Fyza Parviz Jazra has developed the Web-Edition of Ulugh Beg's Zij-i Sultani as a final assignment of Dr. Elaine Treharne's course on The Human Story in the Archives.
This project is still in its initial phase and is being actively developed. It will eventually be part of a Digital Humanities component to her Master's thesis on Arabic Astronomy in Seventeenth-Century England: John Greaves's Rediscovery of Oriental Astronomical Tables. This project is also sponsored by the Poetic Media Lab at Stanford.
I would like to thank Dr. Elaine Treharne for her wonderful course this Summer on the Archives and helping me define the various components of this initial version of the Web-Edition. I would also like to thank Dr. Ben Albritton (Special Collections) for informing me about the various web-annotation technologies and his continued support. Dr. Amir Eshel (DLCL, Poetic Media Lab) was kind enough to include this project as part of the lab. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge my thesis advisors, Dr. Alexander Key (DLCL) who checked and corrected my Arabic transcription and shared invaluable information regarding forming an edition of an Arabic Manuscript, and Dr. Paula Findlen (History) for her invaluable guidance, encouragement, and support through the development of this project.
