Abstract

'The body of acquired knowledge constantly grows, but the capacity of handling it decreases' (C. Bozzolo, E. Ornato). Humanities become more and more digital. If we don't monitor this change, at some point, communication among scholars will become impossible. The papers of this session will deal with digital methods applied to textual corpora and manuscript databases representing various strands of medieval literary culture. As a consequence, the participants will pay special attention to the transmission of their specific knowledge (scholarly as well as technical) and their methodology: the process, its successes and failures, and (the most important) its transposability.
