Palimpsest: a typography-first collation reader for literary texts
Palimpsest lets scholars compare two manuscript witnesses, highlighting actual wording edits while separately reporting moved, split, or merged passages. It aligns passages before diffing, so structural shifts don't inflate change counts. The tool offers both side‑by‑side and unified reading modes, TEI P5 export, and accessibility features, making it ideal for editors, researchers, and literary enthusiasts. Compared to generic diff tools, it preserves the narrative flow and provides clear, human‑readable revision insights.
