It's the founding myth of humanities computing and digital
humanities: In 1949, the Italian Jesuit scholar, Roberto Busa,
S.J., persuaded IBM to offer technical and financial support for
the mechanized creation of a massive lemmatized concordance to the
works of St. Thomas Aquinas. Using Busa's own papers, recently
accessioned in Milan, as well as IBM archives and other sources,
Jones illuminates this DH origin story. He examines relationships
between the layers of hardware, software, human agents, culture,
and history, and answers the question of how specific technologies
afford and even constrain cultural practices, including in this
case the academic research agendas of humanities computing and,
later, digital humanities.
