Lots of #TEIFriday planning going on today. Some highlights: We're going to hold an #EpiDoc training workshop in Glasgow this December! Details and signup to follow very soon. A great group of people involved @ndefaoite.bsky.social @trishaoconnor88.bsky.social @dralexa.bsky.social 💯

*Widame (Proto-Celtic “we found out”), a conference for postgraduate scholars in Celtic Studies, will take place November 7th & 8th 2025 in 1.33 IONTAS in @maynoothuniversity.ie. Conference schedule and registration is available here: buff.ly/b3GjydF Register by the 10th of October 2025.

#TEIFriday Today's TEI-related musing brought by EpiDoc Guidelines local practice documentation and concordance (via the ogham.glasgow.ac.uk project). What if a letter is incomplete and could therefore be read as any of several potential letters?

Yesterday was the big day: The team of the Glasgow-Maynooth OG(H)AM project celebrated the end of four years of intensive work (2021-5) with the launch - in the venerable rooms of the Royal Irish Academy @ria.ie - of the new, revised and hugely updated 𝕆𝕘𝕙𝕒𝕞 𝕚𝕟 𝟛𝔻 database and website. /1

My book Landscapes of Kingship in Early Medieval Ireland is finally out, and it’s a beaut. In bookshops tomorrow but you can order online here - only €45! First interdisciplinary study of early Irish kingship, focusing on landscape/spatial dimensions of rule: www.fourcourtspress.ie/books/2025/l...

Delighted to be taking part in #HeritageWeek2025 this year with the launch of our publication 'Ogham Stones of County Mayo' by Mayo County Council Heritage Office on Wednesday evening! @heritagecouncil.ie @mayocountycouncil.bsky.social

This is shockingly sad news. Among the countless incredible achievements and qualities of Andrew West 魏安 was also his foundational and inspirational contribution to the digitisation of ogam. Scríbthar a ainm n-ogaim!

Happy International Day of Ogham! Although the OG(H)AM project has sadly now finished, work on ogham continues. Here is a sneak preview of our digital corpus, still under development, but due to be launched in September! #InternationalDayOfOgham #OG_H_AM

Located next to a small holy well, not far from Kilmovee in County Mayo, this ogham stone may be one of the earliest recorded in Ireland based on its inscription. When translated, it reads: ALATTOS MAQI BR[--. (see the excellent Oghamin3D ogham.celt.dias.ie/stone.php?la...) #Ireland #Archaeology

Friends & colleagues, the amazing OG(H)AM project, a collaboration between Dept. of Celtic & Gaelic @uofglasgow.bsky.social & Dept. of Early Irish @ceilteachomn.bsky.social @maynoothuniversity.ie @muahi.bsky.social is slowly coming to an end. With a smile & a tear, I present the final instalment...

Thank you so much to @padraicmoran.bsky.social for this thought-provoking keynote lecture at our recent Digital Epigraphy workshop @maynoothuniversity.ie (funded by @researchireland.ie) and now also a blog post so that many more can benefit from Pádraic's valuable insights into this important topic👏

Great session with @3dgroovanstones.bsky.social at the Digital Epigraphy workshop @tcddublin.bsky.social participants have successfully exported #RTI images using Relight and have created interactable files that can be manipulated in #RTI Viewer. @palaeofuturist.bsky.social @ndefaoite.bsky.social

Time to learn #RTI, an imaging technique that creates an interactable file in which you can change the lighting position to create a different angle of raking light to emphasise features of an inscribed object. @3dgroovanstones.bsky.social @palaeofuturist.bsky.social @ndefaoite.bsky.social

We're experimenting with network graphs for manuscripts in Irish script on mira.ie. Each edge (line) here is a MS—black edges indicate primary movement (from a place of origin), pink edges secondary movement (from a place of provenance). Nodes marked "L" are modern libraries. MSS were highly mobile!

In the mid-9th century, amidst fierce Viking raids, scribes in northeast Ireland copied a Latin textbook written in 6th-century Constantinople, this manuscript, is key to understanding the Irish language of the time. #NMIBlog #MuseumBlog #CuratorBlog #Archaeology www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collec...
