Among Digitized Manuscripts
Philology, Codicology, Paleography in a Digital World
Book • 2019
Among Digitized Manuscripts provides both a conceptual and practical toolbox for researchers working with digital photos of manuscripts and archival materials, especially handwritten documents.
The book introduces the concept of 'digital materiality' of digitized manuscripts, emphasizing that digitization is not a neutral process.
It offers a theoretical framework comparing manuscripts, print, and digital worlds, and proposes ten aspects to evaluate digitized manuscript collections, such as size, online availability, resolution, and color balance.
The book includes case studies of twenty repositories worldwide and aims to make high-end computational methods accessible to scholars without prior computer knowledge.
It is published in hardback and electronic open access, with an online appendix available.
