Vercelli Book Digitale

The main aim of this project is the production of a digital version of the manuscript in order to offer a practical and effective way to consult it both to scholars and to anyone who is interested in studying the codex, eliminating the need for a direct consultation. Secondly, the Digital Vercelli Book will collect all the texts preserved in the ms. and will provide them in various formats, together with tools for consultation and textual analysis. The project is in a very advanced phase, having completed all the major steps leading to publication of a digital edition: a complete scan of the manuscript at a very high resolution and according to the multispectral methodology; a transcription of all manuscript texts in the TEI XML format, encoded so that it is possible to produce both a diplomatic and a diplomatic-interpretative edition level; the development of a specific software tool that will allow for a diplomatic and interpretative edition and for a critical edition of the poetic text.
