Abstract

We argue that museums presenting exhibits of ancient texts may be able to benefit from accompanying them with annotated electronic versions. We present a short study using two sample annotated texts built using the Learning And Reading Assistant (LARA) platform for a fragment of an Old Norse manuscript and an inscription in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs respectively. The results of an online questionnaire suggested that people already interested in ancient languages would view the idea very positively.
