<p>The materials archived in this repository accompany and support the following paper:</p> <blockquote> <p>E. Leclerq &amp; M. Kestemont, &#39;Advances in Distant Diplomatics. A Stylometric Approach to Medieval Charters&#39;, in: <a href="https://riviste.unimi.it/interfaces/index">Interfaces. A Journal of Medieval European Literatures</a>&nbsp;[2021].</p> </blockquote> <p>The contents of this repository are the following:</p> <ul> <li><em>analysis.ipynb</em>: a Python notebook with all the code that was used for the analyses reported in the paper.</li> <li><em>CorpusCaseRogerFJeanE</em>&nbsp;(zipped folder): a collection of plain text files with the original charters. A primitive encoding scheme was applied to distinguish various subsections in the charters (see the Python notebook for the symbol legend).</li> <li><em>figures</em>&nbsp;(zipped folder): full-res versions of the automatically generated plots for the paper.</li> <li><em>embed</em>&nbsp;(zipped folder): interactive HTML scatterplots of the charters, colored depending on different kinds of metadata for a more intuitive exploration.</li> <li><em>hits</em>&nbsp;(zipped folder): HTML files containing a tabular representation of all intertexts detected between two charters (the pair of charters is identified in the filename).</li> <li><em>MetadataCaseRogerFJeanE.xlsx&nbsp;</em>(spreadsheet): a spreadsheet that encodes various kinds of metadata for each charter.</li> <li><em>README.md</em>: a README file.</li> </ul> <p>The original raw texts for all charters were collected from the <a href="https://www.diplomata-belgica.be/colophon_fr.html">Diplomata Belgica</a>&nbsp;and the <a href="http://telma.irht.cnrs.fr/outils/chartae-galliae/index/">Chartae Galliae</a>&nbsp;databases. In the metadata spreadsheet, the precise origin of the individual charters is given.</p>
