A web-based tool that aims to make TEI-encoded manuscripts (hand-encoded seventeenth manuscripts into machine-readable formatted files) publicly browsable and searchable by textual editors, literary scholars, and cultural historians around the world. DEx is an online resource that allows users to browse and filter extracts by play, playwright, and manuscript, view the extracts’ context in both the original manuscript and the original work from which it was transcribed, and discover other manuscripts from the same repository.
