The concept of data in the humanistic academy carries a heavy cultural freight: as a reductionist yet efficient representation of complex textual significance. Far from being an invention of the digital age, this conception of the role of quantification has a prehistory whose terms continue to resonate in modern debates about digital editing and digitally mediated scholarship. This essay explores these terms and the anxieties they reflect, concluding that digital representation is no less textually and methodologically rich, and no less a production of knowledge, than its print counterpart.
