Electronic Beowulf (Third Edition, 2011) includes new, higher resolution images and all of the features of a newly revised and updated research edition, as well as additional strategies specifically designed to help students learn the language, the grammar, and the meter of the poem, and to make individual discoveries with new, more powerful, search options.

Edition Production & Presentation Technology (EPPT) is now generalizing the Electronic Boethius editing tools, designed to integrate images and text through XML, to make them available for use by any image-based electronic project. We provide here an EPPT-Trial, using the different data and varying encoding practices of a dozen independent, image-based projects.

EPPT project cover
Electronic Boethius will be an image-based edition of Alfred the Great's Old English version of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy restoring the burnt tenth-century prose-and-verse version in British Library MS Otho A. vi, and will include full electronic facsimiles of Oxford, Bodleian Library, manuscripts Bodley 180 and Junius 12.

Electronic Beowulf 2.0 is an image-based edition of Beowulf, including all of British Library MS Cotton Vitellius A. xv, hundreds of restored readings, the earliest transcripts and collations, complete glossaries, and expansive search facilities. Free updates are periodically available online at the top of the green sidebar.

Beowulf project cover
Digital Atheneum developed new techniques for restoring severely damaged, previously inaccessible, manuscripts, searching them as images, and presenting them in electronic editions.

ARCHway and Electronic Boethius together developed an Edition Production Technology (EPT) through collaboration between computer science and the humanities on image-based electronic editions. The free and open source codes developed under the project are available in a zip file at http://beowulf.engl.uky.edu/~ept/archway/source/ARCHway-EPT-src.zip (16MB).
