The Homer Multitext Project at the University of Washington is participating in a collaborative effort to create a digital edition of the Venetus A, the earliest extant and complete medieval manuscript of Homer’s Iliad. Our purpose is to form a definitive digital version of this text, which scholars and students alike can then refer to in future research. Our method is to carefully analyze an online facsimile of the Venetus A, and then manually record any discrepancies between the facsimile and other versions of the text. Using this data, we will then construct a final digital version. This final version of the text will be supremely useful in scholarship, because its quality and accuracy will be guaranteed by our careful work.
