This repository is meant to bring together a corpus of TEI-encoded Neo-Latin dramas. The name JesDraCor is inspired by the naming pattern used in the DraCor project. It is infact one motivation to eventually contribute a number of Neo-Latin texts to the DraCor platform.
A first set of dramas will be encoded during the IANLS Vacation School: Digital Humanities and Neo-Latin Studies that will take place in Bonn from 1 through 5 march 2022. It will then be edited and continuously enriched with metadata (intertextual references, people, places etc.).
However, the research potential of a Corpus of Jesuit Drama goes much further. It can be the first step towards a virtual network of early modern Jesuit culture that encompasses, in addition to the text of the dramas themselves, information collected from archival materials (e.g. Diaria of single colleges, Litterae annuae) and other sources.
JesDraCor makes digitally available
- texts which have not yet been digitized (OCRed via the OCR4all pipeline),
- texts that are already available online in a machine-readible form and under an appropriate licence (especially in the CC-BY-licenced Camena Corpus), some of them may still need to be TEI-encoded,
- texts published in modern digital editions and made available in a digital format (e.g. pdf). Only the Latin text is extracted from the editions. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the texts themselves are in the public domain (as all authors died more than 70 years ago), only editorial interventions (in the apparatus) are protected by copyright.
- Furthermore, we would like to encourage authors of scholarly editions of Neo-Latin Jesuit drama to share their transcriptions of the texts with us under a CC-BY-licence. Your contribution will be made transparent, your work will be more visible, reach a different (and maybe wider) audience and benefit the research.
We intend to make available documentation and/or tutorials on how to produce, use, work on, and reuse digital editions of Neo-Latin Jesuit drama in the hopes to enrich the JesDraCor collection thanks to the collaboration of the research community. The research community, in turn, will benefit from an ample open corpus.
