What is <MANO>?

A lightweight workspace for digital manuscript studies

<MANO> brings together simple browser-based tools for describing, transcribing, exploring, and sharing manuscript materials.

<MANO> is an open digital environment designed for manuscript studies, academic research, and teaching. It provides a workspace where users can create and share manuscript metadata, view and modify transcriptions, and access learning resources.

Resources offers open educational materials contributed by the community for manuscript studies, TEI encoding, and digital editing practices.

Metadata Editor facilitates the structured documentation of manuscript features while offering download options for sharing, further analysis, or archival purposes.

Collection provides a shared space to explore manuscript descriptions contributed by the community.

Transcription Viewer supports the upload of TEI-XML transcriptions and allows users to edit them alongside manuscript facsimiles in a synchronized interface.
