In the past few years a multidisciplinary team of scholars based at Goethe Universität Frankfurt has been involved in the development of three projects: the research project "Political language in the Middle Ages: Semantic Approaches", and two online platforms, "Computational Historical Semantics" and "eHumanities Desktop". These are closely related to each other, as they bring together historical research on Latin medieval texts and Digital Humanities. This article will offer an overview of the projects, focusing particularly on the digital tools which have been developed by the team.
