The aim of this project is to create an experimental digital scholarly edition of the Iudicium coci et pistoris iudice Vulcano by Vespa (Anth. Lat. 199 Riese), a Latin text in verse from the Late Antiquity, for which the main MS is the Codex Salmasianus.

Status of the project

The project was developed by Paolo Monella during a 2012 post-doc bourse at the Accademia dei Lincei. After December 2012 the development of the project has been very slow.

Methodological Principles

This edition is mainly a proof of concept, with the goal of providing a prototype of digital scholarly edition based on the ideas of Tito Orlandi. The main concepts to be applied are:

  • Text should be encoded at different layers, including (in the case of this edition) the graphic layer (graphemes, paragraphematic signs etc.), the alphabetic layer (alphabetic letters) and the linguistic layer (words);
  • A complete list of the signs identified by the philologist in the manuscript (in Orlandi's words a "table of signs") should be provided for each manuscript.
