Visualizing Faith

Looking forward to speaking in Trento in April on Visual and multimodal AI. It’s a hybrid event for those interested in tuning in from afar!

A rare and remarkable occurrence of two female printer-publishers not only working together but using their given names: Yolande Bonhomme's imprint and Charlotte Guillard's colophon in an edition of Augustine published in Paris in 1541 (USTC 204524)! hdl.handle.net/10481/10736

This really is a tremendous book. A great read and exceptionally thoughtful.

How to do #TEI annotation with #GPT-4: prompt engineering advice & examples from @LurchPollin at @DHdKonferenz #DHd2024

The entire pipeline of #TEI annotation with #GPT: - initial markup with a custom GPT-based model - a loop of validation against the TEI-schema - a TEI verification LLM - a human editor in the loop - a fully encoded TEI/XML demonstrated by @LurchPollin at @DHdKonferenz #DHd2024

🚨New AI for Humanists tutorials just dropped!🚨 We have code notebooks for using LLMs to: - measure document similarity - classify texts with zero-shot prompting We explore narrativity in texts, historical & ChatGPT poetry, and book reviews. Tutorial effort led by @gyauney!

Curious what early modern printers earned? In 1693, printers at the #PlantinPress earned up to 6 florins weekly. Compositors’ wage fluctuated between 5 and 8 fl. a week. Collators earned only 3 fl. 12 st. weekly. At the time, 1 florin was enough to buy about 30 dried herrings.
