Publication of the Editio Critica Maior (ECM)

Each volume of the ECM includes "Text", "Supplementary Material", and "Studies". In addition, a digital platform is in the development process that will give online access to all data that is collected in the process of producing the ECM. The data will primarily consist of diplomatic transcripts of all manuscripts cited in the apparatus and the databases from which the edition is produced. Moreover, the transcripts will be successively linked to photos made available in the Virtual Manuscript Room. A further program within the digital platform will allow individual users to access the data and apply the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method on his/her own.

The first ECM volume contains the Catholic Letters. By now, the parts "Text" and "Supplementary Material" are available.
