| Research Abstract |
A three-year project (2004-2006) of producing XML files of the Cely Letters and studying the graphological and morphological characteristics of the letters making use of the digital images acquired at the National Archives in Britain. By the cooperation of Dr.Van Dalen-Oskam of the Huygens Institute in the Netherlands, the most appropriate XML style in describing these letters have been sought, and we have concluded that P-5 of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) could produce rather satisfactory results, and tentative XML files of the Cely Letters have been made. These files not only include all the segmental and supra-segmental features shown in the edition of the Cely Letters by Alison Hanham but also add a lot of corrections by the close examination of the digital images of the letters, which have been described according to the stylistic rules of P-5. Using these files the graphological characteristics of Richard I and II have been mostly studied and Ohara pointed out that there is a possibility that the letters of Richard I were not been written by himself.
