        Subject: Digital edition of the papyrus P. Torino Cat. 2147

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the publication of the Digital Edition of the
Greek Papyrus P. Torino Cat. 2147, a documentary papyrus from the 2nd
century CE, written in Greek and preserving a legal dispute. This was the
result of a collaboration between Sapienza University in Rome and the
University of Turin, in partnership with the Museo Egizio in Turin. This
research emerged from the National PhD in Heritage Science, which is funded by
the PNRR and coordinated by the University of Rome “La Sapienza”.
The edition currently under development includes a transcription and
translation of the text, along with lists of named entities (anthroponyms,
toponyms, dates, political offices).

This edition serves as a pilot case for a broader project focused on
creating digital editions of manuscripts and ancient documents preserved by
public and private institutions across the country. The aim is to engage a
broader, non-specialist audience with digitized cultural heritage by
producing digital editions in collaboration with cultural institutions,
which will distribute them on their web portals and, where possible,
integrate them into museum tours. To this end, the project uses the
software EVT (Edition Visualization Technology, *http://evt.labcd.unipi.it
<http://evt.labcd.unipi.it/>*), which has been adapted for case studies
beyond the academic domain. EVT is an open-source software tool that
enables the creation of digital editions by displaying a digital facsimile
alongside a diplomatic and/or interpretative transcription, with the
possibility of linking the text to the image. The digital edition is
created from a text encoded in XML-TEI.
The edition is available at the following link:

Best regards,
Chiara Senatore
