Cantus: A Database for Latin Ecclesiastical Chant - Inventories of Chant Sources | Cantus Manuscript Database https://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/
"Cantus is a database of the Latin chants found in manuscripts and early printed books, primarily from medieval Europe. This searchable digital archive holds inventories of antiphoners and breviaries -- the main sources for the music sung in the Latin liturgical Office -- as well as graduals and other sources for music of the Mass."
@ClaireFromClare@medievodons I'm glad you liked. Thank you for the new url - I didn't notice the small letters on the top. If you like medieval music you might also be interested on these:
"Explanations of why nocturnal insects fly erratically around fires and lamps have included theories of “lunar navigation” and “escape to the light”. However, without three-dimensional flight data to test them rigorously, the cause for this odd behaviour has remained unsolved."
"Enquête: Comment plus de 200 planches originales d’Edgar P. Jacobs ont-elles pu sortir du coffre-fort de sa fondation pour être discrètement vendues à des collectionneurs ? « Le Monde » révèle les dessous de cette affaire mêlant experts de prestigieuses maisons de ventes aux enchères, richissimes acheteurs et un étrange amateur de Rolls-Royce."
"In the theory of cellular automata, an oscillator is a pattern that repeats itself after a fixed number of generations; that number is called its period. A cellular automaton is called omniperiodic if there exist oscillators of all periods. "
"It aims to extend the study of the dissemination of plainchant from localized research focused mostly on Europe and the Middle Ages to global research tracing transmission to other continents through to the modern era. "
@ClaireFromClare@medievodons I don't own any fragment or know other individuals that own, besides archives or museums. But there are lot of repositories regarding this kind of music and some of them thoroughly register their origin and whereabouts. You may already know most of them:
"The "Save the Bees" campaign addresses the alarming decline in bee populations. Robots like the BeeHome, equipped with AI and computer vision, could revolutionize beekeeping by monitoring and addressing colony issues. This hi-tech approach aims to mitigate the loss of bees, which threatens global food supply. Other efforts include using AI-powered robots for crop pollination and promoting eco-friendly practices."
"The project ‘The Art of Reading in the Middle Ages’ will show the importance of medieval reading culture as a European movement by bringing together (digitised) manuscripts produced between c. 500 and c. 1550 from across Europe, unlocking their educational potential by curational and editorial enrichment, using innovative ways for displaying and handling digital objects in an educational context."
"A set of dot matrix fonts in the style of TFL's Underground network. Each font weight represents a unique typeface featured on TFL arrivals boards and rolling stock led announcement boards."
A good curl reference guide:
Everything curl https://everything.curl.dev/
"Everything curl is an extensive guide for all things curl. The project, the command-line tool, the library, how everything started and how it came to be the useful tool it is today. It explains how we work on developing it further, what it takes to use it, how you can contribute with code or bug reports and why millions of existing users use it. #linux#curl#book#reference
It's a know phenomena of self-organization in birds and an example in emerging phenomena in complexity:
How do flocking birds move in unison? https://earthsky.org/earth/how-do-flocking-birds-move-in-unison/
"We’ve all seen flocks of birds wheeling and swooping in unison, as if choreographed. How do they do this? Zoologists say they aren’t simply following a leader or their neighbors. If they were, the reaction time of each bird would need to be very fast. In fact, it would have to be faster than birds can react, according to scientists who’ve studied the reaction times of individual birds in laboratory settings." #complexity#self-organization #flocking#birds#biology
Hello, it's time for an #introduction. I'm interested in science in general with focus on mathematics, complexity, astronomy, cryptography, networks, music and paleontology (not necessarily in this order and not a closed list). I came to Mastodon as a means to stay in touch with the latest developments in scientific topics.
