On Annotation

Good readers should be curious. Good writers certainly have been, and I think the best writers seek to develop the curiosity of the best readers. But there are so many good writers, and only so much time. And we all benefit from specialization, from the human ability to spread the load of effort and expertise. Annotated editions allow good readers to satisfy their curiosity without consuming all their time—and to discover, in gaps in the annotation, where the knowledge or curiosity of the annotators has not been enough, and where they can contribute something new.

The TEASys style guide

By T-Stoesser / 11. February 2017

This homepage now includes the TEASys style guide, a continually updated style sheet for creating annotations with TEASys. Its aim is to help students and scholars alike in systematizing the reading process and the interpretations that might rise from it. To this end, it helps to introduce a workflow for the collaborative annotation of notes when working in groups. Secondly, it helps students to address texts through careful reading and annotating by describing practical examples of the TEASys categories.
