| Abstract | For over half a century, since R. Busa's punch cards, medieval documents have been encoded in binary data computing systems. Currently, the digitisation and structuring of documentary corpora is an unavoidable reality for the most part of the medievalists. However, little attention has been paid to the history and historicity of these uses, as well as the impacts of these new media, on the specific field of medieval history. Reflecting on the historiographical and epistemic consequences of the use of digitized corpora of documents is necessary and the central focus of this session of papers. |
