Materials for a Master Seminar on Digital Editions with examples from the Georg Greflinger Digital Scholarly Edition. Summer term 2011

Materials for a Master Seminar on Digital Editions with examples from the Georg Greflinger Digital Scholarly Edition. Summer term 2011 at the Freie Universität Berlin. Students were thoroughly introduced to the scholarly edition of early modern printed documents and were tasked with preparing a transcription of a part of print. They used XML-TEI P5 encoding and a set of concrete guidelines. The seminar used the TextGrid virtual research environment and a shared folder to which all students and the lecturer had access.

The files were recovered during a project maintenance session in June 2023. They contain:

A slideshow explains the specifics of early modern prints and how they inform digital scholarly editions. In German.

A reference sheet with Unicode numbers for special characters in early modern German and Latin prints. In German.

A draft of the transcription guidelines for the Greflinger digital scholarly edition, esp. the historical writings. In German.

A file with notes about what texts to use for the seminar, mainly historical writings by Georg Greflinger. In German.

Note: the material is incomplete; many handouts, slides and other materials are missing and cannot be recovered.
