This article discusses new ways of reading medieval manuscripts in the age of electronic technologies. I focus on the Charrette Project, a multimedia scholarly archive devoted to Chrétien de Troyes's Chevalier de la Charrette (ca. 1180). I begin with a brief overview of the project, which includes images of the eight manuscripts of Chrétien's romance, detailed diplomatic transcriptions, as well as linguistic and poetic databases. I then explore how such tools might be applied to read Chrétien's romance in a new way, by examining the link between poetry, performance, and punctuation in the manuscript tradition.
