About the project

FLEXI is funded by the ERC Starting Grant. This project examines the four sets of late medieval Irish legal florilegia called ‘digests’, and aims to find out how law texts were (re)produced, studied, and transmitted in medieval Ireland.  FLEXI traces and measures the sources used in these digests quantitatively, using linked data model and network analysis to reveal their text reuse patterns. It also looks for possible influences from other legal traditions on the compilatory principles of the digests, and tests and develops software for automated detection of parallel texts (text reuse) for early Irish texts.
