The Digital Rosetta Stone is a project developed at Leipzig University by the Chair of Digital Humanities and the Egyptological Institute/Egyptian Museum Georg Steindorff, in collaboration with the British Museum and the Digital Epigraphy and Archaeology Project of the University of Florida.
Its aims include a collaborative digital edition of the Rosetta Stone, data students can use to understand the document’s languages and content, and a high-resolution 3D model of the inscription. The three versions of the text were transcribed in XML following the EpiDoc guidelines, aligned, and annotated syntactically and morphologically.
