Presentation at NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities on “Working with Text in the Digital Age” at Tufts University August 9, 2012
Description
As part of a “Working with Text in the Digital Age”, a three-week NEH institute on digital methods for working with historical-language text hosted by Tuft’s Perseus Project, we were asked to present on a potential application for what we had learned. I came up with a “plan to develop an introductory textbook for simultaneously teaching Latin and Greek” that would take advantage of digitized texts of early Modern Greek-Latin bilingual editions, in particular J. J. Scaliger’s edition of the Disticha Catonis—still something that I would like to write someday.
