Nous nous intéressons dans cet article à la problématique de réutilisation de textes dans les livres liturgiques du Moyen Âge. Plus particulièrement, nous étudions les variations textuelles de la prière Obsecro Te souvent présente dans les livres d’heures. L’observation manuelle de 772 copies de l’Obsecro Te a montré l’existence de plus de 21 000 variantes textuelles. Dans le but de pouvoir les extraire automatiquement et les catégoriser, nous proposons dans un premier temps une classification lexico-sémantique au niveau n-grammes de mots pour ensuite rendre compte des performances de plusieurs approches état-de-l’art d’appariement automatique de variantes textuelles de l’Obsecro Te.
We address in this paper the issue of text reuse in liturgical manuscripts of the middle ages. More specifically, we study variant readings of the Obsecro Te prayer, part of the devotional Books of Hours often used by Christians as guidance for their daily prayers. We aim at automatically extracting and categorising pairs of words and expressions that exhibit variant relations. For this purpose, we adopt a linguistic classification that allows to better characterize the variants than edit operations. Then, we study the evolution of Obsecro Te texts from a temporal and geographical axis. Finally, we contrast several unsupervised state-of-the-art approaches for the automatic extraction of Obsecro Te variants. Based on the manual observation of 772 Obsecro Te copies which show more than 21,000 variants, we show that the proposed methodology is helpful for an automatic study of variants and may serve as basis to analyze and to depict useful information from devotional texts.
