Medieval texts – Contemporary media
The art and science of editing in the digital age Fuori Collana

The essays collected in this volume began life as Workshop papers. The Workshop, which took place in Pavia in June 2008, explored the interaction between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems and the philological analysis of medieval texts.
Throughout the book the theoretical implications for both present and future research are taken into account, and the current e-edition projects here illustrated offer an international perspective of editorial scholarship in the electronic medium, providing also original contributions in the field of digital philology.
Major problems linked to the material production of scholarly editions are also dealt with (e.g. the use of TEI-conformant XML to facilitate electronic document exchange, the problems involved in obtaining high-quality images of manuscripts and, last but not least, the high cost of digitization).
