In this class we will take a practical approach to digital papyrology. The available repositories and tools for accessing, using and editing the digital corpus of papyrological material are presented. First, the possibilities to improve and increase the existing digital corpus by way of (a) corrections/updates to already digitized texts (b) digital encoding of texts from printed editions (c) creating born-digital editions are presented (Reggiani). Second, extracting texts for a separate, linguistically annotated corpus is presented by way of the Sematia platform, but also other possibilities are discussed (Vierros).

Berichtigungsliste der Griechischen Papyrusurkunden aus Ägypten (=BL) is a publication series that collects emendations suggested by different scholars for already published papyri. Currently there are 13 volumes of BL. Occasionally the corrections listed in BL have already made their way to the online corpus of DDbDP in the Papyrological Navigator, but many are still missing. Contribute to the PN and make a BL emendation via the Papyrological Editor following the six steps below!
- Find a volume of BL from your library or ask us a scan of a random page. The latest volume could be the best option for the exercise. Select an entry that involves a textual correction.
- Go to http://papyri.info/editor/ and sign in using one of the options provided (if you are signing in for the first time, you need to fill in your data)
- Browse the DDbDP for the papyrus you chose to correct, and once you have found and opened it, click “open in editor” in the top. Then select Leiden+ under Text, and an editing window of the text with Leiden+ markup opens up.
- Open in another window the Help-page (from top right corner) for Text Leiden+ and scroll down to find “Berichtigungsliste Corrections”
- Make your correction following the instructions and remember to be careful with all brackets, spaces etc. The BL reference includes the volume number and a page number, i.e. BL 9.17 in the example means volume 9, page 17 of BL, where the suggested correction is.
- Describe the change you made (line number and the BL change) on the line next to the Save button, then hit Save. If you get a notification in green color, the Leiden+ code was correct and you can use the Preview mode to see how the correction displays, and then go to Overview, where you can submit the text to the Board. You must state what you did also in the box before submitting.
Thank you (and repeat as many times you wish)!
Exercises on Sematia and linguistic annotation can be found in Spring Semester 2018 session 6 (March 1: Treebanking 1).
