Abstract
I present a stylistic exploration of the Oratio in funere Petri cardinalis S. Sixti by Nicholas, bishop of Modruš, held and printed in Rome in 1474 (and printed six more times until 1484). The digital text of the oration was divided into stylistically notable segments from which a digital index was compiled, to be explored sequentially, reordered, and analyzed quantitatively. In that way, a running stylistic commentary provides a description of the most frequent stylistic features (devices of ordering and repetition , of creating tension through word order and imagery), of especially expressive passages, and of recurring configurations.
