First of all: a Happy (Belated) New Year, everyone! Although it’s been almost 2 months since my last Lexicon of Scholarly Editing update, I’m happy to report that the Lexicon has made quite some progress in the meantime. Rather than posting a blogpost every time I’ve added a new source to the Lexicon, I thought…
Yesterday I added a series of new definitions from Jean Bellemin-Noël‘s 1972 monograph titled: Le texte et l’avant-texte: les brouillons d’un poème de Milosz to the Lexicon of Scholarly Editing. An important text for the Lexicon, not only because Bellemin-Noël starts his monograph off by suggesting a series of definitions of relevant concepts, but also because it…
Since today, our Lexicon of Scholarly Editing displays a short excerpt right below every entry, that identifies the sources of the definitions it contains (chronologically). This way, you can now easily see how many definitions the entry has to offer, and whose definitions they are. If you notice any important lacunae in our Lexicon (of which there…
Since returning from an inspiring ESTS conference in Paris at the end of last week, I’ve made some adjustments to the Lexicon of Scholarly Editing. First, I’ve installed the Jetpack plugin, which shows some interesting website stats, improves how the website is displayed on mobile devices, adds a series of sharing buttons at the bottom…
Today we’ve finally imported the entire glossary of Almuth Grésillon’s Eléments de critique génétique into the Lexicon of Scholarly Editing. This proved to be quite a challenge, not only because of its size, but because it obliged us to find many English translations for nuanced French concepts. We hope we did a good job, but welcome…
Last Thursday, Elena Pierazzo showed the readers of her blog an interesting look behind the scenes of The Book she is currently writing. As her post shows, she is working on concepts like text, work, document, and on the emphasis different types of scholars put on materiality and physical documents in their research. These topics…
Wraps make great lunches. It’s not your average sandwich, but not so much more of an effort to make. This wrap does require us to make an omelette first. But when that’s done, it’s basically just piling and folding and you’re done. Ingredients (for 3 wraps) 1 onion 4 to 5 eggs Parmesan 3 Wraps Lettuce…
Tonight we’ll be serving fish burgers. Not for strict vegetarians, but great for omnivores and pescetarians. And also not difficult to make. Ingredients: 1 salmon filet per burger Bun (1/2 chiabatta per burger) Iceberg lettuce Tomatoes Spring oninons Wasabi Mayonnaise Japanese 7 spices powder (or chillipowder) Salt & pepper As usual, let’s start with the burgers.…
This week, I’m making one of my classic appetizers: ‘Snøfrisk’: a fresh wrap-appetizer with smoked salmon and goat cheese. Snøfrisk’s actually the name of a Norwegian brand of goat cheese, that you can easily spread across a slice of bread. A little like chavroux, or other types of spreadable goat cheese they serve in those…
This burger’s a little different. This time no burger of the ‘the-more-meat-the-merrier’ kind, but rather the opposite: a veggie burger. Why? We have a number of vegetarian friends, and when they visit, we want to be able to offer them something that’s not just a meat dish minus the meat. And everybody loves burgers. So I…
