I added a few pages to #Griffe's docs: alternative projects, downstream projects, and built-in/official/third-party extensions.
Very cool projects mentioned in there! #Docspec, #pdoc, #papyri, #quartodoc, etc. And I discovered a few Griffe extensions in the process, it's awesome 🤩

Wie liest man fragile antike #Papyri, die beschädigt würden, wenn man sie aufblätterte?
Im @Tagesspiegel U. Badelt wie die aktuelle #Elephantine Ausstellung der Staatlichen Museen Berlin neue Methoden präsentiert, mit dieser Herausforderung umzugehen:

This is freaking unbelievable! Scientists are able to read unrolled charcoaled #papyri from #Herculaneum

Grammateus project
"An overview of the project explains our perspective on the typology of #Greek documentary #papyri, and how to use the website. The key concepts offer definitions of the main concepts used to classify papyri in the typology. This typology is an attempt to identify the main types of document, and provide a detailed description of each type as well as an explanation of the scientific decisions behind the classification."

Prompted by an email from @ctschroeder, I asked @hcayless about the disposition of all the digitized texts and descriptive data for literary papyri that were created under the auspices of the NEH-funded "Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri": https://isaw.nyu.edu/news/dclp-201712
I thought some here might be interested to know that all of that data can be found via search in papyri.info, or by browsing the DCLP collection: https://papyri.info/browse/dclp/ . ... 1/2

CW: workshop: handwritten text recognition
I see that the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities has announced "a two-day workshop on Handwritten Text Recognition (#HTR) to be held in Venice on November 7th and 8th and online. The first day regards the HTREC 2022 challenge, which was about the Error Correction of HTR output for #Greek #papyri and #Byzantine #manuscripts. The second day will be dedicated to "Error Correcting HTR for Historical Sources" in general."
