A landmark study of single-sheet publishing during the first two centuries after the invention of printing. Long disregarded as ephemera or cheap print, broadsheets emerge as both a crucial communication medium and an essential underpinning of the economics of the publishing industry.; Readership: Historians of the book, media history and news, bibliographers and librarians, and those interested in the politics, government, religion and literature of the early modern period

Comprehensive Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics, Third Edition

The Comprehensive Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics is an updated, expanded, and corrected edition of the print book published some twenty years ago by Rüdiger Köppe Verlag (Newman 1996). The outpouring of new publications on Chadic and Hausa in the ensuing years created the need for an updated bibliography. The first edition of this online bibliography was published in 2012 at Bayreuth University, the second edition in 2013 at Indiana University (http://hdl.handle.net/2022/16600), and the current third edition in 2015, also at Indiana University. This comprehensive bibliography covers all works written on Chadic and Hausa languages and linguistics dating from 1790 to the present. In addition to published books and articles, the bibliography includes unpublished Ph.D. dissertations and master's theses. The bibliography is international in scope and covers works regardless of the language in which they were written. For example, there are close to a hundred works written in Hausa. Titles of works in languages other than English, French, or German are accompanied by English translations. Russian titles in Cyrillic script are transliterated into Roman script. Book reviews are listed under the entry for the book being reviewed. A new feature of this 3rd edition is the addition of a Book Review Author Index, which indicates all the books that any individual has reviewed. Finally, the bibliography contains a section consisting of obituaries, (auto-) biographical essays, and related works on major scholars, now deceased, who have contributed significantly to Chadic or Hausa linguistics

Online Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics

The Online Bibliography of Chadic and Hausa Linguistics (OBCHL), henceforth the ‘biblio’, is an updated, expanded, and corrected edition of the bibliography published some fifteen years ago by Rüdiger Köppe Verlag (Newman 1996). That biblio was built on valuable earlier works including Hair (1967), Newman (1971), Baldi (1977), R. M. Newman (1979), Awde (1988), and Barreteau (1993). The ensuing years have witnessed an outpouring of new publications on Chadic and Hausa, written by scholars from around the globe, thereby creating the need for a new, up-to-date bibliography. Data gathered for this online edition, which was compiled using EndNote, an excellent and easy to use bibliographic database program, have come from my own library and internet searches as well as from a variety of published sources. Particularly valuable have been the reviews of the earlier bibliography, most notably the detailed review article by Baldi (1997), the Hausa and Chadic entries in the annual Bibliographie Linguistique, compiled over the past dozen years by Dr. Joe McIntyre, and the very useful list of publications found regularly in Méga-Tchad.

Kodikologie und Paläographie im digitalen Zeitalter 2 - Codicology and Palaeography in the Digital Age 2

Der Einsatz digitaler Technik verändert den wissenschaftlichen Umgang mit der handgeschriebenen Überlieferung. Dieser Band vertieft Fragen zu Digitalisierung und Katalogisierung, zu automatischer Schrifterkennung und Schriftanalyse, und er erweitert eine Diskussion, die mit dem im letzten Jahr erschienenen ersten Band zur digitalen Handschriftenforschung angestossen worden ist: Welche Erkenntnisse können etwa naturwissenschaftliche Methoden liefern? Welche musik- und kunsthistorischen Fragestellungen lassen sich mit Hilfe moderner Informationstechnologien beantworten? Wie lassen sich Methoden einer digitalen Auswertung lateinischer Handschriften auf griechische, glagolithische oder ägyptische Texte anwenden? Der raum-zeitliche Rahmen der hier von einer internationalen Autorenschaft zusammengetragenen 22 wissenschaftlichen Beiträge reicht vom alten Ägypten bis ins Paris der Postmoderne.
