1. The document summarizes a presentation about digitally representing a medieval manuscript containing the work "En amer a douce vie".
2. It describes the physical evidence of the manuscript, compares its transcription to other manuscripts of the work, and models the relationships between works, manuscripts, and scholarly representations using a graph model.
3. The presentation demonstrates using digital tools like the Versioning Machine and Shared Canvas to visualize these relationships and enable collaboration around encoding, annotating, and comparing the work across sources.

Editor's Notes
#3: Context: As a lyric inserted into a longer narrative, the work has a dual nature as a part, and as a whole in its own right. This raises interesting questions for transmission.
#4: History of fragmentDescription of fragmentImageProblem: how to integrate with our knowledge of Machaut dissemination?
