This book collects, for the first time, novel quantitative approaches to studying sources from the past, such as chronicles, epics, folktales, and myths. It contributes significantly to recent efforts in bringing together natural scientists and humanities scholars in investigations aimed at achieving greater understanding of our cultural inheritance. Accordingly, each contribution reports on a modern quantitative approach applicable to narrative sources from the past, or describes those which would be amenable to such treatment and why they are important. This volume is a unique state-of-the-art compendium on an emerging research field which also addresses anyone with interests in quantitative approaches to humanities. 410 0$aUnderstanding Complex Systems,$x1860-0832 606 $aPhysics 606 $aHistory 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHistorical linguistics 606 $aMedieval philosophy 606 $aApplications of Graph Theory and Complex Networks$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33010 606 $aHistory, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/700000 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aHistorical Linguistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N26000 606 $aMedieval Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E17000 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHistorical linguistics. 615 0$aMedieval philosophy. 615 14$aApplications of Graph Theory and Complex Networks. 615 24$aHistory, general. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aHistorical Linguistics. 615 24$aMedieval Philosophy. 676 $a530 702 $aKenna$b Ralph$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMacCarron$b Máirín$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMacCarron$b Pádraig$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254590203321 996 $aMaths meets myths: quantitative approaches to ancient narratives$91831959 997 $aUNINA
