The annual days of Cluster 5b and Cluster 7 of @biblissima.bsky.social
are in full swing in the beautiful Sète. Today we managed to successfully automatically align the Old Norse, French, and Latin versions of Physiologus and have a walk on the beach. ❤️ Life is good!

So our open access edited volume was used as training data for generative AI? Great, maybe it will push the material philological understandings of Old Norse literature into main stream.

I’m thrilled to announce that my latest article, “A digital perspective on the role of a stemma in material-philological transmission studies”, has just been published in print in Studier i Nordisk. For those keen to read it now, the digital preprint is available here:

Hmmm… Would this help anyone with guessing this secret location where over 500 manuscripts held at the national library of Portugal were produced? 🇵🇹❤️ #portugal

After two weeks of talking about #AI and #manuscripts at #imc2025 and #dh2025 I went to check out some locations where the manuscripts were produced. Can you guess this place in Portugal?

Are you at #DH2025 and interested in pre-modern data?! Come by to the session on #openaccess, #medieval #manuscripts and #digitalhumanities. I’ll be talking about ATR/HTR/OCR for #OldNorse.
The session starts at 16:00 in Aud B3 and we have AC. :)

We are closing #s1241 #imc2025 with @nkivilcimyavuz.bsky.social talking about her forthcoming open access book on teaching medieval manuscripts in the digital age inspired by her research-driven teaching and teaching-driven research for example on the Ripon fragments held at Leeds.

Had tons of fun learning about #computervision & #manuscriptstudies through the backstage of "Interpretable Deep Learning Approach for Script Type..."(arxiv.org/pdf/2408.11150) by Malamatenia Vlachou-Efstathiou et al. Huge thanks to @carolinevandyck.bsky.social for organising this great workshop!

Are you curious how the life of #oldnorse #philologist and #digitalhumanist is at @psl-univ.bsky.social ? Not too bad! Today on my way to the dedicated Nordic library I passed by a part of the city wall from the 12th century & while at the library found out who used Rimur fyrir 1600 before me. 😊

Had great time visiting the University Library in Wroclaw’s (Biblioteka UWr) special colls & their exhibit celebrating 1000 yrs since the coronation of Bolesław I the Brave, the first king of Poland, featuring a leaf from the Queen Sophia’s Bible, the oldest translation into Polish (1450s).

I had great pleasure talking about creating ground truths for #ATR (automatic text recognition) and #OldNorse scholarly editing under this splendid ceiling in Venice. ❤️Thanks a lot to Paola & Chiara for the invitation and organising the event on #manuscriptstudies, #philology & #digitalhumanities!

Our students of TNAH (MA in #digitalhumanities at @ecoledeschartes.bsky.social) had their last day of classes today, before heading out into the wild for their internships. I’m touched they remembered their overly-enthusiastic #TEI-XML teacher & stopped by to say bye🥹 Good luck with the internships!
