From the Digital Humanities: Works in Progress blog:

We are delighted to announce the Call for Papers for “On the Same Page: Digital Approaches to Hebrew Manuscripts”. This two-day conference will explore the potential for the computer-assisted study of Hebrew manuscripts, present developments in the field and share methodologies. Of course, for any of that to happen, we need some papers, so please see below for details of how to submit a proposal.

Papers of 20 minutes in length are invited on any aspect of digital approaches to the study of (medieval) Hebrew manuscripts.

Below are some possible topics, but please don’t feel limited to these:

• the practical and theoretical consequences of the use of digital images
• visualisation of manuscript evidence and data
• examples of research into Hebrew manuscripts that would benefit from a Digital Humanities approach
• computer-assisted study of iconography
• is our increasing reliance upon digital surrogates changing our research methodologies and practices?
• reports from projects that make use of digitised images

To propose a paper, please email a brief abstract (250 words max.) to
