Stylometric analysis of medieval vernacular texts is still a significant challenge: the importance of scribal variation, be it spelling or more substantial, as well as the variants and errors introduced in the tradition, complicate the task of the would-be stylometrist.

With the development of big corpora of various periods, it becomes crucial to standardise linguistic annotation (e. g. lemmas, POS tags, morphological annotation) to increase the interoperability of the data produced, despite diachronic variations.

At a time when the quantity of - more or less freely - available data is increasing significantly, thanks to digital corpora, editions or libraries, the development of data mining tools or deep learning methods allows researchers to build a corpus of study tailored for their research, to enrich their data and to exploit them. Open optical character recognition (OCR) tools can be adapted to old prints, incunabula or even manuscripts, with usable results, allowing the rapid creation of textual corpora.

This results in multiple and hard to distinguish linguistic strata -- the author's scripta interacting with the scriptae of the various scribes -- in a context where literary written language is already a dialectal hybrid.
