This presentation will by an introduction to my project of comparative edition of the Regimiento de los prínçipes, focusing on the dialectic between information and meaning. By showing the workflow of the edition, I will point out how these two concepts can help us understand how to use the computer to edit a medieval text: what are the steps I have to take before the final production of meaning, that is, the publication of the text and its study?
