For the transcription of the manuscripts, the aim is to stay as close to the original text as possible. We focus on the production of diplomatic editions. This means that the edition is based on only one source and that the text and all graphic information will be displayed in accordance with this source. We don’t aspire a typographic imitation of the source, but aim for a functional reproduction of the text. As already stated, staying true to the text is key for the transcriptions. This means that deviations from the standard spelling and grammar are copied, changes made during writing - immediately or later - are documented, and if relevant, the physical structure of the source is reproduced.
