Mina Monier PhD publication

DH+ is proud to announce the publication of the PhD of Mina Monier, post-doc, under the lead of Joan E. Taylor, King’s College, London:

Monier, Mina. Temple and Empire: The Context of the Temple Piety of Luke-Acts. Minneapolis: Lexington Fortress Academic, 2020.

Temple and Empire explores the theme of temple piety in Luke-Acts and 1 Clement in historical context. Mina Monier argues that situating both works in Trajanic Rome, and reading them through the lens of Roman imperial ideology explains their peculiarly positive presentation of the Temple as a form of reverence toward ancient worship and ancestral customs that would not offend, but would appeal to traditional Roman sensibilities.

DARIAH Conference 2020

DARIAH Virtual Annual Event 2020: Scholarly Primitives

October 7, 2020December 2, 2020

Blog published on DARIAH website : https://www.dariah.eu/event/dariah-annual-event-2020/

Virtual | Papers and poster sessions: November 10-13, 2020 

Workshops, Synergy sessions and Working Group meetings: October 7 – December 2 (weekly sessions)

Topic of this year’s event is Scholarly Primitives.

Twenty years after John Unsworth first formulated scholarly primitives as a set of recursive and interrelated functions that form the foundations of research activities across disciplines, theoretical frameworks or eras, the event will be an opportunity to revisit and freshly interrogate both the notion and the scope of scholarly primitives. To what extent does this particular set of scholarly primitives still correspond to our understanding of what humanities scholars do on a day-to-day basis? Has our understanding of research workflows changed over time significantly enough to require a new classification?

Keynote speakers 

We are happy to announce that this year’s event will feature two keynote speeches by John Unsworth (University of Virginia).

SNSF MARK16

SNSF MARK16 project 2018-2023

Short Summary

MARK16 has been a SNSF PRIMA project on five years (2018-2023). It has developed a new research model in digitized biblical sciences, based on a test-case found in the New Testament: the last chapter of the Gospel according to Mark. The project has produced new research results on this well-known textual criticism enigma, and has created the first virtual research environment, focused on a biblical chapter, a reference website for research about Mark 16: https://mark16.sib.swiss. The team has also published more than 25 publications on the research topic, 2 books and 2 others in submission. All data are available on the  SNSF website: https://data.snf.ch/grants/grant/179755.

Abstract

MARK16 is the first virtual research environment (VRE) that focuses on a chapter of the Bible (https://mark16.sib.swiss). Through the presentation and study of unedited or significant material, its purpose has been to reintroduce the issues raised regarding the different endings of the Gospel of Mark. The last chapter of the Gospel of Mark presents a well-known issue in the field of New Testament textual criticism: certain manuscripts do not contain stories depicting the resurrected Jesus at the end of the gospel. To highlight new research findings, this project is building a VRE that provides 61 manuscripts in eleven ancient languages, as well as useful resources and research hypotheses on a multimedia publishing platform. The VRE allows scholars to explore the complexity of the textual tradition of Markan manuscripts and to analyse the historical tensions between diverse, early Christian groups during the first and second century CE. Through more than 25 publications, the project has demonstrated that:

  • A plural reading of the ending of Mark has prevailed through the centuries.
  • The conclusion brevior must be taken in consideration in the study of Mark’s endings, with at least 155 manuscripts attestations in seven ancient languages.
  • A multilingual approach is required to understand the manuscript evidence we have about Mark 16.
  • A particular attention must be drawn at the start of the chapter, Mark 16:1, another textual variant to be read together with the evidence of Mark 16:8.

The publication of the 2020 conference proceedings has clearly demonstrated the potential of VREs for researching ancient manuscripts. The publication of the 2022 conference proceedings has highlighted a general turn in research about MARK16, with 20 contributions of different scholars: a multilingual turn. A final book illustrates the importance of the woman in Mark 16 and in the early transmission of Christianity. MARK16 has benefitted of the supervision of an international advisory board including Leif Isaksen (UK), Jennifer Knust (USA), Valérie Nicolet (FR), Laurent Romary (FR), Joseph Verheyden (BE), and Peter Williams (UK). Several partnerships, notably with the INTF (Münster), the CNRS (Huma-Num, Nakala), DARIAH, OPERAS (Go Triple), the Pelagios network and the Swiss DH Data Center, DaSCH.

Team of the project

Claire Clivaz – PI, Head of DH+ (SIB); Priscille Marshall, Post-doc, DH+ (SIB); Elisa Nury, Research Scientist, DH+ (SIB); and Silvano Aldà, Software developer, Core-IT (SIB). We thank also warmly our former collaborators in the project: Mina Monier, Post-doc (DH+, SIB) and Sara Schulthess, Research Scientist (DH+, SIB); Jonathan Barda, Jean-Bernard Dugied and Martial Sankar (Software developers, Core-IT, SIB).

… and numerous collaborations and partnerships! The Manuscript Room has benefited of the collaboration of about 30 colleagues, whose names appear on the due webpage of the MR (https://mr-mark16.sib.swiss).
