Go to the Digital Corpus
The corpus of the texts is managed and exploited in a digital archive containing the formal representation of the texts leveraging the TEI/EpiDoc encoding schema, the de facto standard schema adopted in digital epigraphy.
TEI/EpiDoc is an international consortium which establishes guidelines and implements tools for digital encoding scholarly editions of ancient documents according to the Leiden conventions. In particular, it specifies a subset of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI)'s standard vocabulary, providing elements for the edition of the texts (edition, translation, apparatus, commentary, bibliography) and for the description of the history (provenance, location, date, repository) and materiality (physical description) of the objects.
