Dear Peter,

thank you for replying. I am replying on-list for now with further
details in the hope that other people interested can join us, on- or
off-list.

Our interests intersect very well. The work of the DigiPal Project [1]
is on the palaeographic system across manuscripts (paradigmatic axis),
while my specific focus, as you know, is on digital philology: that is,
how to model the writing system of a textual source (set of graphemes,
allographs, abbreviation mechanisms etc.) in order to encode its
diplomatic transcription (on the syntagmatic axis). Last week I gave a
talk at the VeDPH [2] on this.

Everyone who is interested in those topics, feel free to contact me
directly to join our off-line discussion.

All best,
Paolo
