Abstract

This article offers an introductory discussion about digital perspectives and methods for the study of the indirect transmission of Greek and Latin authors and works. After a short introduction on the state of the art of digital projects whose methodologies and scopes can be used for analyzing forms of transmission of ancient texts, this article presents models of digital editions for historical texts that have been indirectly transmitted and current projects for extracting references to lost authors and works from ancient sources.
