A high percentage of theatrical prints and manuscripts from the aurisecular period have never been transcribed in an analogical or, of course, digital format. It is therefore impossible to use these documents to carry out searches of our interest or for the valuable computer analyses (stylometry, topic modelling, sentiment analysis, etc.) that…[Read more]
