How Can Research on Written Artefacts Benefit from Collaboration with Computer Science?

Stefan Thiemann

Abstract

Research on written artefacts, particularly on manuscripts, was conducted long before digital methods were developed and computer technology became available for everyone. The use of methods from computer science for this research, however, adds a completely new level of possibilities. This article will discuss the various premises of this task and identify specific benefits for the field of the study of written artefacts.
