  • Opening the Black Box of Interpretation: Digital History Practices as Models of Knowledge

    Open AccessSilke SchwandtARTICLEHistory and Theory2022

This article argues for a closer look at the traditions of history writing in order to understand its principles and to determine wha…

The following article highlights the relevance of digital methods for historical semantics, using the Latin term virtus and…

It traces the different aspects of meaning assigned to this word in four medieval texts, namely St. Augustine's City of God, the Regula Pastoralis of Gregory the Great, the Via Regia of Smaragdus of St. Mihiel, and the Policraticus of John of Salisbury. Using quantitative methods, I analyze the employment of virtus with a focus on its relevance in the …
