About

EVT was born in the context of the Digital Vercelli Book project, which has been available in beta form for more than one year, but it has evolved in a tool suitable to fit different texts and needs. For example, it is now being used to publish the digital edition of the Codice Pelavicino manuscript, a medieval codex preserving charters dating back to the XIII century. The continuous development and need to adapt it to different types of documents and TEI-encoded texts has shifted the development focus towards creation of a more general tool for the web publication of TEI-based documents, able to cater for multiple use cases.

From a single project to a broader ecosystem

Initially developed to support specific scholarly editions, EVT progressively expanded into a reusable framework capable of adapting to different textual traditions, editorial models, and research contexts.

Core design principles

EVT is grounded in modularity, openness, and long-term sustainability. Its architecture is designed to work natively with TEI-encoded texts while remaining extensible and maintainable over time.
