Tomorrow (Dec 17) at 5pm Central European Time, please join us for a talk on Armenian manuscript-making in the Ottoman Empire, another of our webinars on premodern manuscripts from the Islamic world!

In this talk, our own Dr. Polina Ivanova will look at how Armenian manuscript writing changed as the upheavals of the C16-17 Safavid-Ottoman wars and Celali revolts displaced and restructured Armenian society, refocusing book production away from monastic and towards merchant parts of society.

You can join, without pre-registration at the zoom link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/65295995613?pwd=e3fAP5HzOp9hTGXCnA93YmEu85Kbai.1

See you there!

"#Researchers in #Israel are hoping to make new discoveries about #Jewish #history by loading a digital database of #manuscripts stretching back a thousand years into a new #transcription tool that uses #artificialintelligence.

The #Cairo #Geniza, the biggest collection of #medieval Jewish documents in the world, has been the object of countless hours of study by #scholars for more than a century but only a fraction of its over 400,000 documents have been thoroughly researched.

Although the entire collection has already been digitized and is available online in the form of images, most of its items have not been catalogued, many are disordered fragments from longer documents, and only around a tenth have transcriptions.

By training an #AI model to read and transcribe the old texts, researchers will now be able to access and analyse the whole collection far more quickly, cross referencing names or words and assembling fragments into fuller documents."
