http://www.diamm.ac.uk/news/index.html The latest news from DIAMMM, the Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music. en-gb Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:00:00 GMT Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:54:00 GMT http://www.diamm.ac.uk/redist/rss oXygen 9.1 diamm@music.ox.ac.uk (Julia Craig-McFeely) webmaster@example.com (Real Name) We have received the excellent and exciting news of the award of a 1-year grant from the AHRC that will enable to project to run for a further year; to upgrade our excellent single-shot camera from 39 megapixels to 65 Mpx; to obtain further images of fragments in France and Italy; to create an online course in reading medieval music to accompany the manuscript images on the website; and to continue updating and improving the database content so that when the new website comes online the content will be more complete and more usefully searchable by users. Thu, 4 February 2010 00:00:01 GMT http://www.diamm.ac.uk/weblogItem022 Lynda Sayce, project photographer, has just returned from Spain, having spent two weeks with David Catalunya working in Spanish Libraries around Madrid and Barcelona. Fragments and complete sources from Barcelona, Burgos, Madrid, Solsona, Tarragona, Valladolid and Vallbona, were photographed in a whirlwind tour during some of the worst weather conditions for travel that we have yet encountered (it took 75 mins to get the car from my front door to the main road!). We await news on permissions for making these images available online. Mon, 25 January 2010 00:00:01 GMT http://www.diamm.ac.uk/weblogItem021 http://www.diamm.ac.uk/publications.html DIAMM is launching two high quality colour facsimile publications as the pilot outputs for DIAMM Publications: The Eton Choirbook and the Dow Partbooks. Full details of the publications, plus a generous pre-publication discount, can be seen on our publications page. Fri, 1 January 2010 00:00:01 GMT http://www.diamm.ac.uk/weblogItem020 This year’s Claude Palisca Prize for an outstanding edition or translation has been awarded to Margaret Bent for the introductory study and facsimile of the MS Bologna Q15. The photography, typesetting and page-makeup were all done by DIAMM, and the citation says "the quality of photography and reproduction is breathtaking. Photographed in color when it was disbound, with illegible pages digitally restored, the edition allows us to read some music for the very first time. Initials have been filmed on both sides enabling the editor to discern music that was discarded when the manuscript was recopied. Reproducing the original cover, watermarks, and gathering signatures, the facsimile can actually claim to be more useful and informative than having the original on one’s desk." The publication was the unanimous choice of the committee.
