Since its inception over 20 years ago, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Roman de la Rose</i> Digital Library has
been enabling scholars to produce high-quality research based on over 130
digitized manuscripts of the famous 13<sup>th</sup>-century narrative by
Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun. We are now about to launch our latest
version of the site, featuring an International Image Interoperability
Framework (IIIF) compliant viewer that will support enhanced interaction with
manuscript images.<o:p></o:p></div>

We are seeking submissions that present scholarship based on
digitized images of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Roman de la Rose</i>,
or that offer a theoretical take on using such images for researching or
teaching the narrative, its miniatures, or its manuscripts. How has the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rose </i>Digital Library been used in
research and teaching? What scholarship has resulted from being able to access
this wealth of digitized images? How has being able to compare multiple images
led to a greater understanding of medieval literary and artistic, and in what
ways might such comparisons skew or obscure understanding if we are not
mindful? How might such a resource be further developed to enhance our
appreciation of this important narrative and promote new avenues of
investigation?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Last July we reported that t</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">he Johns Hopkins University’s Sheridan Libraries, in
partnership with University College London’s Centre for Editing Lives and
Letters (CELL), and the Princeton University Library, had been awarded a
$488,000 grant from the </span><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation</b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> to implement “The Archaeology of Reading in Early Modern Europe.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">They can now announce that their <a href="http://archaeologyofreading.org/" target="_blank">website</a> is up and running. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">This new digital humanities research initiative is exploring historical reading
practices through the lens of manuscript annotations preserved in early printed
books. </span><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Winston Tabb, Sheridan Dean of University Libraries and Museums, </b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">explains:</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> “Renaissance readers left us a wealth of material to investigate. This kind of deep discovery work would not be possible without the combined expertise of an international team of humanists and technologists bringing a broad range of expertise together, and we look forward to sharing what they uncover with the world.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The project builds upon several decades of </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">humanistic research that has focused upon the Printing Revolution of the sixteenth century, and the widespread practice by active readers of leaving often dense, interpretive manuscript annotations in the margins, and between the lines, of the books they read. This diverse evidence of annotation provides a considerable range of unique and largely untapped research materials, which reveal that readers—much as users of the internet today—adapted quickly to the technology of print: interacting intimately, dynamically, socially, and even virtually with texts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">This body of primary source material is among the largest, least accessible, and most underutilized of original manuscript sources from the early modern period, due to the fact that they are almost entirely uncatalogued, or undercatalogued, by major research collections throughout the world.</span></div>

William Kurrelmeyer Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts at the Sheridan
Libraries,</b> observes:</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">“There are so many parallels between our project, and the digital world of information that we live in today. These notes reveal a largely unvarnished history of personal reading within the early modern historical moment. They also embody an active tradition of physically mapping and personalizing knowledge upon the printed page. The added practice of referencing and cross-referencing other works in these marginal annotations also allows us, like those early readers, to engage with the presence of ‘virtual libraries’ within the space of a single book.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The history of reading remains a rich area for
research, as scholars seek to better understand these reading habits and
strategies, though it has remained a particularly daunting task when conducted
in a purely analog context, particularly with books that literally contain
thousands of notes. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">By treating marginal annotations as large sets
of data that can be mined and analyzed systematically in an electronic
environment, the project team will create a corpus of important and
representative annotated texts with searchable transcriptions and translations
in order to begin to compare and fully analyze early modern reading by a number
of dedicated Renaissance readers and annotators</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">.</span></div>

The website works, but you will be unable to see manuscript images in the various viewers. Images will gradually come back online over the course of a few weeks. We will update this post with more information as it becomes available.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your patience.<br />
<br />
<b>Update on 11/6: </b>About 60% of the images are available now. We expect all the images to be available by 11/18.<br />

<i>Rose</i> site users, we are delighted to announce that we have
added another manuscript to our repository, Bibliothèque municipale de Grenoble
608, aka <a href="http://romandelarose.org/#read;Grenoble608.001r.tif" target="_blank">Grenoble 608</a>. This 16<sup>th</sup>-century handwritten codex is chock
full of illustrations – 88 pen and ink drawings, with light coloring in places,
adorn the manuscript’s 143 paper folios. These fascinating depictions, which
are somewhat amateurish in their execution, are accompanied by at times
less-than-perfect scribal work. It seems the product of a smaller purse than
some of the illuminated <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rose</i>
manuscripts, which makes it perhaps all the more alluring as an object of
study. Was it copied hurriedly for a middle-class, middle-income household? Did
the first owner pen the drawings themselves?<o:p></o:p></div>

We have made some other small updates to our site to respond
to requests and fix bugs in the system: the provenance of the Ferrell
manuscript has now been corrected thanks to feedback from Peter Kidd (you can
view his blog on Medieval Manuscripts Provenance, which includes a post about
the Ferrell <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rose</i> <a href="http://mssprovenance.blogspot.com/">here</a>). Some users had noticed
some problems with viewing the transcriptions that are available for some of
the manuscripts – the Javascript problem, which was the culprit, has now been
fixed.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="color: #464646; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
The Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University are delighted to announce an award of $488,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for the new digital humanities research initiative "The Archaeology of Reading in Early Modern Europe." In conjunction with University College London’s Centre for Editing Lives and Letters (CELL), and the Princeton University Library, the project will explore historical reading practices through the lens of manuscript annotations preserved in early printed books.</div>
<div style="color: #464646; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
The initiative is under the leadership of Hopkins' Earle Havens, the William Kurrelmeyer Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts at the Sheridan Libraries, who will be working with co-Principal Investigators Professor Lisa Jardine, Director of CELL at University College London; and Professor Anthony Grafton of the Department of History at Princeton.</div>
<div style="color: #464646; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Over the past decades there has been a great deal of humanistic research focused upon the Printing Revolution of the sixteenth century and the reading habits of early modern book owners who filled their tomes with interpretative handwritten marginalia. These annotations still offer a wealth of untapped research materials, which demonstrate how readers adapted to the new print medium.</div>
<div style="color: #464646; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
The initial phase of activity of the project will focus around the transcription and translation of a select number of heavily annotated books, and the allied adaptation of the open-access SharedCanvas viewer to maximize user interaction with these complex, composite early modern texts through a publicly available website. The development of the SharedCanvas viewer will also benefit the <i>Roman de la Rose</i> Digital Library, which will be using this technology in the future to display and digitally annotate <i>Rose</i> manuscripts.</div>
<div style="color: #464646; line-height: 18px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">

In addition to a slight makeover of our blog style, the most obvious new feature is our fabulous Twitter feed in the right hand column.<br />
<br />
Since the beginning of May our Twitter handle, @RoseDigLib, has been hosting some experiments with medieval 'twitterature'. The project was conceived by Tamsyn Rose-Steel (@TamsynMedieval), CLIR/Mellon postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University, and utilizes the talents of poet Mike Rose-Steel (@MikeRStyping), who is a PhD candidate at Exeter University and is funded by Exeter's 'Bridging the Gaps' Wiring Wittgenstein project. Guillaume de Lorris's original poem of around 4,000 lines has been rendered into approximately 200 tweets in modern English rhyming couplets and quatrains, often accompanied by some of the stunning manuscript images that we host here on the <i>Rose Digital Library</i>. Follow us to enjoy this new rendering of the <i>Rose</i>.<br />
<br />
To explain the philosophy behind the endeavor and how we handled the constraints on the Twitter medium, some pages will be added to this blog exploring our ideas in greater depth. The first mini-essay 'Medieval Twitterature' has already been posted - click on the tab under the header to start reading. We hope you enjoy experiencing this most seminal of medieval French works in a new way.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09956813321713587426noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005885842289557871.post-27865424766715375142014-04-21T12:25:00.002-07:002014-05-01T09:13:50.988-07:00Images temporarily unavailableDue to an issue with our image serving software, some manuscript images are temporarily unavailable. If an image is unavailable, you will see a "gear" icon for it. Images are coming back online gradually in a process that will take about two days.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your patience.<br />
<br />
<b>Update on 4/24</b><br />
<br />
Images are coming back online steadily, but slower than we hoped.<br />
All images should be available by 4/28.<br />
<br />
<b>Update on 4/28</b><br />
<br />
80% of the images are available. The rest should be online by 4/30.<br />
<br />
<b>Update on 5/1</b><br />

All of the images are available.<br />

The Roman de la Rose Digital Library team proudly announces the addition of three new manuscripts to our digital library. These additions bring the total number of manuscripts up to 145. This new batch is especially interesting because they are owned by libraries outside of France--we have two new German manuscripts and one from Spain. Each of these were originally produced in France in the 14th and 15th centuries.<br />
<br />
Our first new manuscript, <a href="http://romandelarose.org/#book;Valencia387" target="_blank">BH Ms. 387</a> comes to us courtesy of the <a href="http://www.uv.es/bibhi/bihi/iindex2.htm" target="_blank">Bibliotèca Històrica of the Universitat de València</a>. With more than 160 beautiful miniatures, this manuscript is one of the most lavishly illustrated in the collection. Many of the <a href="http://romandelarose.org/#read;Valencia387.012v.tif" target="_blank">illustrations</a> span two columns in width. Heidrun Ost wrote an extensive <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=ohExpvMMXF4C&pg=PA405&lpg=PA405&dq=roman+de+la+rose+valencia+387&source=bl&ots=e4p9TZ89RM&sig=6OyiMTAd3DcmOOOIJxOQPe34N_8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=e7PQUOrnK8So0AHwl4CIBQ&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=roman%20de%20la%20rose%20valencia%20387&f=false" target="_blank">essay</a> about the illustrations in this manuscript. While it is not certain who commissioned the work, there is speculation that it was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Bold" target="_blank">Philip the Bold</a>, Duke of Burgundy. The style of illumination is similar to other manuscripts that the duke ordered for his collection. The Valencia Rose contains the usual text plus the "Testament de Jean de Meun", the "Codicille de Jean de Meun", and the "Articles de la Foy".<br />
<br />
The second new manuscript, <a href="http://romandelarose.org/#read;CodGall80" target="_blank">Cod. gall. 80</a> is part of the collection of the <a href="http://staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/en/" target="_blank">Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin</a>. This 14th century manuscript has smaller and fewer miniatures than our Valencia example, but they are all in brilliant colors. In addition, there are many decorated initials on every page.<br />
<br />
Finally we have <a href="http://romandelarose.org/#read;Ham577" target="_blank">Ham. 577</a>, also from the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. In addition to the text of the Roman de la Rose, this manuscript has a "mystery" section at the end. This section has many <a href="http://romandelarose.org/#read;Ham577.192v.tif" target="_blank">geometric illustrations</a>, and does not appear to relate to the Rose. Can you help us with this? Please post a comment on this blog post if you can help with any information.<br />
<br />
We owe a big debt of gratitude to the two libraries that supplied the images for these manuscripts. It is this type of community cooperation that enables us to continue to build this digital library.David Reynoldshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11894422152446145615noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4005885842289557871.post-37574596465500471082012-12-07T12:24:00.001-08:002012-12-07T12:24:21.273-08:00"L'art d'aimer du Moyen Âge: Le Roman de la rose"The Roman de la Rose Digital Library is currently being featured in an important exhibition called "<a href="http://www.bnf.fr/documents/dp_roman_rose.pdf" target="_blank">L'art d'aimer du Moyen Âge: Le Roman de la rose</a>" at the <a href="http://www.bnf.fr/fr/la_bnf/sites/a.site_bibliotheque_arsenal.html" target="_blank">Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal</a> in Paris. The exhibition began on 6 November 2012 and will close 13 February 2013. The exhibition displays around 100 manuscripts and a few printed editions.<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
The exposition is organized according to two approaches: telling the story literally via manuscript images that portray the narrative (featuring "<a href="http://romandelarose.org/#book;Francais1574" target="_blank">Français 1574</a>"), and allegorically, also using manuscript images illustrative of this important aspect of the work. Panels of miniatures allow viewers to obtain a synthesis of the work's different sections.<br />
<br />
On January 18, 2013 there will be a day-long workshop in which a group of Roman de la Rose scholars will discuss the question "Why should one read the Roman de la Rose today?". Professor <a href="http://grll.jhu.edu/french/bios/stephen-nichols/" target="_blank">Stephen Nichols</a> of the <a href="http://www.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">Johns Hopkins University</a> will close the exhibition with a lecture about how and why digitization makes reading the Rose more meaningful today.<br />

profound regret we learned of the death of Thierry Delcourt, Director
of the Department of Manuscripts at the Bibliothèque nationale de
France, on November 22. The cause was brain cancer; he was 52 years
old. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The
Digital Library of Medieval Manuscripts at Johns Hopkins could not have
had a better friend and collaborator than Thierry Delcourt. It is no
exaggeration to say that without his vision and generosity, our site
would not have the wealth of manuscripts of the </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Roman de la Rose </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">it now contains. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This
is how it happened. In 2006, Winston Tabb, Dean of the Sheridan
Libraries at Johns Hopkins, and I visited Thierry Delcourt, the newly
appointed Director of Manuscripts, in his office on the Rue de
Richelieu. We had come to Paris in hopes of obtaining imaging rights to
ten or twelve key </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rose</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
manuscripts in the BnF. When I explained our project, and showed him
the site, Thierry smiled and asked if we wouldn’t rather have the image
rights for </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">all</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> the </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rose</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
manuscripts in France! Quickly calculating how much of a grant we
would need to make this happen, we agreed that Hopkins would raise the
necessary funds for the project, while the BnF would assume
responsibility for the digital imaging of the 140+ publically-available </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rose</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
codices in France. And so began a wonderful collaboration born out of
Thierry Delcourt’s visionary conception for the role of the BnF in the
twenty-first century. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">His
vision grew naturally from his own training in and love for medieval
French literature. Trained as a paleographer-archivist at the
prestigious École des Chartes in Paris, he specialized in manuscripts of
the prose Tristan cycle, beginning with his thesis: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Le Roman de Tristan en prose. Édition critique et commentaire de l’épisode du Château des Pucelles </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">(1983).
He subsequently published other books on the Prose Tristan, on
Arthurian literature, bestiaries, crusade chronicles, and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">the tradition in France of early popular book formats.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Early
in his career, Thierry Delcourt distinguished himself as an imaginative
and entrepreneurial administrator both in the public and private
sector. Appointed Conservator of the Audio-Visual Department at the BnF
in 1983, he was recruited into the private sphere as a consultant in
systems technology from 1989 to 1992, the year the BnF lured him back to
his former post. In 1995, he became director of the Municipal Library
of Troyes, which, under his leadership, became one of the leading media
centers in France…even, some feel, one of the most modern and innovative
of its kind. In 2006, the BnF appointed him to the post he held until
his death this week. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Fate
did not allow us to prolong our partnership with Thierry himself beyond
five-and-a-half short, but wonderfully collegial years. With uncanny
prescience, however, he leaves as a legacy an extraordinary team in the
Department of Manuscripts and its Information Technology section at the
BnF with whom we will continue to collaborate </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">bien amicablement</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> thanks to our shared memory of Thierry Delcourt.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stephen G.

Founded by Stephen G. Nichols and Nadia R. Altschul, the journal aims to foster scholarship that crosses disciplines upsetting traditional fields of study, national boundaries and periodizations. <i>Digital Philology </i>also encourages both applied and theoretical research that engages with the digital humanities and shows why and how digital resources require new questions, new approaches, and yield radical results.</p> <p class="p3">Beginning in 2012 <i>Digital Philology </i>will have two issues per year, published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. One of the issues will be open to all submissions, while the other one will be guest-edited and revolve around a thematic axis.</p> <p class="p3">Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 3rd edition (2008) of the MLA style manual, and be between 5,000 and 7,000 words in length, including footnotes and list of works cited. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation.</p> <p class="p3"><i>Digital Philology </i>is welcoming submissions for its 2013 open issue. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to <span class="s1">dph@jhu.edu</span>, addressed to the Managing Editor (Albert Lloret). <i>Digital Philology </i>will also publish manuscript studies and reviews of books and digital projects.

Philology: A Journal of Medieval CulturesDigital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures<br /><br />Call for Submissions<br /><br />Digital Philology is a new peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of medieval vernacular texts and cultures. Founded by Stephen G. Nichols and Nadia R. Altschul, the journal aims to foster scholarship that crosses disciplines upsetting traditional fields of study, national boundaries, and periodizations. Digital Philology also encourages both applied and theoretical research that engages with the digital humanities and shows why and how digital resources require new questions, new approaches, and yield radical results. <br /><br />Digital Philology will have two issues per year, published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. One of the issues will be open to all submissions, while the other one will be guest-edited and revolve around a thematic axis.<br /><br />Contributions may take the form of a scholarly essay or focus on the study of a particular manuscript. Articles must be written in English, follow the 3rd edition (2008) of the MLA style manual, and be between 5,000 and 9,000 words in length, including footnotes and list of works cited. Quotations in the main text in languages other than English should appear along with their English translation. <br /><br />Digital Philology welcomes submissions for the 2012 and 2013 open issues. Inquiries and submissions (as a Word document attachment) should be sent to dph@jhu.edu, addressed to the Editor (Albert Lloret) and Managing Editor (Jeanette Patterson). Digital Philology will also publish reviews of books and digital projects. Correspondence regarding digital projects and publications for review may be addressed to Timothy Stinson at tlstinson@gmail.com.<br /><br />Editorial Board<br /><br />Tracy Adams (Auckland University) <br />Benjamin Albritton (Stanford University)<br />Nadia R.
