Computer-assisted Scholarly Editing of Manuscripts Sources

The contribution will concentrate on the specific aspect of textual criticism. I realize this is a discipline that could be defined as being 'very exclusive,' as the scholars are not numerically equivalent to the community of people working in other Humanities disciplines; for example historians, philosophers, or those dealing with the history and criticism of literature. However, if we consider that textual criticism covers a very large period (Ancient, Medieval and Modern times) and many languages, there is also an increase in the population of specialists.
