| Abstract | This session focuses on computer-assisted methods for analysis and interpretation of Medieval manuscripts and texts. Joris van Zundert discusses new methods to search for and analyse intertextuality in Middle Dutch Arthurian romances based on sequencing and vector space techniques. Osamu Ohara will discuss a new way of identifying the amanuenses of the letters of Margaret Paston using enlarged digital images of graphemes, classifying the characteristics of allographs and making a database of graphemes. Karina van Dalen-Oskam investigates the thematics in Walewein with computer-assisted text analysis tools and compares the themes and motifs in the parts written by the two authors. |
