#neolatin — Public Fediverse posts

"barbarians" and "foreigners"? Shruti Rajgopal examines how Neo-Latin texts by missionaries like Maffei and Montserrat used ethnonyms to classify Indian identities—blending geography, religion, and caste.

About to give a talk on #LOD in #Neolatin Studies at the Centre for Medieval Studies in Prague. This presentation was great fun to prepare. Slides as usual at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20179402

#wikidata

Very happy about the opportunity to talk about #neolatin and #lod in Prague next week.

@neolatin

Question for the #digitalclassics or #digital #neolatin crowd (and @diyclassics in particular, I guess): What would be the best semantic embedding models for (Neo-)Latin currently available (not word embeddings but embeddings of text chunks)?

Recommended reading btw.: Burns, P. J. (2025). Pretrained Word Vectors for Latin Philology. In Evolving Perspectives on Digital Classics. Routledge.

Dear Neo-Latinists, the Committee for Digital Resources of the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies (IANLS) will host an online roundtable discussion on "Artificial Intelligence and Neo-Latin Studies: Prospects and Concerns" on Friday, 20 February 2026, 2:00-3:30PM CET.

Probably not among the juiciest topics in #NeoLatin and #Jesuit studies, but in the unlikely event that you feel like learning more about the legal basis of the Jesuits’ congregationes procuratorum, I’ve got you covered: “The Formula of the Congregation of Procurators: Introduction, Latin Text, and English Translation.” In Political Agents and Cultural Mediators.

It's been an interesting conference in Aarhus on digital methods in #NeoLatin studies. What I find strinking is that the focus has shifted from text analysis/stylometry to data analysis. There's a rather strong interest now in generating, sharing and reusing data. At least one positive effect of the AI hype.

now it's @diyclassics 's turn in Aarhus on creating really big Neolatin corpora

research questions by Barbara McGillivray from @kingsdh at the end of her presentation in Aarhus. She has recently won funding for the project 'Computational Corpus Annotation for Quantitative Analysis of Latin Lexical Semantics' (COALA), cf. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/kings-project-awarded-2m-ukri-funding-to-study-the-evolution-of-language

So interesting job opportunities ahead 🙂

The conference "Digital Neo-Latin studies: ideas and perspectives" at Aarhus University is inaugurated by Marianne Pade.

#neolatin

Question for #digitalhumanities , #earlymodern , #bookhistory , #latin and especially #neolatin people here: Do you know of #linkedopendata resources that are potentially relevant for Neolatinists? I'm preparing a talk on the topic and would like to provide an overview of interesting datasets beyond wikidata, factgrid, prism, lila and the linked data services of some libraries.

Great news, the upcoming conference (https://ianls.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Program_CAH.pdf) on "Digital Neo-Latin studies: ideas and perspectives" will be streamed as well. The Zoom link if you want to join in on Wednesday: https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/65516845690, for Thursday there's another one: https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/68267035359

#neolatin @neolatin

Looking forward to this interesting conference next week in Aarhus: "Digital Neo-Latin studies: ideas and perspectives". I'll be talking about #linkedopendata in Neo-Latin studies.

The #IANLS has now its own #zenodo community where all presentations held at the #ianls25 can be published: https://zenodo.org/communities/ianls/records

A small but hopefully important step towards more #openaccess in the field of #neolatin studies.

@neolatin

Interesting project presentations this morning in the special session on digital technology at #IANLS25 : Malika Bastin-Hammou presented the database of 16th century paratexts of ancient drama: https://ithac.elan-numerique.fr

Šime Demo talked about LAPIS, a database of Latin church inscriptions in Croatia. The project uses Semantic MediaWiki: easy to use, powerful and reasonably interoperable. The database isn't publicly available yet (https://lapis.fhs.unizg.hr) but it looks promising.

#neolatin

Later, I'll be giving a talk at #IANLS25 on some quantitative analyses of Latin book prodcution in Germany (and Italy in part) from 1500 through 1800. Slides, code and data can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15878272

I'm looking forward to the questions and the discussion!
