	abstract = {In this essay, Siemens et al. discuss the inherently social qualities of manuscript miscellanies through the lens of building the Devonshire Manuscript digital edition. The paper begins by discussing the composition and history of the Devonshire Manuscript before moving into a description of the methodology and results of creating a digital edition of this work. As Siemens et al. note, "the contributors to (and participants in) the manuscript speak to each other in the poems," making this a definitively social artifact. In order to visualize these relationships, the research team transformed the manuscript into XML and then used communication network software - PieSpy, Simile Timeline, and TextArc - to create graphics representations of the interactions. Among other observations, these visualizations drew attention to the involvement of women in the composition and circulation of the manuscript, and the verbally playful interactions between scribes writing in an atmosphere rife with tension. In conclusion, Siemens et al. discovered that these visualization tools allowed them a more encompassing view of the text. },
