Lit writes for humanities students or scholars who are classically trained in handling manuscript materials and wish to take advantage of the computing power now available but are at loss about where to begin. To those who say they have no need of such technology, he points out that their colleagues will increasingly be using it, and both competing and collaborating will become more difficult. His topics include the digital materiality of digitized manuscripts, paleography: between erudition and computation, cataloging: from a dusty back room to the World Wide Web, and codicology: automated analysis using Python and OpenCV.

If you work with digital photos of manuscripts or archival materials, Among Digitized Manuscripts provides the conceptual and practical toolbox for you to create a state-of-the-art methodology and workflow. No previous computer knowledge is required.

Among Digitized Manuscripts is well worth a read. The four practical chapters and the digital appendix are a resource that students and scholars wishing to work more effectively with digital manuscripts will return to as a reference. Kelly Tuttle in Reviews





The combination of theoretic considerations with hands-on tutorials and personal experience from the field is the result of van Lits previous work in the digital humanities and, at the same time, an attempt to provide fledgling digital scholars with everything they need. Cornelius Berthold in Der Islam 98/2 (2021)
