A planned server change by the IT department of Cologne University in the following week may result in the unavailability of our website. We are best prepared for this change, but in case of any occuring problems, we endeavour to keep downtime as short as possible and take care to make all functions and contents available immediately.
Here are some impressions from the presentation of the Bibliotheca at TEI MM 2013, La Sapienza, Rome.
Here´s our poster and the accompanying slide to the presentation.
The Bibliotheca legum project will be presented at noon in the Levy Hall. Our poster is already on display there as well.
During a field trip to southern German libraries, the three Lex Salica manuscripts Can. 12, Jur. 35 and (ad) Bibl. 30c of Bamberg State Library were subject to a thorough examination.
We were successfull in reconstructing some etched part of the Salic Law in codex Jur. 35 (foll. 5r and 5v). The order of the etched titles (in comparison to the relevant edition by Eckhardt) is as follows:
5r
2,12
2,13
2,14
2,15
2,16
2,17
5v
2,10
Codex Can. 12 also carries an etched part after the XX. title of Hincmar of Reims. Although it was not possible to identify the erased text, it can be said with some certainty that it is not the title following in the MGH edition).
The book of abstracts for the TEI MM in Rome is now avilable in pdf format on the conference website.
The Bibliotheca legum team will be presenting a poster at the TEI Members Meeting 2013 in Rome.
On monday (April 8th 2013) this year´s Day of DH will take place. On this day, scholars from around the world that consider themselves as being part of the Digital Humanities community blog about what they do on one day.
Since we perceive the “Bibliotheca legum” not only as a historical, but also as a digital humanities project, we also take part in the Day of DH documenting our work.

Since we are currently running a first user test on the German version of this website, we take the time to add some information on the English Bibliotheca legum site.
There´s still a lot to be done!
