Towards an integrated digital edition of the Leges Langobardorum

The Leges Langobardorum project, born within the ALIM project (PRIN-2012) and now founded in the framework of PRIN PNRR 2022, builds on the current state-of-the-art to provide an integrated edition of this law texts corpus, handling both separate diplomatic transcriptions and “virtual witnesses” automatically generated thanks to the TEI markup for critical editions. It also aims to provide a seamless navigation between critical text, diplomatic transcriptions and digital facsimiles. Furthermore, the visualisation software EVT will be equipped with accessibility settings, i.e. features that let people with disabilities customise a device for their own needs, which can represent a true life-changer for people with special needs.
