IATH SELECTS NEW FELLOWS FOR 2004
The University's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities
(IATH) has awarded its 2004-2006 Fellowship to Francesca Fiorani, Assistant
Professor of Art History, based on the strength of her proposed project, "Leonardo
Da Vinci and his Treatise on Painting." With the resources provided
through the IATH Fellowship, including IATH staff, space and computers,
Professor Fiorani will create a thematic collection of digital materials
derived from the various editions of Leonardo's Treatise. From the mid-sixteenth
to the late eighteenth centuries these editions were the primary source
for Leonardo's artistic theories. The resulting thematic collection will
provide a foundation for comparative studies among these editions. One
of the technical challenges of the project will be to design the information
structures to allow access to the complex interrelationships between
text, image and artistic process that are required by Leonardo's exposition
of his theories.
In addition, IATH has awarded, as it does when the occasion

French, for her proposed
