In it the author explores the potential advantages and practical limitations, as well as existing mod- els of transnational resources—such as the Friedberg Genizah Project and the Institute of Micro lmed Hebrew Manuscripts, as well as del Barco and Vegas Montaner’s project of cataloguing the Hebrew manuscripts in Span- ish libraries—that could be considered when thinking of what form a Sep- hardic archive could take. This study also explores how issues of language and identity fare when translated into the metadata used to make digitized information available.Item Spanish Philology and the Arab Past: A Case Study(Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures, 2015) Hamilton, MichelleThis article studies how modern philologists have reconstructed a now lost ninth-century Arabic chronicle, the so-called Chronicle of al-Razi, through the account found in fifteenth-century Castilian chronicles of the defeat of the last Visigothic king of Iberia, Rodrigo. In addition to exploring the construction of a textual history that is populated by a series of phantasmal Iberian translators, manuscripts, and copyists, the creation of a modern Castilian edition of this lost Arabic chronicle speaks to the ideological basis and desires of modern, national philology.
