DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n      “To use tools well\, we must\, in some rea
 l sense\, understand them better than the tool maker. The best kind of to
 ols are therefore the ones that we make ourselves.” Dennis Tenen\, Debat
 es in DH 2016  Starting from the example of Trismegistos ( www.trismegisto
 s.org )\, this talk will discuss how digital tools are transforming antiqu
 ity research. Heuristics used to be the most time-consuming task of the sc
 holar\, but are increasingly a matter of a few mouse-clicks. This implies 
 that scholars of the ancient world will have more time to do what lies a
 t the core of the humanities: asking questions and study ancient society a
 nd culture critically. On the other hand some of these new questions can o
 nly be answered by developing new tools.  Co-sponsored by the Program in t
 he Ancient World and the Center for Digital Humanities. Full event details
