Abstract

Late antique and early medieval documents often include graphic symbols, i.e., graphic entities drawn as a visual unit within a written text, but communicating something other than a word of that text. The Project NOTAE aims to investigate them, in order to capture all the possible historical implications by studying their execution, models, cross influences, historical context and transmission. The project involves two approaches working in close collaboration: the historical, papyrological and palaeographical investigation and the IT research activity, which has developed the NOTAE System (fundamental tool, to fulfil the humanistic approach itself) and the NOTAE Knowledge Graph, testing also the possibility of identifying graphic symbols through software applications.
