2022: Special Issue 12: Digital Medieval Studies. Perspectives of digital humanities for medieval German studies
The thematic issue contains the bulk of the contributions to the international digital conference 'Digitale Mediävistik. Perspektiven der Digital Humanities für die Altgermanistik' (9-11 February 2022), partly expanded and supplemented by discussion reports. In six sections on the digitisation of manuscripts and early prints, OCR; digital editions; digital infrastructure and research data management; repositories and databases; online publishing and digital scholarly communication; stylometry and text analysis, the central question of the application perspectives of the digital humanities in German medieval studies are addressed. The volume documents examples of what has been achieved in the discipline through the digital humanities - powerful text processing tools, model projects for digital editions, useful research infrastructures, repositories and databases that can be used in many ways and are increasingly networked, new methods of quantitative text analysis - and identifies desiderata and future perspectives.
