<br>
After a temporary hiatus, the Digital Annotation Newsletter returns, providing an update on TEASys (Tübingen Explanatory Annotation System), together with a digest of news and opportunities in the field of digital editing and annotation. The newsletter will now be published in a half-yearly rhythm, at the beginning of January and July. Please point colleagues and students towards the <a href="http://www.annotation.es.uni-tuebingen.de/?page_id=211">newslist</a>: we welcome new subscribers and/or announcements for inclusion in the newsletter.<br>
<br>
The project of annotating <em>The Knight of the Burning Pestle </em>by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, which has been shelved for some time, will be taken up again soon. A first step toward adding to extant annotations has been taken by Matthias Bauer's class on “Understanding Early Modern Drama – Digital Methods”.<br>
