Subject: Traditions of Magic in Late Antiquity web site
Based on a display in the University of Michigan Library's Special
Collections, the Traditions of Magic in Late Antiquity web site is
available at
http://www.hti.umich.edu/exhibit/magic
The site, based on the exhibition catalog by Gideon Bohak, is divided into
three sections: one deals with manuals of magical practices, another
presents various protective devices, and the third presents some of the
more aggressive uses of ancient magic. Images of the objects,
translations of inscriptions, and information about their creation are
included.
The web site is sponsored by the Humanities Text Initiative.

>
>Server: A full-featured, production-quality Web server wholely written in Commo
>n
> Lisp is *freely* available from the following URL at the MIT Artificial
> Intelligence Laboratory.

>Q: Why might you care about this?

>A: You might be interested in:
>
> * Minimizing the cycle time from conceptualization to market.
> (Cooler than being last to market!)
>
> * Generating all HTML interfaces on the fly.
> (Cooler than terabytes of legacy html!)
>
> * Synthesing JavaScript and Java on the fly.
> (Cooler than typing it in by hand!)
>
> * Developing complex or advanced Web applications.
> (Cooler than serving static files!)
>
> * Creating intelligent, knowledge-based Web sites.
> (Cooler than even a "Netscape enchanced" site!)
>
>Language: Common Lisp is a dynamic, object-oriented programming language
>that is used to develop and deploy leading-edge applications in university,
> government,
>and business settings. This highly flexible and evolvable language has been
> typically used to develop
>large and complex artificial intelligence or natural languagge understanding
> systems. These kinds
>of power programming tools are becoming increasingly relevant for Web
> developers as ever more is required in ever less time.
>
>Platforms: The server presently runs with full source-compatibility on the
> following platforms:
>
> * Macintosh (MCL - Comes on the CD)
>
> * UNIX (Allegro, LispWorks, Lucid) (Many flavors, including SunOS,
> Solaris, SGI, OSF)
>
> * Lisp Machines (Symbolics 8.3, Open Genera 1.0)
>
>Additional ports are underway to the Windows environment and the free CLisp for
> UNIX

Subject: new biblical resources
The following resources are now available on the Humanities Text
Initiative's web server:
o New Testament (Rheims, 1582)
http://www.hti.umich.edu/relig/rheims/
o Die Bibel, Martin Luther trans.
http://www.hti.umich.edu/relig/luther/
Both texts were provided to the HTI by Jeffery Triggs of the
OED's North American Reading Program (NARP) and were then
converted from the NARP DTD to TEI Lite-conforming SGML. As
accessible at the above addresses, the SGML is used to facilitate
a variety of searches; the raw SGML can also be retrieved from
the "About ..." page of each resource.
