Vor über siebzig Jahren erfassten Dutzende junge Frauen elf Millionen Wörter Thomas von Aquins auf Lochkarten: eines der ersten Projekte der Digital Humanities. Doch was bedeutet es heute, Geschichte digital zu schreiben? Ein Streifzug durch Methoden, Möglichkeiten und Risiken der Digitalen Geschichtswissenschaft und die epistemologischen Fragen, die sie aufwirft.
Preparing a digital collection of any erudite 16th or 17th century book is a collective effort. That is why the project team of The School of Salamanca combines scholars with different background, from philosophy to computer science, from Digital History to legal history. Every early modern author has his ideosyncracies, no two books translate into the digital format alike. But the experience in converting the seven print volumes of Luis de Molina’s De Iustitia et Iure into a digital edition (still a work in progress) turned out to be much more challenging than expected. .
Do you know how to work with the digital editions of the books you read?
For researchers, understanding the features of digital editions is crucial for making efficient use of their research tools.
This blog post takes you behind the scenes of “The School of Salamanca: A Digital Collection of Sources and a Dictionary of its Juridical-Political Language” project and its newly uploaded video tutorials demonstrating how researchers can utilize the website.
