The so-called Livro da Noa (ms. Lisboa, PT/TT/MSCC/L099) is an essential source for both Medieval Iberian Historiography and Portuguese History. It is also an extremely significant manuscript for the study of Palaeography and Codicology in the Middle Ages in Western Iberia and contains valuable texts for a better knowledge of Medieval Latin and, especially, Portuguese. The current manuscript was compiled in the Monastery of Santa Cruz of Coimbra and registers a number of political and ecclesiastical events, and also astronomic and atmospheric phaenomena, natural disasters and plagues, covering a large period, from the nineteenth to the fifteenth century.
The project EdNoa aims to create an electronic edition of the Livro da Noa, with documentary transcriptions linked to the manuscript’s images, historical and philological notes, glossaries, a bibliographical database, and several studies. The copies and the printed editions will also be transcribed, in order to better understand the transmission of the texts and the different approaches of the previous studies.
The interdisciplinary project’s team is made up of researchers from various universities and different areas, and will integrate students.
