Dear João,
With Daniel Ferrer and Claire Bustarret of ITEM in Paris, I have been working on codicological analysis of modern mss as a means to establish dating. A very good example of the technique, used to date the MSS/TSS of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land can be found in the work of Lawrence Raney, Revisting the Waste Land. In short, Rainey matches paper types used for the poem with the paper of dated letters. Please do encourage Mário Costa do get in touch with me if he wishes.
Best wishes,
Wim

Subject: Dating undated modern manuscripts
Dear all,
Mário Costa, a PhD student at the Faculty of Letters, U. Lisbon, is starting his research on the critical datation of undated writings by Pessoa. He would like to be acquainted with similar research projects focused on other authors and reference works on the subject.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
