Migrations Of Textual And Scribal Traditions Via Large-Scale Computational Analysis Of Medieval Manuscripts In Hebrew Script
Advanced Algorithms To Study Jewish Mediaeval Textsjewish People Have A Rich Literary Culture Connected By Various Hebrew, Aramaic, And Judeo-Arabic Texts. These Manuscripts Have Endured Centuries Of Persecution, Migration, And Censorship. The Digitisation Of Manuscripts And Advancements In Ai Offer Unprecedented Opportunities For Researching Manuscript Culture. The Erc-Funded Midrash Project Establishes A New Interdisciplinary Method For Studying Mediaeval Literary Manuscripts Written In Hebrew Script. Its Goal Is To Explore A Vast Collection Of Biblical Manuscripts, Midrash (A Type Of Commentary On The Bible From Late Antiquity), Mediaeval Commentaries On The Bible And Mishnah, As Well As Liturgical Manuscripts. To Achieve This, The Project Employs Advanced Algorithms To Discern The Historical Significance Of The Texts Through Multilingual Intertextualities, Palaeographical Techniques, And Computational Linguistics.
