Edition Strategy
The manuscript of the Liber Vitae is difficult if not impossible to edit by conventional printed means. The multiplicity of entries, the complexity of the
commentary required, and the disorder of the lists of names in the eleventh-century and later sections (as well as the disorder
of those added to earlier sections) poses almost insuperable problems to conventional editions, above all the problem of referencing
commentary to individual entries because of the complexity of the page-layouts. On occasion, that layout is itself significant
and requires commentary of a type impossible to provide by conventional means. It is therefore essential that a digital edition
should be undertaken.
