BHLms (Bibliotheca Hagiographica Latina manuscripta)
This database combines the resources of the repertory of Latin hagiographic texts known as Bibliotheca Hagiographica Latina(BHL) with those of the catalogues of hagiographic manuscripts published in the series Subsidia hagiographica and Analecta Bollandiana. Entering the Latin name of a saint, one has access to his “dossier” (the various texts relating to him, as listed in BHL). A specific text can also be found by entering its BHL number. A list of all the manuscripts containing that text is then provided. The manuscripts can be ordered either in the alphabetical order of the places of conservation, or in chronological order.
The Collaborative Database of Dateable Greek Bookhands (CDDGB) is a catalogue of Greek manuscripts written in a literary script which, apart from a few exceptions, can be dated on the basis of some objective criterion, such as the presence of a document on the reverse side which contains a date, or a dateable archaeological context associated with the manuscript.
The authors aim to achieve a complete digital edition of the Greek manuscript XI.1 of the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice (= coll. 452). The first step was to identify as precisely as possible all the texts that appear in the various anthologies and compilations contained in this 14th-century school manuscript. Several of the anthologies are accompanied by grammatical and lexical scholia, known by a well-identified manuscript tradition and mostly used for the elaboration of a lexicon of Attic words. The difficulty of encoding this document in TEI-XML lies in the choice of the tags considered the most appropriate, since in TEI-XML scholia are considered as additions to the text, whereas here they seem to be a central element of the transmitted teaching. The authors propose a schema that allowed them to encode literary texts and scholia in an equivalent way but linked together, with unique identifiers.

The research of ancient written artefacts results in an ever-increasing amount of digital data in different forms, ranging from raw images of artefacts to automatically generated data from advanced acquisition techniques. The manual analysis of this data is typically time consuming and can be subject to human error and bias. Therefore, a set of Pattern Analysis Software Tools (PAST) has been developed for the automatic analysis of visual and tabular patterns in the research data from the study of ancient written artefacts. These software tools have been developed by Hussein Mohammed to facilitate a more efficient study of written artefacts and to help scholars benefit from the rapid advancements in the fields of pattern analysis and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, these tools can provide new insights which can only be derived from the statistical analysis of research data. Each tool in PAST is developed and tested in close collaboration with experts from relevant fields of research in order to ensure its usability and applicability to actual research questions.
Die Virtuelle Schatzkammer der Stadtbibliothek im Bildungscampus Nürnberg ist eine Online-Plattform mit Digitalisaten von historisch wertvollem Kulturgut sowie von lokalhistorisch relevantem Schrifttum (Norica). Dazu zählen urheberrechtsfreie Handschriften sowie Drucke vom 15. bis in das 20. Jahrhundert hinein. Im Zuge des Digitalisierungsprozesses wird der Bestand an digital abrufbaren Ressourcen fortlaufend erweitert.
The retroReveal project exists for and because of its volunteers and users. retroReveal facilitates the collaborative discovery of hidden content in documents, manuscripts, music, and artifacts.
retroReveal provides documentation and web based image processing algorithms designed to help people discover hidden content. While the current version of the site provides basic assistance with image processing, we will be adding support for collaborative work among scholarly communities in a wide variety of disciplines in the future. retroReveal provides an inexpensive discovery tool to assist people who wish to identify hidden text in their documents for further study. The web based image processing we provide assumes no specialized image editing knowledge, and is designed to be used by a broad spectrum of researchers, scholars, and community members.
