Abstract	This session showcases exciting new work in the digital edition of the early modern Ship of Fools. Young researchers explore the intersection of German, French, and English literature. The first paper highlights the essentials of digitising and presenting early modern texts in Latin and in several European languages. The second paper deals with various linguistic changes between Sebastian Brant's first edition of the Ship of Fools (Basel 1494) and its Nuremberg edition (1494). The third paper focuses on marginalia and trans-textuality in Drouyn's Nef des fols (Lyon 1499). The fourth paper investigates two different concepts of authorship in the two English Ships of Fools (London 1509).
