The most strikingly missing piece of functionality in current
digital editions is that of annotation. Digital editions should
offer a facility where researchers can store structured and
unstructured observations with respect to the edited texts.
This book discusses a number of approaches to annotation systems in
the context of the study of emblems, the sixteenth and seventeenth
century literary genre that joins an image, a motto and an often
moralizing epigram.
When handled properly, annotation can become mesotext, text
positioned between the annotated texts and the scholarly articles
and monographs for which the annotations provide the evidence. In a
digital context, it should be possible to navigate back and forth
between annotated text, annotation and article.
