III convegno SISMED della medievistica italiana

Ilaria Sabbatini (University of Palermo) and Laura Righi (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) took part in the panel “Nuovi strumenti per la Storia Medievale: memorie documentarie e Digital
Humanities.”

Sabbatini presented the REVErse Regesta project, which combines palaeography, diplomatics and artificial intelligence to develop advanced methods for reverse regesta creation, automatic summarisation and categorisation of medieval documents, with a specific focus on papal registers. Righi offered a critical reflection on the methodological implications of using Digital Humanities tools for the study and editing of medieval sources.

The contributions of Sabbatini and Righi are part of the research activities of the ITSERR project (Italian Strengthening of the ESFRI RI RESILIENCE), aimed at developing innovative digital tools and AI-based approaches for the analysis and enhancement of historical and religious heritage.
