Pilot editions at the Digital Scholarly Editing Laboratory of the Jagiellonian University

Abstract

The Digital Scholarly Editing Laboratory (LabEdyt) is an interdisciplinary research team operating within the Jagiellonian Centre for Digital Humanities as part of the Digital Humanities Lab flagship project. Its primary goal is to develop workflow frameworks and best practices for DSEs. LabEdyt pursues this objective through three pilot projects: Neolatina Sarmatica (a repository of critical editions of Latin texts authored by writers associated with the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), a digital edition of Wacław Potocki’s Moralia, and a digital edition of correspondence. These efforts are complemented by the Jagiellonian Digital Platform, a service aggregating digital humanities projects at the Jagiellonian University. This article presents the team’s achievements in the ongoing projects and discusses the challenges and issues faced by editors seeking to publish the results of their textual studies in a digital environment.
