*) International Conference, Vienna, HHStA, 1214 September 2016 *) <http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection> http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection: release of first results 1) International Conference, 1214 September 2016 Illuminated Charters from the Margins of Two Disciplines to the Core of Digital Humanities Conference venue: Vienna, Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, Minoritenplatz 1, Dachfoyer Archivists, art historians, medievalists, digital humanists, friends of pattern recognition, media studies, and of objects hidden for centuries: all these (and many more) are the target audience of our meeting. We proudly present speakers from Tampa (Florida), England, France and Italy as well as Estonia and Georgia. We are honoured that Olivier Guyotjeannin (Paris), Elizabeth Danbury (London), Alison Stones (Pittsburgh: Public Lecture, 12 September, 7pm), Irmgard Fees (Munich) and Francesca Manzari (Rome) have accepted our invitation to present papers (programme and abstracts: http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at/de/tagung-12-1492016 <http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at/de/tagung-12-1492016/> ). Much more important, though, is the quality and variety of topics: discussions about data-modelling, best-practice examples of combined presentations of image and metadata are highlights of the digital part. Surveys of regional characteristics (England, Lombardy, Venice, Rome, Latvia and Lithuania, Georgia) and in depth-studies of single objects are very intentionally combined as necessary methodological contrast. Studies focusing on archival holdings in specific regions lead to papers dealing with chanceries and special types of charters, which are regularly decorated with artistic means. These means range from graphic signs developing in private charters in St Gall during the 8th century to signs characteristic of specific types of charters and highly refined artefacts made for famous late medieval collectors, and finally to (printed) charters which are equally perfect advertising media. The organizing team (Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler, Andreas Zajic) is pleased to invite you to this conference. Due to the limited space available at the Dachfoyer of the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, we kindly ask you to register in time: <https://goo.gl/forms/RkWlbVKwaxpUwcz52>https://goo.gl/forms/RkWlbVKwaxpUwcz52 or send a mail to <mailto:illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com> illuminierteurkunden(a)gmail.com. 2) Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler and Andreas Zajic have decided after a peer-reviewing-process and internal discussions to publish first results of the FWF project Illuminated Charters as ´Gesamtkunstwerk´. <http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection> http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection 678 illuminated collective indulgences are freely accessible for everyone. We are well aware that we can only present work in progress. This is true for the digital part as well as for the content. Part of the indexing work has still to be implemented into the search environment and depth of information varies significantly. Partly this is a deliberate decision, because it does not make sense to offer extensive abstracts for poorly decorated objects which are only of importance due to their character as forerunners to later, more extensively illuminated indulgences. On the other hand there are charters which deserve more in-depth treatment, but parts of the description ([extensive] abstract, diplomatic comment, description of decoration and art-historical commentary) are still lacking. We hope, however, that users are willing to accept such shortcomings in order to get access more quickly. We want to encourage each and every user to give us feedback ( <mailto:illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com> illuminierteurkunden(a)gmail.com) such as additions, corrections (including typos), hints to additional sources, images or reference literature; do not hesitate to point out amendments no matter how small.
