Description:
This talk is based on the MA thesis discussed on May 22nd 2019 at the Department of Civilisations and Forms of Knowledge of the University of Pisa (supervisors: Pier Giorgio Borbone and Federico Boschetti).
Three chapters of the biblical book of Qohelet have been investigated.
A Domain Specific Language (DSL) has been created to record and classify multilingual variant readings related to Qohelet 1-3.
Annotations have been parsed by ANTLR 4.0 and converted in XML-TEI in order to ensure the interoperability of the digital resource.
An XSLT stylesheet has been created for the conversion in LaTeX.
Statistic analyses have been performed on the distribution of variant readings and phylogenetic hypotheses have been formulated through computational methods and tools.
