We will be talking about DiKe, digital editions, and TEI encoding. @teiconsortium.bsky.social

Next week, we'll be at the 38th AISG International Congress (Italian Association for the Study of Judaism), "Judaism: the coexistence of Mediterranean and European languages and cultures", which will be held in Palermo from September 8 to September 10. aisg.cise.unipi.it/AISG_01Home/...

Part 2 on segmentation of our ongoing series "From Paper to Screen" is out! Check it out now www.digitalkennicott.unito.it/whats-new#h....

Over the next few months we will dedicate a series of posts that will focus on each step in the workflow. Check out the first one on eScriptorium and image acquisition! www.digitalkennicott.unito.it/whats-new#h....

The main goal of @digikennicott.bsky.social is going *from paper to screen*, creating a digital edition of Kennicott's Vetus Testamentum Hebraicum. To do that we are using
eScriptorium and a 4-step workflow:

1. image acquisition
2. segmentation
3. transcription
4. parsing and encoding

One of the most innovative traits of Kennicott’s apparatus is its highly formalised structure with very little use of natural language (specifically, Latin). Wanna know more? Check our latest post! www.digitalkennicott.unito.it/whats-new#h....

The core of Kennicott’s unparalleled endeavor is the critical apparatus. This is where he collects the variants found in the 600+ mss and printed editions of the Hebrew Bible he collated (with help!).

With the project well underway, we're happy to share what we've been up to. DiKe is a UniTo & UniFi joint project. We are working on a TEI-compliant digital edition of Benjamin Kennicott's Vetus Testamentum Hebraicum. Check our website! www.digitalkennicott.unito.it/home
