The study aims to compare traditional philological methods with modern computational techniques for identifying authors and scribes in historical manuscripts.
Analyzed manuscripts by unknown scribes using philological and palaeographic criteria.
Developed an assistance tool named LiViTo for author/scribe detection.
Explored a mixed methods approach by integrating computational and linguistic methods.
LiViTo effectively identifies handwriting styles, enhancing traditional philological efforts.
Combining computational and linguistic features improves accuracy in distinguishing between authors and scribes.
Significant potential for improving manuscript analysis through integrated methodologies.
