Grandfather of Digital Humanities

Professor Paul Tombeur (UCLouvain), until recently director of the Centre ‘Traditio Litterarum Occidentalium’ (CTLO), can be rightly called the grandfather of Digital Humanities, having introduced computer-aided  research in the humanities and more particularly in the field of Latin literature as early as the 1970s.

Database of Latin Text and Lexicographical Material

For about 35 years, the CTLO has continuously invested in what is the largest database of Latin text and lexicographical material, applying rigorous scholarly criteria and consistency to the whole of its corpus. The information stored in its numerous databases serves editors of Latin texts and visitors to the Corpus Christianorum Library & Knowledge Centre.

The video is in French.
