Abstract	The sessions aim to connect scholars interested in the digital analysis of medieval text networks and intertextuality. They will focus on digital tools and approaches which can model or analyze those relationships between texts or parts of texts that typically characterize medieval legal, theological or polemical texts. The sessions are intended as a forum to discuss current approaches and tools. This second half of a double session will focus of use cases, discussing different sets of digitized texts or digital databases allowing us to study texts linked via material transmission or intertextual content.
