DigiPal: Digital Resource and Database of Palaeography, Manuscript Studies and Diplomatic

Abstract

DigiPal is a digital platform of paleographical primary sources that provides free access to a rich collection of medieval English manuscripts. Developed by the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London, United Kingdom, this project is designed to offer a way for paleographers and scholars of medieval studies to compare hands of transcription and patterns from different periods in time. It is a great example in the field of digital humanities as it brings new methods to the study of medieval handwriting.
