N2 - The ERC-funded VERITRACE project is applying the latest digital tools, including machine learning algorithms, on a large corpus of early modern texts in order to trace the influence of ancient wisdom writings on the development of early modern natural philosophy. Innovative capabilities of the project include text matching, where a query text is used as a search ‘query’ across a much larger comparison corpus. This poses challenges when query and comparison corpora are multilingual. This paper will explore these issues using VERITRACE’s Text Matching tool.
