Bibliographic list
Raw documentationReading note
Synthesis of reading notes for vol 1
Recapitulation for vol 2
Goals of the digital edition
A TEI transcription of the whole manuscript for:
1. An edition of all the textswithin the documentaryfiles (approx. 3500 pages)
2. A specific interface for « conjectural reconstitutions »
Overlapping structures
A single hierarchy!
What is a fragment?
– A pasted patch of paper,
– A surface of the image?
– A textual« quotation » unit?

Recapitulations
Editorial questions
• Multiple scattered occurrences of the same quotation= how to interpret and transcribe one without having found the others?
• Extracted from the page it was inserted in, can the fragment be still understandable?
• What is the text? Just the written words or is there something else?
• Inserting the fragments in a new context= creating improper or misleading interpretations ?

Le laboureur ne connaît ni le danger des lectures, ni la séduction des sociétés,ni le poids de lʼoisiveté. Élevé sous le toit paternel, il ne contracte dʼhabitude que celle du travail et il nʼéprouve de besoins que ceux de la nature. Dictionary of medical sciences, entry :
