Opis

This book argues that digital networks of manuscript images, texts, and annotations, can not only aid us in comprehending medieval literary culture, but are, in fact, complementary to medieval modes of thought and manner in which manuscripts transmitted ideas.

Recenzje

"This is an exciting manifesto about digital editions in theory and practice though the lens of a scholar who studies medieval music. Tamsyn Mahoney-Steel gives us a masterful analysis on how and why digital editions are powerful means to explore and teach [medieval] texts. She weaves a multi-dimensional argument in favor of the intertextuality of the digital manuscript and its capacity to study both the content and the context-even though less so the materiality-of a text."-Ece Turnator, Digital Humanities Librarian, MIT
