Website

As of September 2019, our website has been completely revamped. Here is a brief tour of what’s new:
  • Torah Portion Pages - Every Torah portion now has its own page, with info on the parasha, featured topics, and a list of all essays on the parasha.
  • The Five Books - Pages for each of the Five Books of the Torah are organized around topics found in each book, with links to the Torah portions.
  • Holiday Pages - Essays on each of the holidays are organized and easily navigable by topic.
  • Scholarship and Faith - We now have pages with collected essays on Biblical Criticism, Modern Faith, Archaeology, Morality & Ethics, and more, highlighting academic scholarship as well as thought pieces grappling with faith and religious observance.
  • Individual Author Pages - Authors each have their own pages, including bio, their articles on TheTorah.com, and books written by the author.
  • Inline Footnotes - In addition to having the footnotes at the end of the article, you can view them as you read (desktop: on hover, mobile: on tap).
  • Article Topics - Articles are now tagged with related topics, which you can drill into and view other articles on that topic.
  • Browse Topics - You can browse and discover all topics on a single page.
  • Search - Research any subject easily with our improved search feature.
  • Citation Tool - Cite our articles in SBL and APA format.
We hope you enjoy the new site as much as we do. If you have any feedback, we’d love to hear from you.

Qoruyo: Models for Automatic Transcription of Manuscripts

Qoruyo: Models for Automatic Transcription of Manuscripts 
The Beth Mardutho Qoruyo project seeks to develop tools and resources for successful optical character recognition (OCR) and handwritten-text recognition (HTR) of printed and handwritten Syriac texts.
The project is now pleased to announce the Beth Mardutho Transkribus HTR models, which can automatically transcribe handwritten Syriac documents written in Estrangelo, East Syriac, and Serto, with up to 98% accuracy.
Acknowledgements
These models were trained as part of the Beth Mardutho Summer Fellowship Program 2019.The Estrangeloand Serto models were trained by Kyle Brunner (NYU), and the East Syriac model was trained by Abigail Pearson (University of Exeter).
What is Transkribus?
Transkribus is a free software program which can automatically transcribe handwritten text from digital images using HTR technology.  Completed transcriptions can then be edited, searched, tagged, and exported using tools available in the program.   
Using Transkribus, we have trained the following three HTR models to recognise handwritten Syriac in all three scripts with impressive accuracy:
Qoruyo Estrangelo Beta 1.0 – up to 98% accuracy
Qoruyo East Syriac Beta 1.0 – up to 95% accuracy
Qoruyo Serto Beta 1.0 – up to 96% accuracy
These models are accessible to anyone with a Transkribus account and, as they were trained using data from several manuscripts, they can be used successfully on a variety of handwriting styles.

Open Access Journal: Rivista di Diritto Romano

[First posted in AWOL 6 November 2009. Updated 18 September 2019]

Rivista di Diritto Romano
ISSN 1720-3694
http://www.ledonline.it/rivistadirittoromano/immagini/diritto.gif
Qualcuno potrebbe chiedersi se, in presenza di numerosi e autorevoli periodici di diritto romano e diritti dell'antichità pubblicati anche e soprattutto in Italia, fosse proprio il caso di metterne in cantiere uno nuovo: se fosse un lettore tendenzialmente benevolo e animato da incrollabile fiducia nel principio della concorrenza, potrebbe forse dare risposta positiva affermando che l'ingresso di un nuovo operatore sul mercato (!) dovrebbe portare a un miglioramento dell'offerta in generale.
In realtà, una tale prospettiva potrebbe risultare deludente: scopo di questa rivista, infatti, non è certamente quello di togliere spazio alle altre già esistenti, né quello di stimolare una gara per conquistare il primo premio in una improbabile classifica di periodici romanistici. Essa vorrebbe invece in primo luogo colmare una lacuna: manca infatti una rivista di diritto romano pubblicata, prima ancora che sul tradizionale supporto cartaceo, sulla rete di Internet, e quindi in grado di coordinare i non trascurabili vantaggi che tale strumento telematico può fornire alla ricerca romanistica.
