Subject: New: "Colloquia familiaria: a selection"
"Colloquia familiaria: a selection" is a digital archive consisting of
several colloquia by Erasmus with introductory essays, interpretive
questions, notes, as well as a brief discussion of current standards in
electronic publication. Created by Jennifer Nelson, a University of
Kentucky graduate student in Classics and Library and Information
Science, this publication was intended to serve a number of purposes:
first and foremost, we wanted to introduce intermediate Latin students
to Erasmus' colloquia. Beyond that, the goal was to showcase TEI-XML as
a text-encoding practice that can increase the likelihood of long-term
preservation of digital documents in the humanities, and that can
accommodate the high standards of resource description found in library
MARC (machine-readable cataloging) records. At present, this collection
includes an excerpt from the initial "Formulae," plus "A Lesson in
Manners," "The Girl with No Interest in Marriage," "Inns," and "The
Abbot and the Learned Lady". We do invite submissions, however, as we
hope that this archive will continue to grow through the contributions
of other Erasmus enthusiasts. This project was completed under the
editorial supervision of Jane Phillips and Ross Scaife (Classics,
University of Kentucky), with additional technical advising from Joseph
B. Miller (Library and Information Science, University of Kentucky).
All of these materials reside in a single TEI-conformant XML file whose
presentation on the web in HTML format has been effected via TEI-XSL
(release 3.0).
