Off the Beaten Track. Epigraphy at the Borders : Proceedings of 6th EAGLE International Event (24-25 September 2015, Bari, Italy) by Antonio E. Felle

This volume contains the papers presented during the Meeting `Off the Beaten Track - Epigraphy at the Borders', the sixth in a series of international events planned by the EAGLE, Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy international consortium.The Meeting was held on 24-25 September 2015, with the support of the Department of Classics and Late Antiquity Studies at the University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy). During the event, the EAGLE Portal (http://www.eagle-network.eu) was officially launched and presented to the public for the first time. The event was intended to address the issues which arise in digitizing inscriptions characterised by `unusual' features in comparison with the epigraphic norm. Here are collected contributions from several ongoing digital projects raising questions and proposing solutions regarding encoding inscriptions - from the Archaic period to the Middle Ages and beyond, even in languages other than Greek and Latin - which do not fall within those labelled as standard. The projects involved are the following: ILA - Iscrizioni Latine Arcaiche; The Ancient Graffiti Project; DASI - Digital Archive for the Study of pre-Islamic Arabian Inscriptions; EDB - Epigraphic Database Bari; EDV - Epigraphic Database Vernacular Inscriptions; AshLi - Ashmolean Latin Inscriptions Project.
