The Digital Library and Computational Philology: The BAMBI Project

The work presented in this paper has been developed within a European project called BAMBI. It enhances the accessibility of ancient manuscripts and presents new ways of working with them. More precisely, the BAMBI project aims to produce a software tool allowing historians, and more particularly codicologists and philologists, to read manuscripts, write annotations, and navigate between the words of the transcription and the matching piece of image in the digitized picture of the manuscript.
