A new database of the Latin grammarians. Linguistic and philological criteria of the digital markup

The paper presents a new data- base of both critical editions of ancient Latin grammatical works and descriptions of medieval man- uscripts of Latin grammarians. The database uses the content cre- ation system Cadmus developed in 2020 by Daniele Fusi, that enables a more flexible and com- plex digital markup than TEI. The former part of the article describes the structure of the database and the underlying criteria of linguistic and philological analysis, setting this research project in the current scholarly debate about digital crit- ical editing. The latter part of the article presents some case-studies that illustrate the textual critical and linguistic markup applied to Latin grammatical texts through Cadmus.
