A warm thanks to Dr. Ruppel, Prof. Olivelle, Dr Birch and others for their responses and further questions.

To clarify one question: by digital edition I mean not a digital text of the sort available on GRETIL for example, but something more, like this:

As you will see above, the digital edition of the Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa by Dr Tara Andrews and her team, is an interactive critical edition, including graphs, maps, the transcriptions of all the manuscripts used available for view and much more that you wouldn't, or perhaps are unable to, include in a regular printed critical edition. Also one could potentially show a text as multiple historically protean texts rather than the single archetype we reconstruct in traditional philology.  I found this exciting and was hoping to develop something like it but with many more layers of content, something dense and rich. 

I hope that explains a bit more what I was after. 

Thank you

Bihani

Dear List Members,

A very happy New Year. I hope this finds you well.

I write to inquire if anyone on this list may know about the production of digital editions of Sanskrit texts. There has been some exciting work in digital humanities and Biblical Studies, and I am eager to see if the latest advances can be used profitably for a research project I am developing.

Apart from designing such a digital edition, I am interested in learning about manuscript transcription tools using artificial intelligence such as Transkribus, digital collation tools, such as Collate-X, and digital tools for stemmatic analysis such as Stemmaweb.

If you have been involved, or know someone who is involved, in Indological research projects creating such editions, and are aware of all these issues, I would be extremely grateful for your help and advice (especially about costs involved and personnel). Please do contact me at bihani.sarkar@orinst.ox.ac.uk

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
