- A text corpus of one hundred and one Marian Miracle stories in Old Swedish written between c. 1272 and 1430 has been digitally compiled from three transcribed sources from the 19th Century. Highly specialized knowledge is needed to interpret these texts, since the medieval variant of Swedish differs significantly from the modern form of the language. Both the vocabulary and spelling as well as the grammar show substantial variances compared to modern Swedish. To advance the understanding of these texts, automated tools for textual processing are needed. This paper preliminary investigates a number of strategies, such as frequency list analysis and methods for identifying spelling variations for producing stop word lists and exposing the key words of the texts. This can be a help to understand the texts, identifying different word forms of the same word, to ease a lexicon lookup and be a starting point for lemmatisation.
