Descripción del proyecto
From Digital to Distant Diplomatics (DiDip) will bring modern computational methods to the transregional study of late medieval charters. It will answer questions about the spread and development of pan-European documentary practices and documentary culture in the later medieval period (c. 1300-1500). The project's novelty lies in 1. the scale of the endeavour, building upon a database of over half a million digitized charters from medieval and early modern Europe (the PI's Monasterium.net) and expanding it both numerically and qualitatively and 2. the application of cutting-edge ‘distant’ macroanalysis practices (Jockers 2013) to a Europe-wide dataset, producing findings that go beyond the traditional regional and single-institution related scope of diplomatics projects.
At the core of this project is the observation that the preponderance of studies in diplomatics have been and remain focused on smaller units, such as individual chanceries, collections of single institutions, or the practices of one country, language group or region (Jarret 2013) and the resignation of diplomatics scholars in the face of the large amount of documentation in the 14th and 15th century. How can we truly make an integrated study of European diplomatics in this period when it is largely addressed as a variety of hyperlocalized phenomena, without meaningful study of the relation of the practices of one area to another? The DiDip project answers this question by building a digital research environment to study the issue on a macro scale, improving the quality of research data and the methods available to enable greater breadth of study and provide findings that will point us towards a better understanding of the relationship of the various regional documentary cultures across Europe in the period.
