ABSTRACT
This chapter is twofold: first explaining the current state of the project, giving an overview of the corpus that is being collected, and presenting the methodology; the second part use the case study of the funerary inscription for Peter of Campagnolles in Acre to demonstrate this new approach. In more recent times the French Orientalists and archaeologists Melchior de Vogue and Charles Clermont-Ganneau, also transmitted the epigraphic documentation of the Holy Land. The inscription of Peter of Campagnolles comes from Acre, but its exact location in the city during the Middle Ages is not known. In the absence of the stone, it is not possible to give a technical analysis of the engraving. The survey must be extended by changing the geographical and chronological scale, to cover the whole of the Eastern Mediterranean, from Greece to Egypt, from the seventh to the sixteenth centuries.
