Aspects of Textual Markup in Digitally Annotated Ecocritical Texts (DiAET)

The essay explains the digital and philological method of ecocritical annotation of the texts contained in the open-access database DiAET (Digitally Annotated Ecocritical Texts). The database (now available at https://sites.unimi.it/human/corpus/?) now stores many prose and poetic late latin Christian texts (The Alethia of Marius Victor, the Carmina of Avitus of Vienne, The Cathemerinon III and V, and the Contra Symmachum of Prudentius, The Hexameron of Ambrosius, The Mosella of Ausonius). These texts are provided with digital and freely researcheable annotations on the base of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). The annotations are useful tools to study the works in an ecocritical approach.
