History of the project
Having been granted an ERC funding (StG 263577), the LibGloss project started in 2011.
The working process
Preparatory step (2011)
- Realization (by OCR) of a Word-file of Lindsay’s edition, converted into 23 xls files, allowing the assignment one column to each type of information (lemma, tag, gloss, source, foliation, collation…)
- Realization of a rough text of the LG, by replacing the allusive references provided by Lindsay with the extracts supposed to be found there
- First collation of this rough text against one manuscript (L). It aimed to replace the “rough sources” with the true text as reorganized by the authors of the Liber, as well as to supply some missing portions of the text, which have been omitted by Lindsay.
Manuscripts step (2012-2016)
- Second collation of the L manuscript
- Collation of the text against the other main manuscripts (A, P, T, V…)
- Collation of a few manuscript fragments
Building the critical edition (september 2014-2016)
- Encoding the files into xml format
- Revising the text finally obtained and choosing the textual variants
