A importância dos parâmetros e das metodologias na produção de fac-símiles para estudos filológicos

Abstract

This work seeks to analize the parameters for capturing images of handwritten documents used by large research and editing centers. Presents four sections: in the first section, presents a theoretical discussion about the handwritten documents and the mains supposts besides Textual Criticism, Paleography and Diplomatics studies. At the same time, explain the differentation between transcription and edition. In the second section, in turn, follows the same methodology and deepens the discussion around editions, demonstrating the main diferences some editions, focusing on fac-similar edition, as the main objective of our work. In the third, analyzes the scenario of technological and digital transformation that has been impacting editorial work in the philological field, mainly from the methodologies and parameters used in the captura of fac-símiles – microfilming, digital photography, scanning and character recognition (OCR) - and the mechanisms that contribute to their diplomatic authenticity. The fourth section, seeks to correlate what has been discussed about some of the main sciences that deal with the handwritten documents, namely Philology, Textual Criticism, Palaeography and Diplomatics, with the editions of text and the digitization of documents from the analysis of some facsimiles. We analyze how some of the major research centers have digitized documents, verifying the patterns of this transposition, and what were the ways used to ensure the reliability and authenticity of the sources.
