Abstract
In codicology, the features of a script play an important role for dating and localising the manuscript. There are other questions that can be dealt with by examining these features, e.g. questions of intellectual history, influences of literary genres, or influences of organisational aspects of scriptoria on the shape of a script. But especially in the context of manuscript cataloguing the classification of script is of highest importance if other evidence such as a colophon or references like the naming of celebrations for local saints cannot be found. In order to contextualise the features of a script, palaeography has always striven for inference of a taxonomy from visual properties. Like in other disciplines, the community was not successful in achieving one common naming schema but constituted concurring taxonomies. Thus, the question arises what to do with these in times of the need to search huge amounts of manuscript related data in portals? New approaches in standardisation on the one hand, and semantic technologies and methods for image processing on the other hand, offer new possibilities to access to the manuscripts.
