We invite applications for a five-day training workshop in text encoding for epigraphy and papyrology, and publication of ancient texts, at the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London, April 9–13, 2018.
The training will be offered by Gabriel Bodard (ICS), Martina Filosa (Köln),
Simona Stoyanova (ICS) and Polina Yordanova (ICS/Sofia)
and there will be no charge for the workshop. Thanks to the generosity
of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a limited number of bursaries
are available to assist students and other unfunded scholars with the costs of travel
and accommodation.
EpiDoc (epidoc.sf.net) is a community of practice, recommendations and tools
for the digital editing and publication of ancient texts based on TEI XML.
