Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this course which will take in the form of a workshop, is to provide a basic knowledge on EpiDoc-XML. Students will learn how to edit inscriptions and papyri in EpiDoc and how to use FrontEnd applications and existing databases. An introduction to EpiDoc-XML and Digital Epigraphy and Papyrology will be followed by practical exercises on the digital editing of papyri and inscriptions. One day will be completely devoted to the practice in papyri.info, one to the practice in the MAPPOLA Database (mappola.eu). The course will be held together with Dr. James Cowey (Universität Heidelberg), expert in Digital Humanities and Digital Papyrology.
