I’m preparing the next session for my monographic course on Cervantes’ Quijote (@univbrest.bsky.social) and just rediscovered this reply by Don Quijote’s to someone who sees him as his old, 'sane' self: «Yo sé quién soy», respondió Don Quijote, «y sé que puedo ser…».

The latest #ChrysoCollate update brings a new variant graph view! It’s not a game changer since the main interface is already awesome, but it’s definitely shiny and fun to use.

After seven years in Madrid (including two commuting to Salamanca), I’ve left Spain, feeling sad for the friends I’ve left behind. Sharing some shots from the long drive north and my new home in Brest.

Estaba leyendo un libro sobre la historia del español publicado por Peter Lang hasta que me topé con que Numancia estaba en el valle del Guadalquivir. Su destino es el contenedor de papel.

Not *exactly* Estoria de Espanna, but I'm very grateful to the British Academy/Leverhulme Trust and the Royal Society for an APEX grant to study the DNA of Alfonsine manuscripts!

Unsurprisingly, not a single digital humanities project was funded by the AEI this year. Disappointed, but not surprised.

El grupo de Filología Digital de @uva-es.bsky.social en conjunción con el HSMS (@fgagojover.bsky.social y @duquedevillena.bsky.social ) hemos creado un nuevo modelo para manuscritos castellanos. Las maquína dicen que tiene una tasa de éxito superior 97%. Aquí dejo una muestra con un manuscrito de 7P

Proofs (July 2025), published by Dec 2025, of our paper on HTR Model for Old Spanish Incunabula. It was created for @transkribus.bsky.social , but since May2025 it also works in eScriptorium.

One of the harshest critiques of New Philology I’ve come across (delivered by a sharp writer who, at one point, also went after my advisor): "In truth, the fetishization of the manuscript does not follow Dagenais’ own reasoning…

Now moving on to something else: checking the transcription of Calila e Dimna done with #CATMuSmedieval, and being thoroughly entertained by the illustrations.

It took me a while to draw this stemma, only to lose the file and have to recreate it from scratch. It might be a bit niche, but after a year of collation, I'm happy to finally have it.

As from today,#7PartidasDigital project comes to its end. It’s was born 11 years ago, when I came across a bunch of ms. fragments. We’ve raised the list of known copies from 80 up to over 100. We’ve located stolen mss. We’ve learnt to use HTR, even built our own #eScriptorium server.

I just (re)discovered a privilege issued by Sancho IV in 1285 (it originally belonged to the Archivo de Osuna, and a modern copy exists in the Archivo Histórico Nacional). The original was sold at some point and ended up in a big US university. Its most remarkable feature is Sancho's lead seal.

Joy the world! At @uva-es.bsky.social we have trained a model that runs in eScriptorium. It deals with Gothic Print in Spanish. It performs as good as our model for @transkribus.bsky.social does. Left eScriptorium, right Transkribus. The good new is that it can develop abbreviations, and mark them.
