| Abstract | The session presents recent research on the documents of Southern Italy during the Norman and Hohenstaufen periods. Digital technologies provide considerable potential for research into medieval documents. Some interesting examples of this potential are digital archives and digital scholarly editions, such as those of the abbey of Santa Maria della Grotta on the Monasterium.net portal which are discussed in paper -a. These two newly available resources for this monastery have led to further research, including a comparative approach, which reveals interesting traces of persistence, evolution, cultural transfer, and contamination with regard to both Latin documents (paper -b) and Greek documents (paper -c). |
