Monica Berti

Hi!
I'm Monica Berti

I am a Classicist and Digital Humanist.

My research is focused on the Graeco-Roman World and the Computational Analysis of Ancient Greek and Latin.

I teach academic courses in Ancient History, Digital Classics, Digital Philology and Digital Humanities.

Welcome to my personal website!

About me

Who Am I?

I am professor and DFG project leader at the University of Leipzig, where I teach courses in Digital Humanities, Digital Philology and Digital Classics, and I'm developing Named Entity Recognition and Annotation of Ancient Greek with a focus on bibliographic references to authors and works (DFG Project nr. 434173983).

My research interests are mainly focused on the Graeco-Roman World, the Computational Analysis of Ancient Greek and Latin, and the Digital Humanities. I have been extensively publishing and leading projects in these fields as part of the Open Greek and Latin (OGL) initiative at the Alexander von Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig and of the Perseus Digital Library at Tufts University.

As part of my teaching activities, I am program director of Sunoikisis Digital Classics, which is an international consortium of Digital Classics programs developed in collaboration with the Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies and the Institute of Classical Studies of the School of Advanced Study at the University of London.

My Scholarly Work

Projects and Research

The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series (LOFTS)

LOFTS establishes open editions of ancient works that survive only through quotations and text reuses in later texts (textual fragments). The project undertakes two tasks: 1) digitize paper editions of fragmentary works and link them to the source texts from which the fragments have been collected, and 2) produce new digital editions of fragmentary works.

The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series

Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum (DFHG)

The Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum (DFHG) is the digital version of the five volumes of the Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum (FHG) of Karl Müller (1841-1872). The DFHG is a digital collection of structured data that provides textual, philological, and historiographical solutions for representing fragmentary authors and works in a digital environment. The DFHG offers many tools and services that can be applied to other collections of fragmentary texts.

Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum

Digital Athenaeus

The Digital Athenaeus is the digital edition of the Deipnosophists of Athenaeus of Naucratis with a focus on annotating quotations and text reuses in order to provide an inventory and a data model of authors and works referred to in the Deipnosophists. The Greek text of the Deipnosophists is based on the Teubner edition of Georg Kaibel (1887-1890) and the Digital Athenaeus provides users with tools for accessing the text and getting information about authors and works quoted by Athenaeus.

Digital Athenaeus

Digital Marmor Parium

The Digital Marmor Parium Project is a new digital edition of the Parian Marble, which is a Hellenistic chronicle on a marble slab coming from the Greek island of Paros and preserving a Greek chronology (1581/80 - 299/98 BC) with a list of kings and archons accompanied by short references to historical events mainly based on the Athenian history. The project provides images and drawings of the inscription, and digital data about named entities, chronological expressions, and linguistic information preserved by the text of the Parian Marble.

Digital Marmor Parium

demo.fragmentarytexts.org

demo.fragmentarytexts.org is a project for experimenting tools and devising methods for representing quotations and text reuses of lost authors and works (textual fragments). It collects different examples from ancient Greek authors, whose texts are rich of quotations and text reuses of lost works. The project uses Ajax technology to represent fragmentary texts and an Open Source CMS enriched with plugins created ad-hoc in order to add visual functionalities.

demo.fragmentarytexts.org

Digital Rosetta Stone

The Digital Rosetta Stone (Der Stein von Rosette digital) is a project for producing a digital edition of the Rosetta Stone with textual alignment, translation alignment, and morphosyntactic annotations of the three scripts of the inscription. The project is developed in collaboration with the Ägyptologisches Institut at the University of Leipzig, the British Museum, and the Digital Epigraphy Project.
