dis-Covering the Early Modern Book: An Experiment in Humanities Computing

Abstract

“dis-Covering the Early Modern Book” is a description of an experiment conducted during a single day spent in the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria. The purpose of the experiment was primarily to find out what kind of digital artefact could be generated from an early modern book. Secondarily, we wanted to contemplate potential use for such an artefact, which subsequently was clearly established to be teaching bibliography, or book or print culture.
