encoded: Call for Reviews auf Englisch Das Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik (IDE) lädt Wissenschaftler*innen ein, Rezensionen für eine Sonderausgabe von RIDE: A Review Journal for Scholarly Digital Editions and Resources einzureichen. Diese widmet sich digitalen Editionen dramatischer Texte und verwandter theaterspezifischer Materialien. Die computerunterstützte Analyse dramatischer Texte zieht bereits seit geraumer Zeit wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Dieses anhaltende Interesse hat nicht nur den akademischen Diskurs belebt, sondern auch zur Entwicklung und systematischen Organisation digitaler Sammlungen von Dramen geführt. Dabei stehen diese Bemühungen in engem Zusammenhang mit allgemeinen Entwicklungen in den Digital Humanities und insbesondere mit dem Bereich der Computational Literary Studies, in dem die Entstehung der Computational Drama Analysis ein spezialisiertes Forschungsfeld hervorgebracht hat, welches sich mit der Modellierung, Analyse und Interpretation von Dramen mithilfe digitaler Methoden befasst. Ein Grund für das anhaltende und wachsende Interesse liegt unterdessen in der besonderen Natur dramatischer Texte selbst. Wie Melanie Andresen und Nils Reiter in der Einleitung zu ihrem gleichnamigen Sammelband feststellen: „Compared to other literary genres, dramatic texts have unique characteristics that make them both well-suited and challenging for quantitative and formal methods“ (Andresen and Reiter 2024). Im Bereich der digitalen Editionen sind wissenschaftliche Editionen von Theaterstücken jedoch vergleichsweise selten, und sowohl aus methodischer als auch aus konzeptioneller Sicht haben Editionen von Dramen bislang nur wenig kritische Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Dramen sind per Definition performative Texte, die für die Aufführung auf der Bühne konzipiert wurden, durch die Interaktion mit dem Publikum geprägt sind und tief in die institutionellen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen des Theaters eingebettet sind. Ihre Überlieferung und Interp…

encoded: Call for Reviews in German The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) invites scholars to contribute reviews to a special issue of RIDE: A Review Journal for Scholarly Digital Editions and Resources, focusing on digital scholarly editions of dramatic texts and related theatrical materials. Computer-assisted analysis of dramatic texts has been attracting scholarly attention for quite some time. This sustained interest has not only fueled academic discourse but also led to the development and systematic organization of digital collections of dramatic texts. These efforts are closely aligned with broader trends in the Digital Humanities, and more specifically with the field of Computational Literary Studies, where the emergence of ‘Computational Drama Analysis’ has established a focused research area concerned with modeling, analyzing, and interpreting drama through computational methods. Thereby, one reason for the continuing and growing interest lies in the unique nature of dramatic texts themselves. As Melanie Andresen and Nils Reiter note in the introduction to their eponymous anthology: “Compared to other literary genres, dramatic texts have unique characteristics that make them both well-suited and challenging for quantitative and formal methods” (Andresen and Reiter 2024). Within the domain of Digital Editing, however, scholarly editions of plays are relatively rare, and from both methodological and conceptual standpoints, editions of drama have received comparatively little critical engagement. Plays are inherently performative texts, designed for live performance, shaped by audience interaction, and deeply embedded in the institutional and cultural frameworks of the theater. Their transmission and interpretation are, therefore, uniquely dynamic and multifaceted. On this point—that “dramatic texts are (often, not always) intended to be performed on stage”—it was also noted that this “adds an additional layer to the text that is very difficult t…

Reviewed by Lucrezia Pograri (Università di Bologna), lucrezia.pograri@studio.unibo.it. || Abstract: This review critically evaluates Gli anni della cupola 1417–1436, the digital edition aiming to offer unprecedented access to over 1.8 million archival records from the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore archive, documenting the construction of Brunelleschi’s famous dome of the Florence cathedral, and its civic context. Featuring high-quality reproductions and textual transcriptions of original documents, it facilitates in-depth investigations into topics like workforce management and financial administration, positioning itself as an invaluable tool for scholars and historians. This review assesses the project’s alignment with FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) and its effectiveness as a scholarly resource. Recommendations focus on improving data model interoperability and adopting robust preservation strategies to ensure long-term accessibility. By addressing these areas, the review underscores the project’s significance in advancing Digital Humanities and historical research, while proposing enhancements to strengthen its role as a key resource for studying one of history’s most iconic architectural feats. Introduction and General Parameters 1Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral of Florence, stands as a testament to the artistic and architectural achievements of the Italian Renaissance. The term complex of Santa Maria del Fiore refers not only to the cathedral itself but also to the adjacent structures that form an integral part of Florence’s religious and civic identity, including the Baptistery of San Giovanni and Giotto’s Bell Tower. At the heart of this ensemble is Filippo Brunelleschi’s1 dome, a hallmark of Renaissance architecture and an engineering marvel of its time. This groun…

Reviewed by Marcus Feldbrügge (Bergische Universität Wuppertal), feldbruegge@uni-wuppertal.de. || Abstract: After his return from deportation, Otto Frank, father of Anne Frank, decreed that the annex in which the family hid during WWII should no longer be furnished. For this reason, Anne Frank’s world-famous writing place is vacant today. With the project The Secret Annex (3D), which was launched in 2010, and the VR application The Anne Frank House VR, which has existed since 2018, the Anne Frank Foundation is finally venturing to restore the annex virtually to its former state. In this way, the Anne Frank House wants to create an immersive environment that gives users an impression of the living conditions in the annex at the time of WWII. Although it is obvious from the outset that the resource under review is not a digital edition in the classical sense, it is nevertheless reviewed on the assumption that it is one according to the RIDE-‘Criteria for Reviewing Digital Editions and Resources’. It aims to emphasise the added value ‘Virtual Reality’ (VR) could have for digital edition practice. Einführung 1Das Anne Frank Haus (AFH) in Amsterdam beherbergt die Stätte, in welcher sich die Familie Frank und noch vier weitere Personen zwischen 1942 und 1944 vor dem aufrückenden Nazi-Regime versteckt hielten. In diesem Zeitraum verfasste Anne Frank ihr weltweit berühmt gewordenes Tagebuch, wodurch sie zu einer Symbolfigur für die Schrecken und Qualen des jüdischen Volks während der Shoah avancierte. Seit seiner Gründung im Jahr 1957 hat sich das AFH das Ziel gesetzt, das ehemalige Versteck der Familie Frank zu erhalten und ausgehend von Annes Leben „Ausstellungen, pädagogische Programme und Produkte“1, die sich mit der Gefahr von „Antisemitismus, Rassismus und Diskrimi…

Reviewed by Manuele Veggi (Sapienza University of Rome), manuele.veggi@uniroma1.it. || Abstract: The following contribution is focused on Bayeux Tapestry Digital Edition (BTDE), a project addressed to a heterogeneous audience that aims to describe this famous embroidery from different perspectives. Indeed, not only does this scholarly edigital edition (SDE) provide a high-quality facsimile of this artwork, but it also tries to reconstruct its historical and cultural background. This review mainly aims at describing the contents of the edition and their presentation, considering also the available approaches and tools when BTDE was first published. Moreover, it suggests possible further implementations and highlights minor issues in the sustainability and in the rendering of the Latin inscriptions. The review will show how the project can be considered a pioneering example of a scholarly digital edition, which managed to reconstruct the complexity of the chosen document in a digital environment, proposing an interesting solution to combine multimedia assets. Introduction 1The Bayeux Tapestry is an almost 70-meter-long embroidery visually and verbally describing the events related to William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings (1066). The narration of the deeds is provided by a variegated iconographic apparatus and short Latin inscriptions, which make the Tapestry “a historical account, but also an essential source of information on the way of life in the Middle Ages: it is therefore a documentary record which employs particular narrative techniques and makes use of symbolism” (UNESCO 2006, 1). 2Its complex nature and its historical relevance awoke considerable historical interest in the field of scholarly editions. The Tapestry was rediscovered in 1728 by Bernard de Montfaucon, who curated the first facsimile reproduction; thi…

Reviewed by Erik Renz (Universität Rostock), erik.renz@uni-rostock.de. || Abstract: This paper reviews the digital edition Jean Paul – Sämtliche Briefe digital, which presents the complete correspondence of the German poet Johann Paul Friedrich Richter (1763–1825). Commissioned by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the edition features three distinct projects: the letters written by Jean Paul, the letters addressed to him, and the letters from his closest family, friends, and colleagues. Each project has different origins—such as the historical-critical edition of Jean Paul’s works and letters, started by Eduard Berend in the mid-1920s—as well as varying editors, funding sources, methodologies, and goals. Currently, letters from the first and last projects have been transcribed, and the platform provides free full-text access to them. Additionally, data from all projects are linked to a comprehensive index for easy searching and connected to external tools that enhance text analysis and visualization. Future updates will complete the digital edition by including the letters addressed to Jean Paul, which are currently available only in printed form. The edition strives to unify this broad and diverse material within a single platform, not merely placing the individual projects side by side but integrating them into a cohesive whole—without compromising usability. While this has largely been successful, methodological differences between the projects pose challenges for the user experience. These difficulties are further compounded by the occasionally cumbersome presentation of secondary information, which can hinder both accessibility and ease of use.
