Map of Roman Britain: how to access it, how to use it and what comes next.

It's a huge step forward that's taken a decade to develop

Très content de voir cette nouvelle leçon sur l’utilisation d’OpenRefine par @pascaliensis.bsky.social! La manipulation de données est de plus en plus à la portée de tous grâce à ce type d’outil (et dans mon cas pour la réconciliation avec Wikidata)

Yeah they are aware of the problem, should be fixed shortly (hopefully)

Thank you for the tip! I am more in charge of the TEI encoding so I don’t know yet every aspect of Isidore’s editions, but will definitely integrate this numbering system as well as it seems pretty simple

As we are focusing now on the Letters that were not edited by Évieux, we will stick to Migne’s numbering, but it is very likely that we will try to incorporate Évieux in the future!

Finally announced, the Online Coinage of Ostrogothic Italy: numismatics.org/coi/, a collaboration between IKMK Berlin (prepared the data) and the ANS (hosting). There are 720 coins linked to 120 types, excellent photographic coverage, mostly from Berlin and the BM #classicsbluesky

Really interesting stuff! In the next few months, we intend to incorporate the PG edition of Isidore's Letters into the Patristic Text Archive. We also plan in the eventual future to use HTR to access some manuscripts containing these letters.
