Hidden Harmonies: Manuscript and Print on the North Atlantic Fringe, 1500–1900 ed. by Matthew James Driscoll and Nioclás Mac Cathmhaoil (review)

Abstract

The project nevertheless represents a powerful, precious, openaccess resource for specialists of the Commedia’s early manuscript transmission, for researchers working at the intersection of medieval manuscript studies and digital textual scholarship, and for teachers and students of paleography, codicology, or manuscript studies. It boasts a rich treasury of information and tools for further research, features extensive documentation of its own development that provides a map for digital humanists to come, and represents a magisterial example of the possibilities afforded by digital methods in the study of manuscript transmission.
