Project title: St Patrick's epistles. Transcription of the seven medieval manuscript witnesses
Project abstract: This edition of St Patrick's epistles is based on electronic transcriptions of all seven medieval manuscript witnesses. The transcriptions were enriched with descriptive XML markup following the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative and an documentary editing approach.
Initial work on the transcriptions was done as part of a PhD dissertation submitted at the University of Dublin, Trinity College in 2016 and supervised by Professor Seán Duffy. The PhD dissertation was generously supported and funded by the Irish Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions (PRLTI 5) and Digital Arts and Humanities programme (DAH). The implementation of the digital transcriptions into the digital asset management system GAMS for long-term preservation and the development of the current online edition happend partly during a Marie Curie Actions fellowship with the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT). The development of the InCritApp by Philipp Koncar which is used to compare the manuscript witnesses of the epistles was funded by the HRSM-Project Kompetenznetzwerk Digitale Edition (KONDE).
I would like to thank the various funding organisations that supported my research and express my special thanks and gratitude to the following people for their input and support during my research and the development of this digital edition.
