Abstract

Federico Boschetti, Methods to extend Greek and Latin corpora with variants and conjectures: Mapping critical apparatuses onto reference text

The principal corpora currently available in classical literature, while quite thorough, are based on authoritative editions without critical apparatuses. However, philologists need to deal with textual variants attested by manuscripts and conjectures suggested by scholars through the centuries. This paper will explore some methods for information extraction applied to digitised apparatuses of critical editions and digital repertories of conjectures.
