The NOTAE Project aims to investigate graphic symbols, so as attested in Greek and Latin documentary sources written for pragmatic purposes between Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages (400-800 AD). To this purpose, each member of the NOTAE Team will contribute to the census of the graphic symbols through the systematic inspection of the documents available on different media (papyrus, slate, wood, parchment). The successful candidate will take care of publishing the descriptive data in an evidence-based Atlas of this graphic inheritance, which will be structured as a relational and dynamic database. Furthermore, each member of the NOTAE team will carry out syncronic and comparative analysis of the collected data, in order to capture all the possible historical implications of the use of graphic symbols in documents. The digital humanities member will also be involved in the construction and implementation of the structure of the NOTAE Atlas.
