Papéis que narram: uma história do Mosteiro de São Bento da Bahia contada pelos documentos do acervo da abadia baiana

Abstract

PhD thesis in one volume. It began with an explanation about the arrival of the Benedictine monks in Salvador, addressing the formation of the bibliographic and documentary archive as well as the process for the realization of the researches in such holdings, highlighting the Livro de Crônicas do Mosteiro de São Bento da Bahia, which motivated the production of a digital edition. The observation that the documents of the Historic Archive of the Benedictine abbey dialogue between each other was made explicit, allowing to create strong bonds capable of connecting these documents and make them, by themselves, tell the history of the abbey. As scope, documents already dealt with by the research group Studia Philologica, of the Federal University of Bahia, were chosen. A section dedicated to the analysis of the birth scenario of digital editions was written, highlighting the reader and reading, editorial market and Philology in technological world. An analysis of the designations used to treat each one of them was performed. The last part of the work consists of an assessment of the digital editions already made by researchers from Bahia, to introduce, then, the edition Papéis que narram, available in the website www.papeisquenarram.com.br.
