Resumen
Situated within the broader field of Digital Humanities, Digital Classics is
concerned with the application of computational methods and theories to the
study of the Greco-Roman and wider ancient world. Over the last decade or
so, a decentralised and international community of researchers in this area
has emerged, centred around the Digital Classicist. In addition to curating a
wiki, and conversations over discussion lists in two languages, this community has been organising several seminar series aimed at providing a venue for
discussion of work in progress. Indeed, some of the chapters in this collection
arose from papers given at the Digital Classicist seminars in Berlin or London,
although the majority were conceived or commissioned afresh for this publication. The scholarly community in the context of which this volume is coming
into being, however, has been formed around both sets of seminars (plus those
in Leipzig, Tufts and Göttingen), a series of conference panels, and previous
volumes arising from them that were published by the Digital Medievalist journal, by Ashgate Press, and as a supplement to the Bulletin of the Institute of
Classical Studies respectively
