Abstract:
In this paper, we present various visualizations for the Text Re-use found between texts of a collection to
support humanists in answering a broad palette of research questions. When juxtaposing all texts of a corpus
in the form of tuples, we propose the Text Re-use Grid as a distant reading method that emphasizes text tuples
with systematic or repetitive Text Re-use. In contrast, the Text Re-use Browser allows for close reading of the
Text Re-use between the two texts of a tuple. Additionally, we present Sentence Alignment Flows to improve
the readability for Text Variant Graphs on sentence level that are used to compare various text editions to each
other. Finally, we portray findings of the humanists of our project using the proposed visualizations.
