STG participated in the writing of the NEH grant proposal to
create a full, analytical digital publication of a study of
monasticism based on material from St.-Jean-des-Vignes. Our goal is to
build on the work of the faculty grant project, but to create a
more richly linked, more dynamic environment in which to study
and ask questions about this monastery in particular and medieveal
European monasticism in general.
We are working with Anne Loyer, a graphic and information designer
from Wesleyan.
Sheila Bonde and Clark Maines have been excavating the
medieval monastery of St. Jean-des-Vignes in Soissons,
France since 1982. They have been investigating forms of
digital publication that will make it easy to link spatial
data such as site plans, elevations and photographs of the
site to the customary, a handbook that prescribes the
structure of daily and religious life for this particular
monastery. Sheila received an STG faculty grant in
2001-2002, to develop a pilot version of this project. She
has since made a successful proposal to NEH, jointly with
Wesleyan, to make full translations of the texts, generate new
drawings, and develop a full version of the website.
