CELL MA/MRes
Are you interested in the CELL MA/MRes?
Posted January 4th, 2011 by Dr Robyn Adams
CELL is now accepting applications for entry to the MA/MRes for the academic year 2012-13!
The MA/MRes in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies provides a research qualification unique in the United Kingdom. It has been designed for students with an established interest in archival research, critical editing, life-writing and intellectual histories. The central aim of the programme is to train students in the skills they require to pursue these interests.
The compulsory core course provides the skills required for archival research in manuscript and early modern print production. The course is taught by seminars, workshops and field trips to relevant institutions including the Plantin-Moretus Print Museum in Antwerp. A Latin class enables even beginners to become sufficiently familiar with Latin primers and dictionaries to be able to make ad hoc translations of Latin phrases, sentences and short texts. Students are also trained in IT to ensure that they have access to the full range of resources needed for modern scholarship. Modular courses on a range of topics, including life writing and early modern reading, encourage students to use these skills intellectually and creatively, as does the dissertation.
If you would like more information, contact r.adams@qmul.ac.uk or explore our website for more details.

Crop yields
National medieval crop yields database
- The database is the creation of Bruce M. S. Campbell, Professor of Medieval Economic History within the School of Geography, Archaeology, and Palaeoecology at The Queen’s University of Belfast (QUB).
- The “Database” may be searched by crop, harvest year, manor, estate, county, region, and any combination of the same. All that is required is that users identify themselves by registering. The yields given are yields per seed, gross of tithe (assumed to have been every tenth sheaf deducted in the field) and net of seed. The database cannot be amended but a “Wiki” page is available where any corrections and additions can be noted along with other relevant comments. It is anticipated that the database will be corrected, added to, and extended as more data become available. Meanwhile, the “Chronologies” facility offers a series of reconstructed annual chronologies for each of the principal crops and combinations of the same. These have no counterpart for any other country or period before the 19th century and will be of particular value to archaeologists, historians, economists, environmentalists, and agronomists. They have been derived from the spatially and chronologically discontinuous raw yield data using the regression facility available within the STATA statistical software package.

Hermeneutica

- Stéfan Sinclair: Professor of Digital Humanities, McGill University
- Geoffrey Rockwell
See Voyeur
- A web-based text analysis environment, part of the Hermeneuti.ca, a collaborative project to develop and theorize text analysis tools and text analysis rhetoric
- What you can do with Voyeur:
- use texts in a variety of formats including plain text, HTML, XML, PDF, RTF and MS Word
- use texts from different locations, including URLs and uploaded files
- perform lexical analysis including the study of frequency and distribution data; in particular
- export data into other tools (as XML, tab separated values, etc.)
- embed live tools into remote web sites that can accompany or complement your own content
- Voyeur is a work in progress – it is currently in beta. Some things don't work properly, some planned features aren't available yet. In particular, here are some weaknesses that we recognize:
- lack of more advanced linguistic processing (lemmatization, parts of speech, semantic awareness)
- lack of XML-aware analytic features (though XML is a valid input format)
the current default skin (configuration of tools) is not well-suited to reading texts
some of the user documentation is a bit bare
other funcitonality:
- proximity searching of terms
- multi-word (n-gram) views (though you can search for specific phrases)

- The site incorporates access to collections at the British Library, the National Library of Scotland, the Moravian Library in the Czech Republic and the prestigious David Rumsey Collection in California
- Other collections to be added later this year include those from Harvard University, the New York Public Library, the National Library of Wales, the Bodleian Library at Oxford and several major European libraries
See Digital Exposure of English Place-Names (DEEP)
- "In England, the historical developments of place-names over time have been systematically surveyed since 1922 by the specialists of the English Place-Name Society (EPNS). Examining an extensive range of documentary sources in local and national archives, and gathering the knowledge of local communities and experts, the EPNS has built up an 86-volume county by county survey of England’s place-names – detailing over four million variant forms, from classical sources, through the Anglo-Saxon period and into medieval England and beyond to the modern period. JISC’s Digital Exposure of English Place-Names (DEEP) project will digitise all these forms, and make them available as structured data. The corpus will be comprise a gazetteer within JISC’s Unlock service, meaning that researchers will be able to cross-query the dataset, and use it to search their own digital documents and databases for any historic place-name form. The gazetteer data will also be made available in structured XML, meaning that it will be possible to experiment with methods of data mining and visualisation that are not possible with the paper volumes. In addition to the digitisation, a network of experts will be convened to correct and enhance the dataset"
