Abstract

The emerging of digital technologies in the past century led to the creation of tools designed to facilitate the approach to existing subjects adapting the new technologies to older methods. In this paper we suggest taking a step forward, applying a modern technology characteristic to Stemmatology: the study of the genealogical relationships between surviving manuscripts presenting the same text. We propose an on open collaborative system, an online platform on which it is possible to share, comment, and edit stemmata codicum, based on the design of the latest online platforms. Furthermore, this system will be equipped with an AI tool, designed to help the users to create their stemmata and based on an algorithm built for this purpose and based on the latest findings.
