Description
Compares the advent of electronic editions with the revolution in editing effected by Aldus Manutius in c.1495-1515. Surveys the growing utility of digital photography, the difficulties of machine-readable transcriptions, and the potential for electronic analysis of the data. Focuses on the Canterbury Tales Project and the CD-ROM version of WBP (SAC 20 [1998]), no. 11)
