This work delves into the intersection of premodern textuality and contemporary digital forms. It investigates how Web 2.0 tools echo pre-print assumptions and the shared notions of authority in medieval and digital contexts. The study further explores how modern digital mobilization reflects ancient methods of collaboration, along with how commentaries in digital spaces have evolved to mirror medieval manuscript practices. By analyzing these relationships, we gain insights into the ongoing evolution of textuality in the digital age.
