Abstract

Using the abundant data made available by the Making and Knowing Project, this essay examines some of the rhetorical features of Ms. Fr. 640, with a focus on dispositio. It argues that, when applied to a single document, careful visualization of statistical data can promote a “synthetic” approach to texts. Applied to Ms. Fr. 640, these computational methods provide readers with tools to assess relations between the manuscript’s constitutive parts and its cohesion as a whole. In doing so, this essay contributes to broadening the scope of computer-assisted hermeneutics in data-rich editions.
