| Abstract | The growing field of Digital Palaeography uses a variety of computer-assisted technologies to address scholarly research questions. In this session, databases created using the DigiPal framework will be used to investigate three different corpora: medieval Scottish charters, the Exon Domesday book, and Visigothic script from the medieval Iberian Peninsula. Presenting desiderata for their respective fields, the papers explore the potential offered by Digital Palaeography, and DigiPal in particular, to interrogate medieval script in ways which would not be feasible using traditional palaeographic methods. |
