Abstract:
|
|
|
This dissertation aims at fulfilling two purposes: (1) to present a proposal for handling, formatting and processing textual data extracted from Medieval notarial documents; (2) to apply the proposed procedures to a specific and significant body of texts. This implies going through several tasks: the creation and organisation of a sizeable corpus (i.e. with more than 50.000 words), the selection and transcription of the texts, in a adequate format for computer processing, the indexation of all texts (with very specific goals in mind), and finally the extraction, presentation and interpretation (and hopefully explanation) of the data. The texts under scrutiny in this work, were taken from the important cartulary from the See of Braga known as "Liber Fidei" , which was probably organised as a collection of charters and other types of non literary texts in the second half of the 12th century, though the existing codex may have been written in the first half of the 13th. The texts are also part, and thus representative of, the large and rich corpus of the Latin-Portuguese notarial documentation, whose study is of capital importance for furthering the knowledge of the earliest documented stages of the history of the Portuguese language before the 13th century.
