고문헌 자료의 형태서지학과 디지털 기술의 융합: 물질성의 디지털화와 인문학적 해석

Abstract

This article starts with the question of how to digitize the Materiality of the old literatures. So far, the documents digitization has mainly focused on storing their contents. However, in physical bibliography, which focuses on the form rather than the content of the book and finds traces of the era in which the book was made, the physical properties of the book become an important element. These are the paper, ink, bookbinding, and printing technologies that make up the book. These elements do not exist in the digital world if they are transformed as only text data. This paper is an exploration of how digital technology can be combined with the study of physical bibliography of ancient literature. I try to examine the digital technologies with that the material element can be converted into data, and consider its possibilities and limitations. I focused on finding studies that analyze materials in ancient literatures using digital technology and examining the applicability of these studies. Here, recently examples 1) visual data digitization technology and 2) literature material composition and printed information analysis technology were reviewed, and the points to be considered for literary interpretation of the material data were discussed. This study will serve as a new research on the materials of bibliography and a combination of digital technology.
