The Summer School is aimed at an international audience, therefore the courses will be held in English.
The School will be inaugurated by a group of philologists who will be discussing the state of the art of philological studies and the still open questions in the field of classical and medieval philology, and digital philology: Raffaella Tabacco, Francesco Stella and Roberto Rosselli del Turco.
Three half-day sessions will follow, in which three invited scholars will present their programs and tools:
- Wilhelm Ott, author of TUSTEP - Tübingen System of Text Processing tools;
- Guido Milanese, who will illustrate the use of LaTeX and its scripts for critical editions;
