The Institute for Classical and Medieval Studies (ICMS) and the Canisius Digital Humanities Group will welcome Neil Coffee, PhD, professor of classics at the University at Buffalo, to Canisius on Thursday, November 21 at 2:00 p.m. in Grupp Fireside Lounge.
Coffee will discuss the Tesserae Project, which he founded in 2008 as an effort to trace intertextuality and allusion in literary texts using computational means. The presentation will discuss what the free online Tesserae tool does for searching in ancient Greek, Latin and English. It will touch on the computational basis for the work and will address how he has managed a successful, grant-funded digital humanities project for over a decade.
His interests include Latin epic poetry, Roman social history, ancient philosophy and digital approaches to literary and intellectual history. Coffee is the author of The Commerce of War: Exchange and Social Order in Latin Epic and Gift and Gain: How Money Transformed Ancient Rome. He is co-editor of the 2019 “Intertextuality in Flavian Epic Poetry.” His current book project is entitled Serenity and Engagement: An Ancient Search for Balance.
Refreshments will be served.

Thanks to the support of the Western New York Library Resources Council (WNYLRC) Archival Services Program, The Rev. Ludwig Bonvin, SJ, Collection will be fully processed during Canisius’ 150th year, which also is the 80th anniversary of Bonvin’s death. Kristine Kasbohm, library director, announced that this support will make this important collection, housed in the Rev. J. Clayton Murray, SJ, Archives and Special Collections in the Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ, Library, more fully accessible.
Rev. Ludwig Bonvin, SJ (1850-1939), a Swiss-born internationally respected Jesuit, composer and professor, spent most of his priestly life at Canisius College beginning in 1870. He was an authority on Gregorian chant and liturgical music. Driving this project are conservation and preservation concerns related to its fragile paper-based contents. These include musical scores and compositions (liturgical and secular), hand-written scholarly publications, personal correspondence and journals, photographs and critical exploration of Gregorian chant, which is enjoying a revival in the church.
For more information, contact Kathleen DeLaney, archivist and special collections librarian, at Ext. 8421.
