Aims and Motivations
Aims of the SAWS project
bull To exploit digital technologies in order to understand and publish anthologies of ldquocitationsrdquobullTo focus on Greek and Arabic collections of lsquowise sayingsrsquo gnomologia from the 9th ndash 12th centuriesbull To investigate suchlsquognomicrsquo sayings moral and philosophical in Greek and ArabicbullTo build a framework and set of tools which others can use after us
What are gnomologia
bull A tradition of ldquowisdom literaturerdquo widely circulated in the antique Mediterranean and medieval periodbull Anthologies of extracts from larger texts containing wise or useful sayings created as practical response to the cost and inaccessibility of full texts bull We are focusing on manuscripts collecting moral or social advice or philosophical ideasbull In particular we are looking at Greek and Arabic collections from the 9th ndash 12th Centuries
Challenges for digital publication
Traditional approaches to digital publication are shapedbullBy the form and scale of the codexbullBy the concept of the ldquooriginal textrdquo
This material suggestsrequires a different modelbullInterrelated texts of equal (in some respects) meritbullScale is broader (extended network of relationships)bullBut also concerned with smaller units of content
Some examples

GV 87 Ὁ αὐτὸς ἐρωτηθεὶς τίνα μᾶλλον ἀγαπᾷ Φίλιππον ἢ Ἀριστοτέλην εἶπεν ldquoὁμοίως ἀμφοτέρους ὁ μὲν γάρ μοι τὸ ζῆν ἐχαρίσατο ὁ δὲ τὸ καλῶς ζῆν ἐπαίδευσενrdquo Alexander asked whom he loved more Philip or Aristotle said rdquoBoth equally for one gave me the gift of life the other taught me to live the virtuous life
He said Fathers are the cause of life but philosophers are the cause of the good life
Selections from the Sayings of the Four Philosophers (B) Pythagoras saying 18 (ed Gutas)
Diogenes Laertius 519 Life of Aristotle Tῶν γονέων τοὺς παιδεύσαντας ἐντιμοτέρους εἶναι τῶν μόνον γεννησάντων τοὺς μὲν γὰρ τὸ ζῆν τοὺς δὲ τὸ καλῶς ζῆν παρασχέσθαι Aristotle said that educators are more to be honored than mere begetters for the latter offer life but the former offer the good life
Plutarch Life of Alexander 841Ἀριστοτέλην δὲ θαυμάζων ἐν ἀρχῇ καὶ ἀγαπῶν οὐχ ἧττον ὡς αὐτὸς ἔλεγε τοῦ πατρός ὡς δι ἐκεῖνον μὲν ζῶν διὰ τοῦτον δὲ καλῶς ζῶν Alexander admired Aristotle at the start and loved him no less as he himself said than his own father since he had life through his father but the virtuous life through Aristotle hellip

Information Structures
Basic units of analysis are
a ldquocollection instancerdquo that is a particular physical occurrence of a collection in a manuscript
A ldquosnippetrdquo as indicated by a scribe in one particular manuscript
bull Thus different physical manuscripts imply
bull different ldquocollection instancesrdquo and bull different snippets (even if they are textually identical)
bullAll further relationships will be based around this unit
bull Each unit will be given a unique identifier (ie a URI)
bull We are recording all identified relationships and will then decide which ones we want to express
Relationships ndash some examples

TEI XML
TEI is now standard for encoding texts and creating editionsbullembed meaning within the transcribed textbull ensure interoperability with other projects

Challenges for digital publication
Traditional approaches to digital publication are shapedbullBy the form and scale of the codexbullBy the concept of the ldquooriginal textrdquo
This material suggestsrequires a different modelbullInterrelated texts of equal (in some respects) meritbullScale is broader (extended network of relationships)bullBut also concerned with smaller units of content
Some examples
Cod Vat Gr 743 f 11v Gnomologium Vaticanum
Underlining represents the small lines perhaps coloured that appears above names
GV 87 Ὁ αὐτὸς ἐρωτηθεὶς τίνα μᾶλλον ἀγαπᾷ Φίλιππον ἢ Ἀριστοτέλην εἶπεν ldquoὁμοίως ἀμφοτέρους ὁ μὲν γάρ μοι τὸ ζῆν ἐχαρίσατο ὁ δὲ τὸ καλῶς ζῆν ἐπαίδευσενrdquo Alexander asked whom he loved more Philip or Aristotle said rdquoBoth equally for one gave me the gift of life the other taught me to live the virtuous life
He said Fathers are the cause of life but philosophers are the cause of the good life
Selections from the Sayings of the Four Philosophers (B) Pythagoras saying 18 (ed Gutas)
Diogenes Laertius 519 Life of Aristotle Tῶν γονέων τοὺς παιδεύσαντας ἐντιμοτέρους εἶναι τῶν μόνον γεννησάντων τοὺς μὲν γὰρ τὸ ζῆν τοὺς δὲ τὸ καλῶς ζῆν παρασχέσθαι Aristotle said that educators are more to be honored than mere begetters for the latter offer life but the former offer the good life
Plutarch Life of Alexander 841Ἀριστοτέλην δὲ θαυμάζων ἐν ἀρχῇ καὶ ἀγαπῶν οὐχ ἧττον ὡς αὐτὸς ἔλεγε τοῦ πατρός ὡς δι ἐκεῖνον μὲν ζῶν διὰ τοῦτον δὲ καλῶς ζῶν Alexander admired Aristotle at the start and loved him no less as he himself said than his own father since he had life through his father but the virtuous life through Aristotle hellip

Information Structures
Basic units of analysis are
a ldquocollection instancerdquo that is a particular physical occurrence of a collection in a manuscript
A ldquosnippetrdquo as indicated by a scribe in one particular manuscript
bull Thus different physical manuscripts imply
bull different ldquocollection instancesrdquo and bull different snippets (even if they are textually identical)
bullAll further relationships will be based around this unit
bull Each unit will be given a unique identifier (ie a URI)
