Project Homepage:
A
Digital Rood Prototype
Get up close and personal with one-of-a-kind
priceless Anglo-Saxon artifacts! Wanna swing like a monkey on a twenty-foot
standing stone cross? Wanna juggle a gilded oaken reliquary fashioned to protect
a sliver of the True Cross? Wanna zoom in so close you can see the follicles on
a thousand-year-dead sheep's skin? Knock yourself out! Use the Prototype Digital Rood
Project to collate electronic multimedia editions of the Dream of the Rood
text recorded on the sandstone of the Ruthwell Cross, on the gold of the
Brussels Cross, and on the parchment of the Vercelli Book. Use the "Rune
Reader" and "Rune Navigator" functions to perform your runic transcription and
translation exercise; engage the "Vercelli Text" function to transcribe and to
translate the manuscript text and thus complete your paleographical exercise;
use the "Brussels Text" function...oh, hell; you get the idea! |
