The endlessness of the digital space allows scholarly editors to conceive edition projects on a grand scale. Indeed, the eternal mission of philology can be identified in the quest for the best way to represent and/or reconstruct primary sources, in order to save them from oblivion and grant the public the most informed access to them. Consequently, the lack of space boundaries characterising the digital environment is one of the first aspects making such an environment perfectly suitable for hosting ambitious edition projects. Considering then the possibilities disclosed by hypertextuality, multimodality and multimediality, one can hardly argue against the digital way of editing, despite the ongoing challenges it must face (cf. for instance Rosselli Del Turco 2016), of which sustainability is clearly in the forefront. However, there are reasons to believe that state-of-the-art digital editions have not yet overcome the limits of a still rather bookish paradigm, obeying a mostly representational logic (Van Zundert 2018, Cugliana and Van Zundert 2022).
