Abstract

The development of the digital sphere has already transformed scholarly work, and yet offers further scope for the presentation of text editions, and for the making of editions of textual entities of greater complexity. In this session, the papers will explore some of these potentialities in relation to three distinct projects, each of which has adopted a different methodology in dealing with different kinds of text.
