The study explores the impact of digital authoring and hypertext on manuscript studies, challenging traditional approaches and proposing a theory of manuscript "transmediations" to understand the value of digital artefacts,.
The consolidated approaches on manuscript studies involving the analysis of material artefacts are challenged
The mapping between digital and material artefacts outlines a theory of manuscript "transmediations" identifying where and how manuscripts cues are reflected in digital technologies
We elaborate the requirements of a hypertext "genre" for digital manuscripts that supports reconciling the open-ended collaborative process of curation with the need for a coherent narrative addressed to the broader public
The study explores the impact of digital authoring and hypertext on manuscript studies, challenging traditional approaches and proposing a theory of manuscript "transmediations" to understand the value of digital artefacts,.
The key findings include the identification of parallels between material manuscripts and hypertext features, and the development of a theory of manuscript "transmediations" that outlines where and how manuscripts cues are reflected in digital technologies,.

The objectives of the study are to account for digital artefacts within the field of manuscript studies, and to develop a theory that supports the understanding of digital manuscripts as documents,.
The methods used in the study include case studies and analyses of digital transitions, which are used to develop the theory of manuscript "transmediations",.
The results of the study highlight key challenges and future directions for scholarly editions of digital manuscripts, and elaborate the requirements of a hypertext "genre" for digital manuscripts,.
The conclusions of the study propose a new approach to understanding digital manuscripts, one that reconciles the open-ended collaborative process of curation with the need for a coherent narrative addressed to the broader public,.
The limitations of the study are not explicitly stated, but it is implied that the nature and relations of native-digital manuscripts are yet to be fully investigated,.
The future work suggested by the study includes further investigation into the nature and relations of native-digital manuscripts, and the development of new methodologies such as digital "forensics" and "virtual desks",.
The practical applications of the study include the development of a hypertext "genre" for digital manuscripts, which can support the creation of scholarly editions of digital manuscripts that are accessible to a broader public,.
material artefacts outlines a theory of manuscript "transmediations
how manuscripts cues are reflected in digital technologies
This theory is developed through case studies and analyses of digital transitions
